The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 792
Luke stepped forward and scooped Anne up, giving her a warm hug.
At the same time, a figure stood concealed behind a stone pillar on the second floor. Darin kept his peripheral vision focused on the scene below. Hearing Anne cheerfully call out to her uncles left an indescribable, bitter taste in his mouth, but for now, all he could do was stand there and watch.
Ava's sole purpose for coming was to take Felicia home immediately. Although she still didn't know exactly what had happened to Felicia, she had asked Greg earlier, and when he refused to speak, she decided to stop pressing for answers.
"Felicia, come home with me," Ava said, gripping Felicia's hand tightly.
Felicia didn't hesitate to agree, but as she looked over and saw Anne staring at her, she paused. Walking over to Luke, she reached out to hold the small hand of the daughter resting in his arms. "Anne, I’m going to go home with Grandma first."
Anne's little mouth formed a pout, her expression turning pitiful as she reached out, wanting her mother to hold her.
"I don’t have the strength to hold you right now, Anne," Felicia explained softly.
Luke gently set the little girl down. Felicia slowly crouched to her level, and Anne immediately wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, her big eyes looking back at her father.
Max stepped up beside them. "Anne, let Mommy go home first."
"Daddy," Anne whimpered, extremely reluctant to see her mother leave.
"Mommy is just going home," Max reassured her. Finally, Anne let go of her mother.
Luke was just about to help Felicia up when he saw Max bending down to offer his hand. Luke stopped his movement. Felicia stood up and raised her eyes to look at Max. Their eyes locked, but Max said nothing more. He simply instructed the staff to pack Felicia's belongings, and the jewelry he had bought for her the day before was handed over to Greg to carry.
"You and Jeremy were the ones who leaked the Kingsley International merger data, weren't you?" Max asked, his tone exceptionally heavy.
Darin stopped walking. "I will compensate you in full for your losses," he replied, his voice incredibly calm. He had only done it to force Max to return to the country and deal with the crisis, leaving Felicia behind.
Max suddenly let out a sneer, the sound chilling to the bone. He turned slightly, glaring daggers at Darin. "Do you honestly think I would accept your compensation?"
Darin met the man's fierce gaze head-on, speaking in a flat tone. "I don’t care what you do."
Their eyes locked in a tense standoff. In the brief, heavy silence that followed, the very air around them seemed to freeze solid.

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....
