The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 645
“Try these on.”
Felicia had already pulled herself together and gently took the shoes from him.
Jeremy slipped her high heels into the box, tucked it back into the bag, then looked at her as she put on the flats. “How do they feel? Comfortable?”
Felicia gave him a warm smile and nodded. “They’re perfect.”
Max watched them both, silent and unreadable.
Darin glanced over, then turned to Max. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
Max looked away from Felicia and Jeremy, focusing on Darin instead.
The two of them walked off together.
“You came straight from the airport, didn’t you?” Darin asked.
Max just nodded. He’d dropped Anne at home, then headed right here.
Darin paused, looking sideways at him. “What you’re doing only works when two people are genuinely in love. Otherwise, it just feels wrong, you know?”
Max’s lips curled in the barest hint of a smile. He reached for a wine glass, took a slow sip, then met Darin’s gaze. “Isn’t it normal for a husband and wife?”
Darin didn’t say anything, choosing to look somewhere else instead.
A quiet moment passed between them.
Max ran his fingers around the rim of his glass, slowly swirling the wine. His eyes followed the way it moved. “So. Are you thinking about working with Jeremy?”
“If there’s a good opportunity, sure,” Darin said, his voice even. “A partnership isn’t off the table.”
Max took another drink and stared out across the room, his tone impossible to read. “That could work.”
Neither of them spoke after that. The silence felt heavy, settling around them and pressing in.
The banquet lasted until nine in the evening.
Guests drifted out one by one.
Max found Felicia as things were winding down. “Let’s head home. Anne’s waiting for us.”
Felicia looked at him for a moment, then spoke in a soft voice. “I just need to say goodbye to Colt.”
Max nodded.
Felicia walked over to Colt to say goodnight.
Watching her tonight, Colt realized Max really had feelings for Felicia. He’d seen powerful women get men’s attention before, but this… this was different. For someone like Max to go out of his way for her, it was impressive.
Felicia usually kept a low profile, but tonight, she’d been the center of everything.

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....
