The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 768
The sound of the bedroom door opening broke the quiet. Anne poked her little head inside, calling out softly, "Mommy."
Not seeing her mother right away, the little girl looked confused until she heard her father's voice. "We're out here," Max called out.
Anne quickly ran out toward the balcony. "Daddy, Mommy!" She threw herself into Felicia's arms, her large, bright eyes gazing up with deep concern. "Mommy, does it still hurt?"
Felicia gently stroked Anne's small head, her voice soft and soothing. "Mommy is perfectly fine now."
Max had made sure Anne never witnessed Felicia's severe breakdowns. He only allowed the little girl into the room to keep her company after Felicia had been given a sedative and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Still, the clever kid could sense that something was different about her mother.
Anne wrapped her arms tightly around Felicia's waist, resting her face against her stomach. "I will always stay with Mommy."
Felicia smiled faintly, her fingers gently combing through her daughter's soft hair.
Later that afternoon, Max took Anne out to the lawn to fly a kite. Felicia sat on a bench by the lake, quietly watching them play.
"Mommy, Mommy, look! The kite is flying so high!" Anne jumped up and down in excitement.
Felicia looked up at the kite soaring into the vast, azure sky. Puffy white clouds drifted idly by in a sky that looked like a painted canvas. When she eventually lowered her gaze, she unexpectedly caught Max looking at her.
Holding the kite reel, Max walked over and took a seat beside her on the bench. He offered her the reel. "Can you hold this?"
Felicia looked at the handle. She lifted her hand to test her strength, finding that she had recovered much more energy than she possessed around noon. Knowing full well what condition she was in, she also knew she needed to regain her strength as quickly as possible.
She reached out and took the reel, though she couldn't grip it with full force.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind jerked the kite violently. Her weak grip faltered, and she nearly let go. Before the reel could slip, a large, warm hand closed tightly over hers, giving her the strength needed to steady the handle.
Felicia stiffened at the sudden contact.
Felicia looked up at him. She really did want to try walking. Placing the shell back into Anne's basket, she let Max assist her up. Seeing this, Anne quickly set her basket on the ground and reached out her tiny hands to help support her mother.
After taking off her shoes, Felicia stood barefoot in the soft sand. Supported by Max's strong arm, she found her balance.
"I can stand now. You can let go."
Max slowly released his hold on her.
"Be careful, Mommy," Anne murmured, her little face filled with worry.
Felicia looked down at her daughter with a tender smile. "I’m alright.."
She tentatively took a step forward. Her legs felt clumsy and uncoordinated, but she managed to stay upright and keep moving. Exhaling a slow breath, she focused all her energy on keeping her body balanced.

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....
