The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 689
Darin was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, as if hesitating.
Jeremy began to speak. "If it's inconvenient for you to say, Mr. Foxhall, then..."
"She's my biological sister," Darin interrupted.
At his words, Jeremy’s brow tightened. Silence fell over the office.
But Jeremy quickly processed the reality of the situation. He knew Felicia had a brother, one her mother had taken with her when she divorced years ago.
He never imagined it was Darin.
"Fate certainly works in strange ways," he said.
It was understandable that Darin wouldn't dare to reveal himself to Felicia now.
Darin gave a bitter laugh. "Yes, strange ways indeed. Not only did I fail to protect her, I've been hurting her all along."
"So when you ask for my thoughts on Felicia and Max's public announcement, what is it you want to know?"
"If it were possible," Darin said, "I would much rather the person by Felicia's side was you, Mr. Milman. I want her to be happy. I don't want to see her in pain. Felicia has a strong will, but Max is extremely controlling. She won't be happy with him."
He couldn't forgive Max for his actions, just as he couldn't forgive himself.
"But getting them to divorce now won't be easy," Jeremy said.
"True. The biggest issue is Anne. With this public exposure and all the rumors flying around, Felicia will face a lot of trouble working at Roen Capital. If possible, Mr. Milman, you could consider letting her come work for me."
Jeremy stared at him without an immediate answer.
Darin smiled faintly. "Worried I can't protect her?"
"It's not that," Jeremy replied. "Felicia probably doesn't have a very good impression of you right now, Mr. Foxhall."
"That's why I'll need you to mediate, Mr. Milman. I know you're the person Felicia trusts most right now."
"I'll need to think about it," Jeremy said.
On his way back, he ran into Anthony, who was on his way to an appointment. "That was fast. Wasn't it about work?"
"No," Jeremy said. "Go on, you're busy. We'll talk later."
"Alright."
The next day, Max arrived at the Ross family's home to pick up Felicia and Anne.
Amber had given birth to a baby boy last week, and since it was the weekend, they had time to visit her at the hospital.
Amber had reached out to Felicia directly.
"Daddy!"
Anne had missed her father dearly after not seeing him for a few days.
Max strode over and swept her into his arms. After a moment of affection between father and daughter, he looked up at Felicia. "Let's go."

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....
