The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 807
For a long moment, the atmosphere inside the spacious office plunged into a freezing, suffocating tension. Ultimately, Darin stormed out of the office, his face a mask of livid fury.
Dannie, who was standing near the entrance, shrank back when she saw Darin emerge. Feeling the sharp, chilling aura radiating from him, she immediately stepped to the side and bowed her head respectfully. "Mr. Foxhall."
Darin marched right past her without a word, his long strides carrying him swiftly toward the elevators.
Once Darin was gone, Dannie entered the office to deliver her report to Max. Max's expression was as calm and composed as ever. The top buttons of his collar were now neatly fastened. It’s like he had likely left them unbuttoned entirely on purpose, putting on a deliberate show for a specific audience.
After finishing her report, Dannie left the executive office. Isaac happened to be looking for her regarding some business matters. Once they finished discussing work, Dannie could not contain her curiosity.
"It seems like Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Foxhall had a major falling out," she noted quietly. "Did something happen?"
Isaac frowned deeply. Anyone in the business world could have a conflict of interest with Mr. Hawthorne, except Mr. Foxhall. Yet, he too could clearly sense the massive rift that had suddenly formed between the two leaders. Given the recent sabotage of the Kingsley International project, the only person Isaac could realistically suspect was Darin. For years, the two men had never had a single conflict. Though Isaac did not know the exact details, his gut told him it had everything to do with Felicia. Who could have ever imagined that a woman who once seemed so inconsequential would wield such catastrophic influence?
Deciding not to share his theories, Isaac kept his expression stern. "Just focus on doing your job properly. Do not go snooping into things that do not concern you."
Dannie, knowing better than to push her luck, nodded obediently. "Understood."
Back at the estate, Felicia handed the phone back to the nanny. "Where is Anne?" she asked. The moment the words left her mouth, she was startled by how incredibly hoarse and raspy her own voice sounded.
The nanny offered a knowing, gentle smile. "She is currently playing the piano by herself in the music room."
"Okay. You can step out for now."
"Let me help you out of bed, Madam."
"Okay!" Anne chirped, grabbing her mother's hand and leading the way downstairs.
After sharing a pleasant lunch with Anne, the nanny brought over the freshly warmed bowl of herbal medicine. Anne stared at the dark, sludgy liquid. It was her absolute least favorite thing in the world. She instinctively pinched her nose. Though her heart ached knowing her mother had to drink something so foul, Daddy had told her that Mommy had to finish it all to get better.
"Mommy, you have to be a good girl and drink your medicine. Once you drink it, you will feel all better. Look, I even got the candy ready for you!" Anne proudly pulled two wrapped sweets from the pocket of her little dress.
Looking at her daughter's earnest face, a soft smile touched Felicia's lips. She reached out and took the bowl. Anne kept her wide eyes glued to her mother, looking exactly like a strict little supervisor.
Holding the bowl, Felicia let out a long breath, tipped her head back, and downed the bitter concoction in two large gulps. The moment the bowl was empty, Anne frantically pressed the candies into her mother's hand and patted her back with her tiny palms. "Not bitter, Mommy! You are the best at drinking medicine! Even better than me!"
Felicia could not help but chuckle, gently pinching her daughter's little nose.

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....
