The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 719
Felicia's fingers stiffened slightly. Anne was beaming up at her mother with a bright smile. Felicia's heart sank just a fraction before she slowly raised her hand toward the man.
Max reached out, his large hand warmly enveloping her slender fingers. He slowly slid the ring onto her finger. The fit was absolutely perfect.
Anne cheered with excitement. "It looks so pretty. Mommy's hand looks even more beautiful with the ring on."
Felicia looked at her daughter, at a total loss for words for a moment. "You just have wonderful taste."
"Mommy, hurry and help Daddy try his on."
Seeing his cue, the manager immediately picked up the jewelry box with both hands and presented it to Felicia. She pulled out the matching men's band nestled inside and lifted her eyes to look at Max.
Max's intense gaze was already fixed on her. He lifted his hand and offered it to her. Felicia lightly supported his large palm with one hand. The soft touch of her fingertips sent an instant, subtle thrill across his skin. She did not hold his hand fully, simply guiding the ring as she slid it onto his ring finger.
Just as she prepared to pull her hand away, the man's long, sculptured fingers subtly tightened their grip. Felicia startled slightly, a flash of panic crossing her eyes. She looked up at the man before her, only to see a teasing, playful smirk curving the corners of his lips.
Felicia knew instantly that he was doing it on purpose just to mess with her.
Max quickly withdrew his hand. Anne was completely oblivious to the silent exchange between her parents. She reached out to grab her father's hand, examining the ring with a wide grin. "It looks great on Daddy too."
Max's lips curved into a genuine smile. "So we will take this pair?"
Anne nodded eagerly in agreement.
"Do you want to look at anything else?" he asked.
"Yes."
The staff quickly brought over a selection of other fine jewelry pieces. There were emeralds, pearls, crystals, and diamonds, all representing the highest tier of luxury currently available in the boutique.
"Daddy, this necklace is perfect for Mommy. You should put it on her."
Anne immediately shook her head. "Of course not. You are the most beautiful person in the whole wide world to me. No one can compare."
Felicia's gaze softened with affection. Before she could speak, Anne suddenly spun around to look at her father. "Daddy, isn't Mommy the most beautiful?"
Felicia's expression instantly froze.
Then came the man's deep, gentle voice. "Of course your mother is the most beautiful."
Felicia lifted her eyes. The man's warm, placid gaze was already resting heavily upon her, concealing emotions she simply could not read.
A second later, she lowered her eyelashes, deliberately avoiding his piercing stare.
Max instructed the manager to wrap up everything Anne had just chosen. The new rings on his and Felicia's fingers remained firmly in place.
The manager tallied up the total price, coming to a staggering forty eight million. The most expensive piece among them was the boutique's signature crown jewel collection, which the manager had proudly presented. Anne had fallen in love with it at first sight, and it alone was worth thirty million.

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....
