The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1016
The call connected. "What do you want?" the man asked.
Darin stared out the car window. "Just checking in on you."
"Do I look like I need your concern?" Max retorted.
"No, I suppose you don't," Darin mused. "You need someone else's concern."
"Spit it out. What exactly do you want?" Max demanded. Judging by his tone, he was clearly in a foul mood.
Darin chuckled. "People with massive tempers tend to age much faster. You aren't exactly a young pup anymore, you know."
Max hung up immediately.
Darin let out a low laugh and typed out a quick text message to Max: Andrea is currently recovering in New York.
Andrea was a woman who had never been denied anything she wanted in her entire life. Growing up in such an environment and then suffering such a massive blow to her ego, it was highly unlikely she would simply accept defeat and stay quiet.
Although Max and Felicia's divorce had not been made public, and only the Ross and Hawthorne families knew the truth, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Someone would inevitably contact Andrea and start whispering in her ear.
After the message was delivered, Max did not reply. Darin did not care. As long as Max knew what to expect, that was enough.
Darin planned to stay in Northwick for a while, conveniently handling his business affairs in the city. He visited the hospital to see Yvonne, who had since been moved to a private VIP ward. The woman resting in the bed was a far cry from the radiant, domineering figure she once was.
Upon seeing Darin, Yvonne remained surprisingly calm. Darin sat quietly in a chair beside the bed, peeling an apple with a paring knife while the nurse carefully fed Yvonne her breakfast. The room was blanketed in heavy silence. Darin methodically sliced the peeled apple into neat pieces and arranged them on a small plate.
"How is Felicia doing these days?" Yvonne suddenly asked, her voice weak and breathless.
"Max doesn't feel a shred of affection for Andrea," Yvonne argued. "What could she possibly do to him?"
Darin's voice dropped into a dark, foreboding register. "Then perhaps you've forgotten that Holden is also in New York?"
Yvonne's face instantly went deathly pale. Just then, Darin's phone buzzed with an incoming call from his company. Without bothering to explain further, he answered the call and strode out of the hospital room.
Yvonne stared at his retreating back. The emotional rift between them was glaring. After raising him for so many years, his heart had ultimately never belonged to her. In that moment, she felt completely drained, her entire body aching with an indescribable exhaustion. Was this truly her karma catching up to her?
Sensing her distress, the nurse quickly tried to comfort her. "Mrs. Curtis, please mind your health. Mr. Foxhall surely still cares for you deep down. Blood is thicker than water, nothing can change that."
Yvonne closed her eyes wearily. "Take my phone and call my daughter."
"Right away, ma'am."

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
