The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 896
"Savannah has not woken up yet," the nanny replied.
Felicia nodded and slowly made her way to the bathroom.
By the time she finished soaking in the tub and brushing her teeth, she felt significantly more clear-headed.
The nanny returned, handing over her tablet. "Madam, it is a video call from Mr. Hawthorne."
Felicia stared at the connection screen for a long, silent moment. Finally, she took the tablet and pressed accept.
The man's handsome face instantly appeared on the screen. He was reclining against his headboard, wearing a silk pajama top. The slightly open collar revealed tempting glimpses of his collarbones and muscular chest.
Seeing her, Max immediately asked, "How much did you drink last night?"
Felicia carried the tablet into the walk-in closet. "Not much."
She propped the device on her vanity and picked up a brush, beginning to run it through her hair. Through the screen, Max's deep, piercing gaze locked onto her. He watched her pristine side profile as the wooden brush glided smoothly down her long tresses, subtly exposing the delicate, graceful curve of her neck. Lower down, the faint swell of her chest was just visible beneath her collar.
"Not much, huh? Do you happen to remember what you said last night?" he prompted.
Hearing that, Felicia's brushing slowed to a halt. She truly could not recall the specific details of what she had said, but she vaguely remembered unleashing a furious string of curses at him. She whipped her head around, glaring sharply at the man on the screen. What was he trying to imply with that question?
Max watched the confusion and defensive wariness flare in her eyes. His thin lips curved into a barely perceptible smirk as he pushed further. "You really do not remember?"
"Are you spying on me?" Felicia fired back. She was fully aware that the nanny occasionally reported back to Max, though she had never cared much before. Right now, however, she had zero interest in answering his interrogations.
Seeing her sudden flare of anger, Max merely chuckled softly. "I would hardly call it spying. I just needed to make sure that someone with a will as easily shaken as yours would not immediately revert to a cold war the moment she went back home."
Felicia frowned deeply, staring at the man on the screen. His uncanny ability to see right through all her hidden emotions infuriated her. She sharply averted her gaze. "You speak as if you know me perfectly."
"I would say I know you well enough," Max replied smoothly.

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....
