The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1029
Felicia was jolted awake by her ringing phone. Irritated, she swiped to answer. "Hello?"
Hearing the raw exhaustion in her voice, Darin quickly apologized. "Felicia, were you sleeping? Are you feeling unwell?" It was long past normal napping hours.
"What is it?" she asked flatly.
"Nothing major. Just wanted to see how you're doing."
"If that's all, I'm hanging up," she said, her impatience palpable.
Realizing she was simply grumpy from being woken up, and unable to gauge if she had seen the news, Darin decided not to push it. "Get some rest, Felicia."
The call ended. Felicia lay in bed with her eyes closed, but sleep had abandoned her entirely. Sighing, she threw off the covers and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Later that evening, Jeremy called. The corporate headquarters was hosting their standard executive conference, and all branch directors were required to present their reports in the Capital. It meant she had to fly back. She certainly wasn't going to demand special treatment, so she agreed. After wrapping up the professional details, Jeremy didn't linger on personal matters. Felicia booked a flight for the day after tomorrow and informed Anne.
The next afternoon, while assigning tasks to her assistant, Felicia received a call from Anne.
"What is it, sweetheart?"
A choked, sobbing voice came through the speaker. "Mommy, Grandma says Great-Grandpa wants to see me one last time. I can't fly back to the Capital with you anymore."
Hearing Anne cry made Felicia's chest tighten painfully. She wanted to comfort her, but the words caught in her throat. It seemed Brysen truly was at the end of his life. Since Anne wore a smartwatch with a built-in tracker, it was no surprise the Hawthorne family had easily located her.
"It's okay, sweetheart. Go back and spend time with Great-Grandpa," Felicia said softly.
Anne let out a tearful sniffle and agreed.
After hanging up, Felicia sat in absolute silence for a long time.
"Are you alright, Evelynn?" her assistant asked with concern.
"Sounds good."
After dinner, Felicia dutifully took her prescribed medication. She turned on a comedy movie in the living room, the two cats curled up peacefully beside her. Mabel sat nearby, laughing heartily at the screen. But when Mabel glanced over, she froze. Felicia's face was completely blank, stripped of any emotion.
"Felicia?" Mabel called out nervously.
Felicia turned to her, managing a faint smile. "Yes?"
"Is something on your mind?"
"Just a little tired from work. I'm going to turn in."
"Oh, yes, go wash up and get some sleep," Mabel urged quickly. "You have a flight to catch tomorrow."
"Mhm."

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....
