The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 992
Felicia was about to end the call when Max's voice cut through again. "Where are you eating?"
His tone had softened considerably, no longer carrying its previous aggression. Even so, Felicia chose not to disclose her location, purely to prevent him from making a sudden, dramatic appearance.
After hanging up, she packed her things and stepped out of her office. Jeremy arrived just in time. "Ready to go?"
Felicia gave a soft hum of agreement.
A driver was already waiting for them downstairs. During the ride to the restaurant, Jeremy and Felicia discussed work matters for a while. Then, he casually asked, "How long is Max planning to crash at your place?"
"I'm not sure," Felicia replied. "But he probably can't stay much longer."
With all the urgent business waiting for him in New York, not to mention his domestic operations, he couldn't afford to vanish completely.
Jeremy nodded in understanding.
Halfway through the dinner, Felicia's phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen, and unsurprisingly, it was a call from Max. Whispering an apology to the table, she stood up and stepped out of the private dining room to answer.
"What is it?" she asked, keeping her tone perfectly neutral.
"I don't have any clean clothes to change into," Max stated.
Felicia took a deep, steadying breath. "You have nothing but free time right now. There's a mall nearby. You can go buy some yourself."
Her answer clearly left him thoroughly dissatisfied. "Have you ever seen a grown man go to a mall to buy clothes all by himself?"
Felicia's face hardened, but she forced herself to remain patient. "Then call someone to deliver them to you. I am busy right now."
"When does your dinner end?" Max pressed. "I'll come pick you up, and you can come shopping with me."
Felicia was utterly speechless.
Deciding it wasn't worth the effort to engage, she grabbed her purse and stood up to head toward the bedroom. Anne was probably already asleep. Just as she rose to her feet, the man spoke again.
"What will it take for you to remarry me?" His tone was incredibly serious.
Felicia froze in her tracks. She turned her head to look at him, her own voice carrying the same weight. "Max, marriage isn't a necessity for you. As for the Hawthorne family, I can never subject myself to them again. If you're only doing this for Anne, we can co-parent her. I will always be here to watch her grow up."
Max stood up, closing the distance between them. His piercing gaze locked onto hers. "How exactly do you plan to watch her grow up? Can you guarantee you won't remarry?"
Felicia's nerves pulled taut under his overwhelmingly dominant stare.
When she didn't offer an immediate, definitive answer, his face darkened dangerously. "Why are you hesitating? What's so hard to answer? Have you already decided to marry another man and have his children?"

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....
