The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 740
In the quiet space, Felicia sat for a moment, then stood up and said, "You..."
She had barely spoken when she heard Max ask, "How was lunch today?"
Felicia paused in her motion to rise and answered calmly, "It was fine."
"How was the New Zealand beef brisket?" he asked again, his tone so even it sounded as if he were genuinely just asking for a food review.
Felicia felt there was more to his question, but she couldn't guess his underlying meaning. She replied naturally, "The meat was indeed very tender."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the man let out an ambiguous chuckle, his gaze even carrying a hint of mockery as he watched her.
Meeting his eyes, Felicia felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest.
"There was no beef brisket in today's lunch."
Felicia tightened her fingers, lowered her eyes, took a quiet breath, and explained, "I had the sausages someone sent today. I couldn't finish the lunch you sent."
"It seems these sausages are much more appealing to you."
Max said this as he picked up his fork and took another piece.
Felicia remained silent, offering no response.
"You didn't eat it, but why lie?"
His words left Felicia unsure of how to counter. After a moment of silence, she said, "I didn't mean to lie. You asked me how it tasted, and I couldn't exactly say I hadn't had it."
Max continued in his unreadable tone, "You certainly know how to consider other people's feelings."
Listening to him, Felicia felt a sour knot in her stomach. She retorted, "That was just a normal, polite response."
Max gave a low chuckle and didn't press the matter further.
Felicia stood up and said, "Take your time eating."
Max didn't try to stop her.
After Felicia left, Max's phone buzzed. He picked it up and answered, "Hello."
Max put his phone away, stood up, and left the dining room. His phone pinged again. Darin had sent another message: Felicia is going to Cloudville. Do not try to stop her.
Max looked at the message and typed: What, planning a reunion, or do you want to keep her in Cloudville and never let her come back?
Darin: I naturally intend to protect her.
Max: I am not doing anything to her right now.
Darin: Regardless, I do not approve of you as my brother-in-law.
Max: You haven't even acknowledged her yet.
Darin stared at the man's message and did not reply further.
Max didn't go upstairs. He sat on the living room sofa, watching television.
After putting Anne to sleep, Felicia came downstairs.
Max saw her. "Is Anne asleep?"

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....
