The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 853
Felicia's groggy consciousness slowly returned. She realized she wasn't at the Ross family home, but she didn't argue. Sitting up slowly, she let Max help her out of the car.
"Mommy," Anne called out.
Felicia took her daughter's hand, and they walked toward the elevator. Max closed the car doors and followed the two of them.
He had already instructed the staff to draw a bath. "Go take a hot bath first," he told Felicia.
She nodded and headed straight to the bedroom. After her bath, she was just starting to dry her hair when the bathroom door opened. Felicia didn't react, simply keeping the hairdryer aimed at her damp locks.
Max stepped right up behind her and took the dryer from her hand. He adjusted the heat setting. "Let me."
Felicia let her hands drop, allowing him to take over. Her hair was thick and took time to dry completely. He worked meticulously, a comb in one hand and the dryer in the other. His technique was surprisingly skilled. Whenever he had the time, he was the one who dried Anne's hair after her baths, so the motions had become second nature to him.
The bathroom was perfectly still, filled only with the hum of the hairdryer. Ten minutes later, Max switched it off. "All done."
Felicia ran her fingers through her warm hair and stood up. "Thanks."
A faint smile touched his lips. "It's what I should do. You don't need to be so polite."
She gave him a brief look before walking out of the bathroom. Max followed close behind.
A maid happened to be bringing up a soothing bowl of warm honey milk meant to help with the hangover. Seeing them both, she bowed respectfully. "Sir, ma'am, the milk is ready."
Darin knew that. Having Anne by her side was the best way to keep her grounded. After a long moment of silence, Darin asked, "What are your actual intentions toward Felicia now?"
"I don't have any," Max said. "It's entirely up to her."
Darin didn't press further and ended the call. Max lowered his phone. The night breeze brushed against his face as he looked up at the endless, starless sky.
For the next two days, Felicia stayed at Oakridge Estate. Ava kept in touch with her and finally felt at ease knowing she was doing alright. Max had been incredibly busy lately, leaving early and returning late, so their paths rarely crossed. As for the chaos happening in the outside world, Felicia didn't bother to ask.
One morning, after dropping Anne off at kindergarten, she went straight to Roen Capital. The office staff was visibly stunned to see her. They hadn't seen Evelynn in quite some time. After her sudden medical leave, rumors had swirled that the internal corporate pressure had finally broken her, forcing her to quietly resign. Seeing her walk through the doors again was a shock, but they all greeted her warmly as usual.

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....
