The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 9
Knock, knock, knock.
“Felicia, your dad and Greg are back,” Ava called from outside the door.
Felicia put down her photo album and got up to head out. As soon as she saw them walk in, her face lit up. “Dad, Greg!”
Greg and Colton both looked over at her, smiling.
“Felicia, I brought you a present. Come here. Open it up!” Greg said, waving her over.
Felicia hurried over with curiosity. “What is it?”
Greg set a bunch of shopping bags on the coffee table, then pulled out a jewelry box and handed it to her. “Here.”
She opened the box and gasped a little. Inside was a beautiful gold bracelet, so delicately made it sparkled in the light. “Thank you, Greg. I love it.”
“That’s all I wanted,” Greg said, grinning as he ruffled her hair.
He hadn’t forgotten Ava either. He gave her a gold bracelet that matched her style, and he’d brought skincare sets for both ladies. For Colton, there was tea, a nice bottle of liquor, and some local treats from his trip. The whole room felt extra cozy just then, everyone relaxed and happy.
Felicia always felt her best at home, like she could finally breathe.
“Felicia, when’s your due date?” Greg asked, glancing at her belly. She really did look like she could be ready to deliver any day now.
“Still got two more months to go,” Felicia replied.
“I’m calling it now, you’re definitely having a girl,” Ava said with a laugh.
Lately, Greg had been busy with the tech company he started with a friend. Two years ago, when they were just getting started, Colton had given Greg the seed money without a second thought. Now the company was doing great, working mainly in AI. The reason for Greg’s recent trip had been to sign a big partnership agreement, and it all went smoothly.
Meanwhile, Colton was in the middle of selling off his own company. The money from the Hawthornes had helped for a while, but the market was tough and making a comeback just wasn’t possible. He was getting older, didn’t have the energy he used to, so he decided to sell and put everything he had into Greg’s company when it started raising money at the end of the year.
Then Colton shared some good news. He and Ava were finally going to get married.
Ava’s eyes went shiny with tears. After all those years together, she was finally getting her happy ending.
Felicia had no complaints. She knew her dad had never married Ava because he couldn’t let go of her mom. She never really understood why her mom left him in the first place. But none of that mattered anymore.
It was such a perfect day. Felicia just couldn’t bring herself to ruin it.

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....
