The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 695
Half an hour later, the car pulled smoothly into the underground parking garage.
After they got out, Anne held her father’s hand, skipping happily along the whole way, her face beaming with joy.
They took the elevator upstairs.
A maid saw them and came forward to greet them. “Mr. Hawthorne, you’re back.”
Max gave a slight nod and instructed the maid to take Anne to change her clothes. The maid agreed, but then opened her mouth as if to say something more, only to hesitate and fall silent.
Max noticed her strange behavior. “Is something wrong?”
“A young lady is staying here,” the maid quickly explained. “Ms. Ross arranged for her to come a few days ago.”
At her words, Max’s eyes darkened. The maid’s heart skipped a beat.
“Where is she?” he asked.
“She’s in the backyard right now,” the maid replied.
“Take Anne upstairs first.”
“Yes, sir.”
Anne looked at her father curiously. “What’s wrong, Daddy? Do we have a guest?”
Max’s tone softened. “Anne, go upstairs first.”
Anne nodded. “Oh.”
The maid led Anne upstairs to her room.
Max went to the backyard.
There, a figure in a blue dress sat on a swing, swaying gently. Her long, golden hair shimmered in the sunlight. With the spring breeze stirring her hair and skirt, surrounded by blooming flowers, she was so beautiful she seemed otherworldly, like a fairy who had wandered into the mortal realm.
He had still been in Northwick.
Olisha watched his expression, twisting her fingers, at a complete loss. “Um, my father…”
Before she could finish, the phone in Max’s pocket began to vibrate.
He pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. It was none other than Olisha’s father.
Max answered the call, his tone polite. “Mr. Freeman.”
After a few pleasantries, Mr. Freeman chuckled. “Olisha is with you now. She doesn’t know anyone there, so I’ll have to trouble you to look after her, Max. Once she’s gotten this out of her system, I’ll have someone bring her back.”
Max’s lips curved into a smile, but his eyes were completely devoid of warmth. “Since it’s a request from you, of course, I’ll take good care of her.”
“With you saying that, Max, I can rest assured leaving Olisha with you.”

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....
