The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 788
Max did not take them out again after breakfast, choosing to stay inside the apartment. Throughout the morning, Felicia kept Anne company while she drew, and Max handled his business affairs in the room.
Later, the doorbell rang. Felicia went to open it and found a bakery staff member standing outside. "Hello, ma'am. This is the birthday cake you ordered yesterday."
Felicia reached out to take it, thanking the worker. The staff member also thoughtfully handed over a beautiful bouquet, wishing her a happy birthday. Felicia expressed her gratitude once more. Just as she was about to close the door, another delivery person arrived with a massive bouquet of red roses. It was obviously ordered by Max. The bouquet was so large that she had to step aside and let the worker bring it inside.
"Wow, so pretty!" Anne cheered when she saw the roses. "Did Daddy give these to Mommy?"
Felicia placed the cake down next to the flowers. The delivery worker pulled out a receipt, which Felicia signed before he left. She sat on the sofa, looking at the roses resting in front of her, the rich floral scent filling the air.
As noon approached, the apartment butler delivered fresh vegetables and meat. Max walked out of the bedroom and saw the roses and cake in the living room. "They've arrived," he noted as he walked over.
"Daddy, the flowers are so beautiful," Anne beamed, looking up at him.
Max looked at Felicia sitting beside her daughter and asked if she liked them. Felicia did not answer. He didn't press the issue, simply standing up and heading toward the massive open kitchen.
Felicia watched him inspect the delivered ingredients. Max looked back at her and asked if she wanted to come over and help him prep. Felicia froze for a moment, wondering if he was actually planning to cook himself.
Before she could react, Anne spoke up. "Mommy, let's go help Daddy!" The little girl grabbed Felicia's hand, pulling her up and leading her toward the kitchen.
He tied on an apron and stood in front of the stove. The sunlight fell perfectly on his profile, softening the deep, sharp contours of his handsome face and highlighting his tall, powerful back. His movements were surprisingly practiced. It seemed that whatever he wanted to do, he could master it with ease.
Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and looked back, catching the woman staring at him. Felicia's heart leaped, a sudden panic washing over her like she had been caught in the act.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
Felicia lowered her eyes, softly denying that she was looking at anything. She heard the man let out a low chuckle, which only made her tighten her grip on the potato peeler.
An hour passed. Felicia noticed that the man was still cooking while following recipes on a tablet. She had honestly thought he magically knew how to do everything without looking, but seeing his serious expression, anyone would think he was reviewing important project reports. "Is what you're making even edible?" she finally asked.

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....
