The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 698
Max stood up and walked over to Felicia with steady steps. His gaze bypassed Jeremy entirely and landed solely on her. "Let's go. It is time to head back."
As he spoke, he reached out and naturally took the woman's hand, holding it firmly in his large palm. Then, he glanced sideways at Jeremy. "Mr. Milman, see you later."
For a brief moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze as their eyes met.
Max led Felicia out of the hall and they got into the car.
The vehicle slowly drove away, soon merging into the main road.
Max held the steering wheel. He kept his eyes on the road ahead and asked, "What are your plans?"
Felicia answered calmly, "I have no plans to leave."
Hearing this, Max's handsome face showed no trace of emotion. His tone was perfectly flat. "Since you want to stay, then stay."
Listening to his indifferent tone, Felicia remained silent and did not reply. She had no intention of telling him about her future arrangements.
Darin wanted to collaborate with Roen Capital. The partnership would be conducted in secret and kept entirely out of the public eye. However, given Max's shrewdness, it was impossible for him not to notice. Yet, for now, he seemed to be making no moves.
What was the real reason Darin had gone behind Max's back to seek out Jeremy for a partnership?
Had a rift formed between the two of them?
Even if that were true, given their history, they would not fall out so easily.
She simply could not figure it out at the moment.
Jeremy certainly knew what he was doing, so she felt no need to overthink the matter.
By the time they returned to Oakridge Estate, it was almost ten o'clock.
Max went straight to the study.
Anne was sleeping in the master bedroom tonight. Felicia moved softly and opened the door. Warm light bathed the bedroom, and Anne's tiny body lay peacefully in the center of the large bed.
She walked over. Anne’s sweet, soft appearance made her heart melt.
Felicia sat on the edge of the bed and watched her daughter for a while. She tucked the covers around the little girl, then got up and went to the dressing room to grab clean pajamas.
As Felicia's consciousness slowly returned, she opened her eyes to see Anne's soft, chubby little face. Behind her, the space was empty. Max had gotten up at some unknown hour.
It was not until seven thirty in the morning that Anne woke up right on time.
"Baby, you are awake."
Anne yawned and called out softly. "Mommy."
"It is time to get up."
Anne reached out her little arms, whining for a hug.
Felicia picked Anne up, supporting her little bottom with both hands while Anne leaned lazily against her mother's shoulder.
After holding her for a while, Felicia helped Anne wash up and get dressed. Then, she took her daughter's hand and led her downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Max was leaning back on the sofa, flipping through the morning newspaper.
At the same time, Felicia noticed another figure. A young woman in a long blue dress and an apron stood there, her long hair half tied up. She carried a cup of coffee over to Max and offered it to him with both hands. "Mr. Hawthorne, please try the coffee I made."

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....
