The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 639
After Darin left, Felicia followed Jeremy into his office.
“Why is Darin back again?” she asked.
Jeremy picked up his glass of warm water, took a slow sip, and answered, “This time, he’s here looking for a partnership with Roen Capital.”
Felicia frowned, her eyebrows knitting together. “A partnership?”
Roen Capital had put their money behind the Curtis family, which put them right at odds with Darin. And Jeremy’s connection with Max was deep, so teaming up with Darin didn’t make sense at all.
Jeremy went on, “You know what happened with the Lisbon family. Everyone’s trying to get their share now, but the one who’s benefited the most is Darin.”
Felicia caught on right away. Of course, Darin wanted to use the Lisbon family's situation to strike some kind of deal with Jeremy.
“After all this, Darin’s reputation has blown up in Capital circles,” Jeremy added. “But I haven’t said yes to anything yet.”
Felicia looked thoughtful. “I just wonder what he’s up to this time.”
Jeremy studied her. His eyes were serious, his voice thoughtful. “Yeah, me too.”
She let the topic drop and handed him a file. “Here’s the report on the overseas project.”
Once they'd finished going over the paperwork, Jeremy looked up. “Got any plans tonight?”
Felicia didn’t hesitate. “Miranda reached out to me. She wants me to come home to the Hawthorne estate tonight.”
Jeremy raised a brow. “First time she’s called in ages?”
Felicia nodded. “Exactly. I’m curious to see what she wants.”
Felicia thought for a second, then typed back: If they really are your closest, most important person, would you truly hurt them by accident?
After hitting send, she waited. The chat window showed he was typing for a long time.
Maybe he just didn’t know how to answer. The question itself sounded like he was dodging responsibility.
Felicia set her phone down and stared out the window, lost in thought.
A few minutes later, her phone pinged again.
This time, his message was longer: Actually, it wasn’t entirely by accident. We were apart for a lot of years, and honestly, I feel awful that I didn’t recognize her when we saw each other again. I know it’s probably too late now. I don’t expect her to forgive me, but I still want to do something to make things right.
Felicia stared at his words for a while before answering: I’m not sure I can really answer that. If there’s still time, maybe you can fix things. But if the damage is already done, sometimes no amount of making up will be enough. That’s just what I think, anyway.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
