The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 681
Hearing this, the man’s grip loosened slightly. He took her hands in his and sighed softly. “It won’t happen again. From now on, I’ll discuss things with you first.”
He always spoke with that same tone of absolute control.
Felicia yanked her hands away and turned her back to him, creating distance. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and took a deep breath, her profile tense and her expression grim.
From the 39th floor, she couldn’t make out the details below, but she could see the blurred shapes of the crowd that had gathered at the main entrance.
Max stood where he was, watching her quietly.
For a moment, the vast office was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Just then, the intercom buzzed again.
Max turned and pressed the button. Isaac’s respectful voice came through the speaker. “Mr. Hawthorne, there’s a meeting document that needs your approval.”
“Come in.”
“Yes, sir.”
Isaac entered a moment later.
The instant he walked in, he saw Evelynn standing by the windows.
He was certain of one thing now. Felicia must have married Mr. Hawthorne five years ago, using a baby to secure her position, which was why Mr. Hawthorne had despised her so much back then.
But now, the tables had completely turned.
Mr. Hawthorne adored their child. In five years, Evelynn had completely transformed herself. She had left her child behind and taken a gamble that had finally paid off.
He felt a genuine sense of admiration for her.
“I’m on my way home now.”
When she arrived, Colton and Ava were waiting for her in the living room.
“Felicia.”
They had, of course, seen the announcement from BlueMarble Investments and the news exploding online.
“Now that Max has made your relationship public, it looks like he really has no intention of divorcing you,” Ava said, her anger flaring. Living with a man like that for the rest of her life would be torture for any woman. “He really does whatever he wants, without any consideration for whether you agree, Felicia.”
Colton looked at his daughter’s exhausted face, his own filled with concern. “Felicia, why don’t you go upstairs and get some rest? We can talk about everything else later.”
After Felicia went upstairs, Colton’s phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw the caller ID. It was Darin.
“Darin.”

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....
