The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 804
Accompanying the overwhelming bitterness was the warm, intoxicating breath of the man pressing against her lips. Felicia furrowed her brows in deep resistance, desperate to spit out the foul liquid. But his lips sealed hers flawlessly, leaving no room for escape. The sharp, earthy bitterness shot straight to her head, forcing her to swallow the medicine down her throat. She shoved frantically against his solid chest, feeling completely deprived of oxygen.
Only then did Max slowly release the woman in his arms.
Felicia immediately turned sideways, turning the faucet on full blast to rinse her mouth. Her chest heaved as she gasped for air. With trembling fingers, she unwrapped a candy and popped it onto her tongue. Once her breathing steadied, she looked at the man standing calmly beside her. He casually pulled a tissue from the dispenser, wiped the corner of his mouth, and tossed it into the trash can. "Give me one," he requested.
Felicia handed him a candy without a word.
Max took it, unwrapped the packaging, and tossed the sweet into his mouth. "No matter how bitter it is, you still have to finish your medicine. You are not a little child anymore."
Felicia shot him a mild glare, offering no response, and stepped around him to walk out the door. Max followed her out of the bathroom.
Around eight thirty in the evening, Max wrapped up his work. When he looked up, he saw the woman resting quietly on the sofa, leaning against the armrest with her eyes closed. She had indeed lost quite a bit of weight. Her figure looked much more fragile, and her slender calves were exposed in the cool air of the office. He stood up, lightening his footsteps as he approached, and slowly crouched on one knee before her. His dark, composed eyes studied her serene, delicate face. Stripped of any makeup, her skin possessed a cool hue. The bright office lights washed over her features, giving her a soft glow. She breathed evenly, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, fast asleep.
Suddenly, the man reached out. His long fingers gently brushed against her cheek, the tips making soft contact with her skin.
At his touch, Felicia's eyelashes fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision clearing to reveal the man kneeling right in front of her. The moment their eyes locked, her pupils trembled slightly, filled with the hazy bewilderment of someone just waking up.
Max pulled his hand back. "You are awake."
Regaining her senses, Felicia propped herself up on her arms. Max stood up, towering over her. "Go freshen up. We are leaving."
"Understood," Dannie replied, taking the folder.
Max then guided Felicia toward the elevators. Dannie stood rooted to the spot, watching their retreating figures. Once they were out of sight, she turned and walked into Max's office, placing the documents neatly on his desk.
As she turned to leave, her footsteps faltered. She remembered overhearing Max on the phone earlier that day, instructing his lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. Yet, the dynamic between the two of them just now did not resemble a couple on the brink of separation in the slightest. Seeing Felicia's compliant demeanor, Dannie concluded that no woman could truly reject a man like Max. It made sense. When a proud, elite man lowered his pride to show affection, no woman could possibly resist.
She turned around, walked behind the massive executive desk, and pulled open the top drawer. The draft of the divorce agreement sat right there in plain sight. She reached in, pulled out the document, and flipped through the pages. Pulling out her phone, she quickly snapped several photos of the terms. Once done, she carefully placed the agreement back exactly as she had found it. Acting as if nothing had happened, she walked out of the office and gently closed the door behind her.
At this late hour, the entire corporate tower still blazed with brilliant lights. Max and Felicia got into the waiting car, and the vehicle slowly pulled away from the company headquarters.

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....
