The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1043
The car slowed to a halt outside the grand iron gates of Hawthorne Manor. Felicia sat quietly in the backseat for a long time before finally gathering the strength to push the door open and step out.
Just then, another vehicle emerged from the manor grounds. The occupants spotted her and immediately hit the brakes. Amber and Wyatt stepped out of the luxury sedan and walked over to greet her.
Amber approached with a warm but perceptive smile, clearly noticing the lingering redness around Felicia's eyes. "Felicia, are you here to see Anne?"
Felicia nodded, her voice still sounding a bit hoarse. "How is she doing?"
"She is doing alright," Amber reassured her. "Mandy is keeping her company right now."
"That is good to hear," Felicia replied softly. "I came to bring her home."
Amber hesitated for a moment. "Anne is actually spending time with her great-grandma right now. Maybe you could wait a couple of days to pick her up. It would line up perfectly with the start of her new school year."
Felicia's expression instantly darkened at the mention of the delay. Sensing the sudden shift in her mood, Amber frowned in concern. "What is wrong? Did you and Max have a fight?"
Felicia ignored the question entirely. "I am going to see Anne first."
Amber quickly fell into step beside her. "I will come with you."
Felicia gave a brief nod but remained silent as they walked through the courtyard toward the main house. Wyatt leaned against his car, choosing to stay behind and wait.
Half an hour later, Amber escorted Felicia back out of the manor. Felicia bid them both a quiet farewell.
"Take care of yourself," Amber told her gently. "I will call you on the first day of school."
The private elementary school they had chosen for Anne was the same one Mandy and Randy attended. Felicia agreed to the arrangement. Since Anne was currently busy comforting Miranda, they had decided Felicia would take her to school on opening day instead. With that settled, Felicia climbed back into her car and departed.
As they drove back into the city, Wyatt glanced over at his wife. "Did Felicia and Max get into another argument?"
Amber let out a heavy sigh. "It certainly looked that way. Max really is not cut out for marriage. He should have just stayed single. If the family had not forced them to tie the knot back then, I doubt he ever would have settled down or had kids. Anne truly is a gift from God for a man like him."
The late-night spot was absolutely packed with exhausted office workers grabbing a bite after their overtime shifts. There was no room left inside, leaving only a few plastic tables on the sidewalk.
"Let's sit out here," Wyatt suggested, pulling out a flimsy chair.
Wyatt pulled a pack of antibacterial wipes from his pocket, tossed one to Max, and used another to thoroughly wipe down his own chair and the greasy table. Max stared at the moist towelette in his hand with visible disgust.
Wyatt shot him a judgmental look. "You are a grown man. Stop being such a snob about a little dirt."
Reluctantly, Max wiped down his stool. In truth, the establishment was relatively clean. The tables had been recently cleared, though they still bore the lingering signs of previous patrons.
Wyatt scanned the QR code on the table to pull up the menu. "Pick whatever you want. It is my treat."
Max took the phone from him with a dry smirk. "How incredibly generous of you."

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....
