Felicia fixed her gaze on him, silent for a long, tense moment.
When she finally spoke, her voice was laced with sarcasm. “You seriously don’t know what you did? Should I pull up the video receipts for you?”
Max kept his cool. “I’m not denying anything I actually did. But I won’t take the blame for things that never happened. If you have something to show me, then go ahead. Let’s see what kind of video proof makes you so sure there’s something between me and her.”
Felicia let out a humorless laugh, staring right at him. “Come on, Max. You used to spoil her rotten, like she was your whole world. Now she’s moving on and getting engaged to someone else, and you can’t handle it. Andrea’s still hung up on you. The two of you getting back together—it just makes sense, doesn’t it? Nobody’s making anything up.”
Max met her eyes without flinching. “Going over old ground gets us nowhere. I’ve said it before. I signed that agreement with you, so why would I do anything to embarrass myself? I have things in my life I need to sort out, that’s true. As for that night at the hotel, Darin and I were there looking for someone. It’s not how you imagine.”
He paused for a moment, looking off into the distance. “I can promise you, after this is settled, there’ll be nothing left between me and her.”
Felicia listened, her expression unreadable. “You don’t need to promise me anything. Whatever it is you’re trying to ‘fix’ with Andrea, you’re already involved again. That means you broke the agreement.”
Max turned, his voice going low. “So, what—you want a divorce now?”
Felicia shifted to face him, locking eyes with him. His gaze was intense and dark and almost suffocating.
He kept going. “If we get divorced, I will remarry. Just think about that for a second. Are you really ready to let Anne go? Ready for her to call some other woman ‘mom’?”
His breath was warm on her cheek.
“Are you done?” Felicia’s voice was cool, but there was a tremor under it.
Max looked down at her, letting go of her hand. “I can offer Roen Capital part of my Heathview shares.”
Felicia gave a small, cold smile. “How generous. I don’t need it.”
“It’s fine. Just think about it,” Max said. “Anything you need right now, whatever it is, I’ll do it.”

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....
