The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 857
Felicia nodded in agreement. "Let's go."
Anne beamed with delight. "Yay!"
After saying goodbye to Heather and Yara, Felicia took Anne's small hand and guided her into the car. They made the smooth drive toward the towering BlueMarble Investments building.
By now, absolutely everyone in the company knew that Evelynn was Mr. Hawthorne's wife. The receptionists greeted the mother-daughter duo with overwhelming respect. Thanks to facial recognition, Anne simply walked up to the private elevator, and the doors glided open for them.
"Daddy!"
Max was deep in a stack of paperwork. He hadn't been expecting them, but the moment his cold, sharp gaze landed on his daughter, his features softened instantly. His eyes shifted to Felicia walking in behind her, and he quietly set his fountain pen aside.
Anne bypassed the massive desk and ran straight to him. Max scooped her up, settling her comfortably on his lap. Raising a thumb, he gently wiped a smudge of frosting from the corner of her mouth, his voice dripping with affection. "Look at you, you little mess."
Anne flashed her bright white teeth. "Mommy bought cake for you too, Daddy!"
Max glanced over as Felicia held out the small bakery bag. He took it from her hand. "What flavor?"
"Blueberry," Felicia answered.
"Did you have some?" he asked.
"Anne barely ate any of hers."
Max set Anne back down on her feet, pulled the small cake from the bag, and unwrapped the wooden spoon. He scooped up a bite. Seeing Anne staring up at him with eager eyes, he chuckled softly. "Want some?"
She shook her head. "Daddy can have it."
Max hadn't actually planned on giving her any more sweets, so he popped the bite into his own mouth.
"Is it yummy, Daddy?" she asked, tilting her head.
Max was unbuttoning his dress shirt, preparing for a shower. He didn't stop when she entered, simply asking, "Is Anne asleep?"
"Yes," Felicia said, her tone perfectly even. "There's something I want to talk to you about."
His fingers paused on a button. "Let's talk in a bit. I have something to discuss with you as well."
She offered a quiet nod. Max stripped off his clothes right in front of her, fully exposing his sculpted, heavily muscled physique. Felicia simply walked over to the sofa, picked up a book, and began to flip through the pages.
He threw her a brief, unreadable glance before stepping into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Max emerged wearing a navy silk robe. The collar hung loosely open, revealing the hard lines of his chest, his entire body radiating a damp, warm heat.
Felicia looked up as he walked over, rubbing his damp hair with a towel. He took a seat opposite her. She closed her book and set it aside. "Do you want to go first, or should I?"

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....
