The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 823
Felicia reached out and took the book from his hand. Back when she was a student, she had flipped through this book countless times. She opened it to the first page.
Max turned around, went back to his desk, and started working. Silence filled the quiet study. Not a sound was heard.
After finishing a task, Max looked up at the woman sitting on the sofa. She was earnestly reading the book in her hands. She was so entirely focused that she didn't notice his gaze at all. Max withdrew his eyes.
An hour and a half later, Max had finished the majority of his tasks. He raised a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. Felicia was still turning the pages, completely engrossed in the story.
Max walked over to her, but she remained entirely oblivious. It wasn't until the book was taken from her hands that Felicia belatedly looked up at the man standing in front of her.
She heard his teasing tone. "Quite the studious one, aren't you?"
"Give the book back to me," Felicia said.
Max glanced at the page number and slipped a bookmark inside. "Read it tomorrow. Get some rest early."
"I cannot sleep."
"Then read it in bed."
Felicia stood up, snatched the book from his hand, and turned to walk out the door.
Since he still had work left to do, Max didn't follow her out. He simply watched her leave.
By the time he finished his work, it was already past midnight. When he returned to the bedroom, he found Felicia leaning against the headboard, still reading. He walked over and plucked the book from her grasp. "Alright, it is very late. Lie down and go to sleep."
"I cannot sleep until I finish reading it," Felicia said.
Max glanced at the book in his hand. She had already reached the forty-eighth chapter. "We have to take Anne to school tomorrow morning. Don't end up unable to get out of bed."
Seeing the card the man offered, Felicia was suddenly reminded of the time in New York when she saw Andrea holding this exact card. Her expression instantly changed. She made no move to take it, speaking coldly instead. "I don't need it."
With that, she turned and walked away.
Heather had just been marveling internally at Max handing over his black card to Felicia. She couldn't immediately process the sudden change in Felicia's attitude. Just as she turned to follow her, Max spoke up.
"Ms. Milman."
Heather paused and looked back at his serious expression. Her heart skipped a beat as she heard him say, "Her condition is unstable right now. While you accompany her, you can talk more about the children. But I expect you know what should and shouldn't be said."
Faced with the man's sudden dominance, she inevitably felt a wave of anxiety. She quietly took a breath. "Naturally, I do not want to see Felicia hurt or sad."
With that, she hurried to catch up with Felicia.

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....
