The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 83
Max stepped up and gave him a quick pat on the shoulder. “Trust me, when you get married someday, you’ll be a way better husband than I ever was.” He dropped his hand and walked off toward the lounge without another word.
Luke just stood there, staring after him.
It wasn’t until lunchtime that Felicia finally saw Max. The whole family gathered around the dining table. As they ate, Miranda brought up the hospital. She told Max to take Felicia in for a full checkup first thing in the morning. With the due date coming up, it was time to get everything ready.
Max didn’t argue. He just said, “Okay.”
Felicia was caught off guard, but honestly, she kind of wished he’d refused. At this point, she had no idea how to deal with Max. The last thing she wanted was to be alone with him, but it wasn’t like she had a choice.
She ended up spending the whole day at the estate with Luke. They played a few games, wandered around the courtyard, and soaked up the afternoon sun on the big lawn out back. The winter sun was soft and warm, making everything feel a little less heavy.
Luke showed up with a soccer ball and grinned. “Come on, play with me.”
Felicia shot him an epic eye roll. “Are you seriously?”
He nudged the ball to her feet. “Just kick it back to me,” he said, still smiling. Felicia looked down and realized she couldn’t even see the ball over her belly. Luke cracked up, laughing so hard he nearly doubled over.
Felicia glared at him, tempted to just kick the ball straight into his face, but she settled for a half-hearted pass. Up on the third floor, in front of the huge bedroom window that looked out over the lawn, a handsome man stood watching them. He didn’t say a word, just stared as they played.
Ava came over, set out Felicia’s slippers, and helped her back to the bedroom. “Hot water’s ready. Go relax in the bath.”
“Thanks,” Felicia said.
Inside the room, Felicia handed Ava a shopping bag. “This is from Miranda. A wedding gift for you and Dad.”
Miranda had asked her a couple of pointed questions earlier. Felicia knew exactly what had upset her. It wasn’t just that she hadn’t shown up yesterday, it was about respect. She could have skipped the event, but skipping the proper etiquette? That’s what the family really cared about.

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....
