The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 74
Once Felicia got in the car, she said, “Back to Oakridge Estate.” She sent Ava a quick message to let her know she was on her way.
It was almost ten by the time Max came home. Felicia was waiting for him in the living room. When he walked in, his face was as cold as ever, not even glancing her way before moving to leave.
“Max!” Felicia called out, her voice sharper than usual.
Marian and Amaris, who were nearby, both jumped in surprise. Felicia had always acted so cautious around Max, barely raising her voice above a whisper. For her to call out like that, it was like she was a totally different person.
Max stopped, turning his head to look at her. Felicia walked over and stood in front of him, forcing herself to meet his icy stare. She squeezed her hands into fists, trying to steady her nerves.
“Why did you do this?” she asked, her voice trembling.
Max didn’t show any emotion, but his eyes flashed with anger. “Felicia, remember your place.”
His coldness stung. Felicia couldn’t keep her emotions in check anymore. “If you’re upset with me because of Andrea or because I didn’t listen to you, then fine. Take it out on me. But why are you going after Brightfield Digital?”
It was the first time she’d ever snapped at him. Her eyes filled with tears, but Max didn’t soften at all. If anything, his words were even harsher.
“You really think you matter that much to me?” he said quietly.
The message was clear. To him, she was nothing.
The words hit Felicia so hard it felt like she couldn’t breathe. She stared at him, pain written all over her face, but Max just looked away. “You’d better behave,” he warned.
Felicia was rushed to the hospital. After a bunch of tests, the doctor said the baby was showing signs of coming early, but things had calmed down. For now, everything was stable.
Marian had gone with her to the hospital and called Max to report what happened. Max just hung up without saying a word.
The next morning, Max’s phone rang. It was Miranda. “Max, what happened last night? I heard Felicia was taken to the hospital. Is she alright?”
Someone in the neighborhood had seen Felicia being carried away in the ambulance and assumed she was going into labor. The news spread fast and reached Miranda by morning.
“She’s fine now,” Max said, his tone flat, offering nothing more.

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....
