The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 113
The project’s main office was in another city, which meant she’d have to travel out of town for work.
Felicia gripped her club and said, “It’s my first project since coming back home. There’s no way I’m letting it flop.” She sent the ball flying with a confident swing.
If anyone else had said that, Jeremy might have been skeptical. But with Felicia, he didn’t doubt her for a second.
“I’ll be waiting to hear your good news,” he said.
They started walking together, chatting as they headed down the fairway.
A little ways off, Luke stood watching them. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice Savannah coming up beside him until she nudged him with her shoulder.
“What are you staring at, Luke?” Savannah asked, grinning.
He tore his gaze away from Felicia and gave Savannah a small, sheepish smile.
Savannah couldn’t help but roll her eyes affectionately. She’d known what was in his heart five years ago. Even then, Luke had been all about Felicia, but he’d always kept his distance and respected her boundaries. That told Savannah everything she needed to know about his character.
They’d grown up together, and honestly, she thought they made a pretty great match.
She glanced ahead at Felicia and Jeremy. Although now that she thought about it, Felicia and Jeremy looked pretty cute together too.
“Are you getting jealous?” Savannah teased, nudging Luke again.
He laughed. “What would I be jealous about? There’s nothing going on between Felicia and Jeremy.”
Savannah smirked. “Max still hasn’t divorced her, you know. She’s technically still his wife. You’ve got a lot of waiting ahead, my friend.” She gave his shoulder a reassuring pat.
That was exactly why Luke never dared to make a move. He could tell Felicia’s heart was completely focused on her work these days. That train wreck of a marriage with Max must have hurt her a lot.
He’d waited this long. What was a little more time?
After their round of golf, the group decided to play some tennis indoors.
As they rode the shuttle back to the courts, Savannah glanced out and spotted a familiar figure on another course. Her eyes narrowed as she recognized Max and Andrea together.
“Isn’t that Max?” Savannah muttered.
Andrea had just scored a point and turned around to high-five Max.
Max spotted him first. Jeremy walked up, his tone polite but distant. “Mr. Hawthorne. Didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Mr. Milman,” Max replied, just as cool.
Jeremy nodded. There was nothing else to say. “Well, I won’t keep you.”
He headed off toward the tennis courts.
When Jeremy got there, he noticed Felicia wasn’t around. The others were chatting with the editor-in-chief of a financial magazine and Mr. Reyes from a securities firm. The two older ladies with them seemed to be senior executives.
“Where’s Felicia?” Jeremy asked, looking around.
Anthony answered, “She’s outside with Colt, talking business.”
Colt was the president of the financial magazine, and the one who’d headhunted Felicia to be their editor-in-chief.
Outside, Felicia and Colt were strolling by the edge of the court, deep in conversation. Every now and then, Felicia let out a soft laugh. They looked completely at ease, enjoying each other’s company.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
