The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 787
That night, Felicia did not experience the uncontrollable symptoms she had over the past few nights. She only woke up halfway through the night without any severe reactions. As she threw off the covers to get out of bed, the man beside her woke up. Max looked at her, sitting up to ask where she was going.
"To the bathroom," Felicia answered in a normal tone.
Max simply watched her go. When she returned to the room, she saw him leaning against the headboard, waiting for her. She walked over, pulled back the covers, and lay down again.
Max turned on his side and pressed close behind her. "I can't sleep. Do you want to watch a movie?" he offered, trying to distract her.
"I don't want to," Felicia replied.
Max didn't force the issue. "Then let's talk for a bit."
Felicia remained silent. Max didn't push her to speak either, knowing they didn't seem to have many common topics to discuss. He just held her like that. The room was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing filled the air.
After an unknown amount of time, Felicia finally spoke. "Max."
"Hmm?"
"You don't have to keep staying by my side like this," she murmured.
Max slowly opened his eyes. "If I don't stay by your side, who will?"
Felicia had nothing more to say. The minutes and seconds ticked by. She couldn't fall asleep, but she could clearly feel that the man behind her had already drifted off, his breathing growing exceptionally deep and steady.
The next day, bright sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the room where the lights had been left on. The man on the large bed fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes. Once his mind cleared, he turned to check the spot beside him, finding the woman already gone. He rested for a moment before throwing off the covers and getting out of bed. After a quick wash, he opened the door and walked out. Before he even reached the living room, he heard Anne and Felicia talking.
Felicia, of course, flipped it back effortlessly. Max found that the game was actually a good finger exercise and helped with concentration, so he stayed and played with her a few more times until there was simply no way to flip the string any further.
"Alright, it’s breakfast time now," Max finally said.
The apartment butler soon delivered breakfast, and the three of them sat down to eat. Midway through the meal, the vibration of Max's phone buzzed from the direction of the bedroom. He set down his chopsticks, got up, and walked over to answer it. Seeing the caller ID was from the manor, he pressed the connect button.
The butler's voice came through the line. "Sir, Mrs. Hawthrone’s mother and brother have arrived at the pier. Mr. Foxhall asked me to arrange for someone to pick them up and bring them to the manor." Darin hadn't contacted Max directly, choosing instead to have the butler notify him.
Max's handsome face remained calm and unreadable upon hearing the news. "Just make the arrangements," he instructed.
The butler respectfully agreed.

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....
