The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 991
After the butler finished speaking, there was no response from the other end of the line. He could only feel the caller's breathing grow heavier and darker.
Max hung up the phone without another word.
The butler subsequently relayed the entire conversation to Miranda.
"Mrs. Tatiana Hawthornw's actions this time were truly inappropriate," the butler noted with deep concern. He had watched Max grow up. From childhood, Max had always possessed an exceedingly cold and detached nature.
When his beloved childhood dog of many years had suddenly died, Max's face hadn't shown a shred of sorrow. He had always been exceptionally brilliant in every field, sweeping countless prestigious international awards. Yet, in the face of applause and roaring cheers, he only ever offered a polite, indifferent response.
He was a man devoid of joy, anger, or grief.
It wasn't until little Anne came along that anyone finally sensed a trace of genuine human emotion within him. And now, for the first time ever, they were witnessing such overt, blazing fury.
All of it was because of Felicia.
Who could have imagined that the woman he had so deeply resented and despised years ago would now be the one he fiercely refused to let go? One had to marvel at the cruel irony of fate.
Miranda's face grew solemn. "I'm afraid he truly has developed deep feelings for Felicia."
"Then what if he insists on remarrying her?"
Miranda sighed heavily. "So be it. If he truly wants that, let him have his way."
Hope had called her the day before, specifically to discuss this exact matter. Nate had found out that Tatiana was the one who orchestrated the divorce, and he had furiously chewed her out. Her actions were entirely devoid of human decency. While her son was missing, a mother's first instinct was to divorce him from his wife just to prevent her from inheriting his estate.
Nate had even explicitly instructed the women of the Gilbert family to distance themselves from Tatiana. He had made sure to warn Rose specifically, fearing she might be corrupted by such behavior.
Around five o'clock, Jeremy told Felicia he was taking her to meet a client. He assured her she wouldn't have to host or entertain, and Felicia readily agreed. "Alright."
As her shift neared its end, Felicia called Max to give him a heads-up. "I have some business to attend to tonight, so I might be back a little late. Please let Anne know."
Max frowned deeply. "What business could you possibly have that requires Jeremy dragging you along?"
Hearing the edge in his voice, Felicia took a deep breath and patiently explained, "This is a very important client here in Cloudville. I'll be the one managing their account moving forward."
Silence followed her explanation. She didn't need to see his face to know exactly how dark his expression had become. "I'm going to hang up now."
"Where are you having dinner?" the man demanded.
Felicia hesitated for a second. Instead of answering, she simply said, "I'll be back as soon as I finish dinner. Just take good care of Anne."

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....
