The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 636
Gavin stood in the doorway, eyeing Max’s stormy face. He raised an eyebrow, a sly smile playing at his lips. “Back already? That was quick.”
He looked past Max, listening for a moment. Somewhere inside, he caught the faint sound of a girl crying. “Really, man. Did you just make a gorgeous girl cry? That’s cold, even for you.”
Max didn’t even glance his way. He just kept walking, his long strides swallowing the hallway.
Gavin watched until Max disappeared, then stepped inside. He found Olisha curled up on the floor, almost completely bare, her face streaked with tears. There was something heartbreakingly vulnerable about her.
He knelt beside her and took off his jacket, laying it over her shoulders.
Olisha’s eyes, glossy with tears, turned up to meet his. Gavin reached out, lifting her chin with a gentle thumb. “Max is really something, isn’t he? Always pretending he doesn’t care… Olisha, why not let me be the good guy for once?”
She looked away, her cheeks flushing.
Gavin just let out a soft laugh. “Still only got eyes for him? You want my help instead?”
Olisha’s eyes widened, shocked and silent.
Ten minutes later, Max was boarding his private jet, heading straight back to the island.
By the time he made it home, it was almost nine thirty at night.
Felicia had just put Anne to bed and slipped out of the shower. She was still towel-drying her hair when the bedroom door burst open. She jumped, startled, turning fast. Max was standing there, and right away she could tell something was off.
He wasn’t supposed to be back so soon.
Worse, there was something different about him tonight.
Max’s eyes locked on her. She was wearing plain, silky pajamas, nothing flashy, but it still managed to draw his gaze. His stare darkened, intense, drinking her in.
Felicia felt a shiver run down her spine. The air between them seemed to spark, hot and tense.
He moved toward her, his steps fast and determined.
“Max, what are you—mmph!”
An hour passed.
Max came back to the bedroom, towel-dried and chilly as if he had just walked through a rainstorm. The room was quiet. Anne was curled up, fast asleep on the big bed. Felicia was nowhere to be seen.
Max went into the dressing room, pulled on a fresh pair of pajamas, then came back and lifted the covers. He lay next to Anne, watching her peaceful little face. For the first time that night, his eyes softened.
Anne kicked off her blanket in her sleep, and Max gently tucked her back in. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then turned off the light, finally letting himself rest at her side.
Morning came.
At breakfast, Max found Felicia in the sunny kitchen, moving quietly around the table. He looked completely relaxed, his outfit casual and effortless. His voice, when he greeted her, was easy and concerned, as if nothing strange had happened at all.
“Did you sleep okay last night?” he asked, eyes warm.
You’d never guess he was the same man who nearly lost it the night before.

Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
