The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 88
Darin stepped up and asked the woman about the previous owner. She sighed. “The last owner’s business went under. I heard the company went bankrupt and he had to sell this place last year to pay off debts.”
That news hit Darin hard. He immediately told someone to dig deeper, but Yvonne caught wind of it and shut the investigation down.
He turned to his mother, frustration simmering in his eyes. “Don’t I have the right to know how my own father and sister are doing?”
Yvonne’s face went cold. “And then what? Even if you find out, what difference does it make? You’re not a Ross anymore.”
A bitter smile tugged at Darin’s lips. “Oh, so I’m a Curtis now?”
The look he gave her made something ache in Yvonne’s chest. She couldn’t hide the pain in her eyes.
Back when she’d left with Darin, he was already fourteen. Once they settled in Northwick, he fought her every single day, desperate to go back. It took almost a year for him to finally calm down, but even after that, he tried running away more than once. Each time, she’d have people find him at the airport or the train station and bring him home.
She’d had no choice but to keep someone watching him all day, every day. Even now, she still had eyes on him.
Trying to soften things, Yvonne spoke gently. “Darin, it’s been so many years. Your father probably has a new family by now. If you really care about them, the best thing is just to leave them be.”
Darin let out a low, dry laugh. “Mom, you’re so cold. Why didn’t I inherit that from you?”
“Darin!”
Without another word, Darin turned and walked out. He opened the door and found Andrea standing right outside.
She flinched a little, startled by his stormy expression. “Hey….”
Darin glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He just brushed past and left.
Feeling miserable, she picked up her phone and called Max.
Meanwhile, Felicia was sprawled out on the sofa, half-watching TV. Her phone buzzed. Luke was calling, asking her to try out a mini game his company had just launched. They kept the call going while they played together online, Luke giving her tips and explaining the rules.
Felicia messed up almost immediately.
“I’m starting to think you were not that smart,” Luke teased her.
“Luke, are you trying to get smacked?”
As Max came downstairs, he could hear Felicia’s voice carrying through the house.

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....
