The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 82
The next morning, Felicia got a call from Miranda, asking her to come by the family estate. She didn’t really have a choice, so she agreed. Around eleven, Greg drove her over. He parked outside the main gate and turned off the engine.
Luke had stayed at the estate the night before. He knew Felicia was coming, so he was already waiting outside when they arrived. Spotting Greg, he walked over to say hello.
“Felicia, you and Luke go ahead inside,” Greg said.
Felicia nodded. “Okay.”
Luke glanced at Greg. “Since you’re here, Greg, why don’t you come in too?”
Greg shook his head. “It’s fine. You go ahead with Felicia.”
Honestly, the Hawthorne family had never invited anyone from the Ross family to their gatherings. Greg knew if he went in, it would just make things uncomfortable for everyone. Luke didn’t push any further. “I’ll make sure Felicia’s alright. I’ll drive her back when we’re done.”
“Alright.”
Just then, a Bentley pulled up and rolled into the estate. Felicia recognized it right away. It was Max’s car.
“Let’s go,” Luke said.
The two of them headed inside. Felicia was heavily pregnant now. Her belly was obvious, and it looked like her due date was just around the corner. She moved slowly, one hand on her back and the other cradling her stomach. Walking with Luke, chatting quietly as they crossed the courtyard, made the trip feel a little less exhausting.
They finally made it into the main hall. Miranda and Tatiana were already sitting in the living room. Max wasn’t there.
Felicia walked over. “Grandma.” Her eyes landed on Tatiana and she hesitated for a moment before adding quietly, “Mom.”
Tatiana shot her a cold look and said nothing.
“Max, don’t you think you’re being too harsh?”
Max’s eyes were dark and intense, as if he could see right through Luke. He stared at him for a second, then asked, “You are into her?”
Luke froze for a moment. Of course Max would notice. There was no hiding anything from him. Luke turned away, looking out the window. He didn’t bother denying it.
“Yeah. We’ve known each other since middle school. I’ve been in love with her for a long time. Maybe you think she’s not beautiful enough for you, but Felicia used to be gorgeous. Honestly, Andrea isn’t even a tenth as pretty as Felicia was. And Felicia’s looks were the least of what made her special.”
Max listened quietly, his face unreadable.
“My mom told me Felicia drugged you… that’s how she got pregnant.” Luke let out a short, bitter laugh. “I don’t believe that for a second. No matter how much she liked you, Felicia would never do something like that.”
He turned to look at Max’s impassive face. “It’s not my place to judge you, Max. But don’t you think, as a man, you should at least show your pregnant wife some basic respect?”

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....
