So this lady was definitely Andrea’s mother. She radiated a kind of elegance and power you just don’t see every day.
Felicia’s eyes drifted to Max, who stood quietly behind them. He’d rushed off this morning, and now she understood why. He was spending the day with his future mother-in-law. Max looked right back at her, his expression calm, almost indifferent. Felicia quickly looked away, her mood sinking even lower.
Yvonne didn’t stick around to chat. She barely glanced at Felicia before following the manager into the VIP room. Andrea linked arms with her mom and called out, “Let’s go.”
Savannah gently helped Felicia as they walked past Max.
Darin turned, watching Felicia move slowly, one hand pressed to her back. He glanced at Max. “She’s due soon, right?”
Max made a quiet sound of agreement.
Andrea called them from the other room, so Darin dropped it and headed inside with Max.
Once they stepped out of the store, Savannah let out a long sigh. “This city is huge, but somehow I keep bumping into people I’d rather not see. Maybe I really do need to pray for better luck.”
Felicia laughed softly. “Hey, it can’t hurt. Maybe you’ll get some good vibes for next year.”
“Actually, I should ask Mr. Milman for a half day off. I’ll make a wish for you too.”
“That’s sweet of you, Savannah. Thanks.”
They kept the conversation light, both of them silently agreeing not to bring up anything or anyone that might ruin the mood.
They had dinner at the mall, and afterward Felicia said her goodbyes and headed home.
Felicia couldn’t hold it together anymore. She started to cry, the sound raw and helpless. Ava’s own eyes grew red, and she gently patted Felicia on the back.
“It’s going to be alright. We’ll get through this. Someday you’ll be strong enough to fight for your child.”
Ava didn’t really believe it, but she said it anyway. Felicia held onto those words like a lifeline. She knew Ava was right. Even if the odds were slim, she wasn’t about to give up.
The next few days passed in a blur. Every morning, the live-in doctor came by to check on Felicia, and a nutritionist handled all her meals. Ava didn’t have to cook anymore.
Max was home most nights, but he and Felicia barely crossed paths. It was obvious he was busy, especially with the year coming to an end. Still, that didn’t stop him from making time for Andrea.
From what the doctor said, Felicia wasn’t allowed to go out on her own anymore. She was stuck at home, waiting for everything to change.

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....
