The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 864
Felicia paused, completely bewildered by the question. He had just woken up. What else could he possibly be doing?
"How should I know?" she replied, not in the mood for guessing games.
Max let out a long, heavy exhale over the phone. Felicia instantly caught the strange, thick undertone in his voice, and her expression shifted. "You..."
A low, dark chuckle rumbled in Max's chest, his voice dropping into a seductive, gravelly rasp. "I'm thinking about having a very deep, intimate exchange with you."
In an instant, Felicia's face burned crimson. Without a second of hesitation, she hung up the phone.
She sat there with a dark expression, taking several long moments to calm her racing heart. What on earth had possessed Max to say something so shamelessly provocative? She tossed her phone aside in frustration.
Thousands of miles away, Max stared at his phone screen, easily picturing Felicia's furious, blushing face. He let out a soft, amused laugh, set his phone down, and hauled himself out of bed to take a freezing cold shower.
Over the next few days, Felicia took the time to settle in properly. She wasn't entirely idle, of course. In the evenings, she reviewed the local operations to familiarize herself with the business. The workload wasn't overwhelming, so she felt confident she could manage it smoothly. The most critical project for the Cloudville branch at the moment was their collaboration with Darin's company.
She also visited a few of the city's famous tourist spots to relax. Being in a completely unfamiliar environment felt incredibly freeing. She went shopping alone, took pictures alone, and ate meals alone. She spent hours sitting in a cafe, sipping coffee and watching the light drizzle fall outside. Listening to the steady rhythm of the rain, she felt no anxiety or unease, only an indescribable sense of peace and relaxation. She had muted all notifications on her phone. Right now, she just wanted to savor this quiet solitude.
When she returned to the apartment that evening, she saw a message from Darin. He had put together a detailed travel guide for her, complete with recommendations for local street food and hidden gems. He mentioned he had personally visited all these places during his previous trips to Cloudville; it seem as though he had traveled here in advance specifically to create this itinerary for her.
Even though she never replied, Darin continued to send her messages every single day. Felicia read every single one of them.
Aside from Darin, there was also Max. Felicia hadn't even bothered to open his chat window.
She was just about to call Anne to show her the bear plushie she had bought for her today. But before she could even dial the number, Max called. Felicia stared at the caller ID on the screen and promptly rejected the call.
A second later, he called back.
Frowning, Felicia finally answered. "Max, are you always this annoying?"
Felicia gripped her phone a little tighter. She had told him to take a month to think things through, but it seemed he hadn't spent a single second reflecting on anything.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," she warned.
"Don't you have time for a quick chat? Like, for instance, explaining why you haven't replied to my messages? If we don't clear this up, you'll just ignore me again the next time I text you."
Felicia closed her eyes and took a deep, steadying breath. "Depends on my mood."
With that, she pulled the phone away from her ear and ended the call, a sudden wave of inexplicable irritation washing over her.
A moment later, a new message from Max popped up on her screen. [Remember to reply to my messages when you're in a better mood.]
Felicia stared at her phone, utterly speechless.

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....
