The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 887
Her sobs gradually weakened until she went completely quiet. In the massive living room, only the sound of her heavy breathing could be heard. Felicia pulled away from his embrace, her voice hoarse and exhausted. "I am tired. I am going to bed."
Max gave a soft hum of agreement. "Get a good night sleep."
Felicia turned and walked back toward the bedroom.
Max remained rooted to the spot, watching her fragile silhouette until she disappeared through the doorway. Retracting his gaze, he strolled over to the sofa and sank heavily into the cushions. A large patch of his dress shirt was soaked with her tears. He stared blankly at the dark television screen, lost in a sea of unspoken thoughts.
Just then, his phone buzzed. Leaning forward, he picked it up from the coffee table, checked the caller ID, and pressed the answer button. "Hello."
He had seen Darin's missed calls earlier but had chosen not to return them. Darin had not reached out again until now. Hearing Max's voice, Darin stayed silent for a long moment before finally asking, "What are you busy with?"
Max ignored the question. "What is it?"
"I heard Anne was hospitalized," Darin said. "Is she doing better now?"
"She is fine," Max replied smoothly. "She was discharged today."
"That is good to hear."
After Darin's words, the line fell back into an uncomfortable silence.
Choosing not to pry any further, Darin finally said, "I will let you go, then."
Just as he was about to hang up, Max suddenly spoke. "I won."
Darin's grip on his phone tightened. "What do you mean by that?"
Max offered no explanation and simply ended the call. On the other end, Darin lowered his phone, his brow furrowing as he stared at the darkened screen.
Max sat in the living room for a little while longer before rising and heading to the bedroom. Felicia was just getting ready to lie down. In the center of the large bed, Anne was already fast asleep, looking incredibly peaceful. Felicia threw Max a brief glance before pulling back the covers, sliding into bed, and nestling close to their daughter.

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....
