The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 64
Ava glanced over her shoulder at Felicia, then walked over and gently helped her sit up, slipping a coat over her shoulders.
Max was upstairs in his study.
Felicia took the elevator up and walked quietly to the study door. She knocked before stepping inside. Max was on the phone, talking about work. Felicia moved in slowly, one hand supporting her lower back. After a few more words, Max hung up. Felicia stood in front of him. He looked at her and asked, “What’s your relationship with Jeremy?”
She blinked, thrown off by the question. “He was my advisor in grad school,” she said.
Max nodded slightly. “So you know Mr. Gilbert?”
“Mr. Gilbert was Mr. Milman’s advisor. I knew him back then, too.”
Max’s voice was steady. “Mr. Gilbert’s been at the university a lot lately.”
Felicia studied his face, trying to figure out what he was getting at. His expression was impossible to read. That made her a little uneasy. “He’s been coming by and asking me to read the newspaper to him.”
Max’s gaze lingered on her, dark and unreadable. Then he looked away. “Alright. Leave me.”
Felicia answered quietly, “Okay. You should get some rest, too.” She turned and left, still holding her back.
Back in the bedroom, Ava was waiting, a look of worry on her face. “What did he want?”
Felicia shrugged. “Nothing much. He just asked about my work at the university.”
Ava frowned. “That’s weird. Why would he suddenly care about your job?”
She had only been staying here a few days, but she could already tell how distant Max was with Felicia. They really did seem like strangers.
Felicia just shook her head; she didn’t want to think about it.
Suddenly, Felicia spotted someone familiar. She looked closer and saw Max…and Andrea’s brother, Darin.
Darin seemed to notice them too. He looked their way.
Savannah locked eyes with Darin and immediately frowned. “Just great,” she muttered, rolling her eyes.
Felicia tried not to let it get to her. “Let’s just pretend we didn’t see them. We’re here for the music.”
Savannah sighed. “You’re taking this pretty well.”
Felicia just smiled gently. “What else can I do?”
Savannah let out another sigh and didn’t say anything more.

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....
