The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 924
Just as Felicia raised her hand to knock, the door opened from the inside. Her hand froze in midair as she looked up at the man standing before her. His usually sharp, serious expression softened instantly. "Why are you not resting yet?"
Felicia lowered her hand. "I have something to tell you."
"I have some urgent matters to handle right now," Max replied softly. "We will talk when I get back. Go get some rest." He placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead, and then strode quickly out the door.
Felicia stood perfectly still in the hallway, remaining completely silent for a moment before turning back to the bedroom. When she woke the following day, the space beside her was empty. Max clearly had not returned the previous night. She got out of bed, washed up, and had breakfast. While packing her belongings and checking her bag for her ID and passport, she suddenly realized they were missing.
She did not even need to think about who had taken them. She grabbed her phone and immediately dialed Max's number. When the call connected, his exhausted, slightly raspy voice came through the speaker. "What is it?"
Hearing his tone, Felicia asked directly, "Did you take my passport?"
Max did not bother denying it. "Yes. Once I finish my work here, we will fly back together. Give me a week at most."
Felicia gripped her phone tighter. She had suspected that after going to such lengths to trick her into coming here, he would not let her leave so easily. But she never imagined he would brazenly confiscate her travel documents. Just as she opened her mouth to argue, the man gently cut her off.
"I am in the middle of a meeting right now. We will talk when I get back," Max said firmly.
"No, Luke was not around," Ava replied. "I tried calling him, so he probably did not even know what was happening. Either way, it is hard to say what the situation is right now."
Felicia did not press further. Although she did not know the exact history between Willa and Jeffrey, it was obvious Willa was the defenseless, weaker party, and Felicia could not help but feel sorry for her. However, this was ultimately an internal affair of the Manning family. As an outsider, it had nothing to do with her. She could only hope that Willa would remain safe. After chatting with Ava a little longer, she hung up the phone. Once she finished her work, she leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, scrolling through the latest international news.
By seven o'clock that evening, Max still had not returned. As she sat down for dinner, she asked the butler, "Does he come back this late every day?"
"Not every night," the butler replied respectfully. "Sometimes he returns around seven, but most of the time, Mr. Hawthorne does not get back until around ten o'clock."

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....
