The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 114
Just then, a group appeared in front of them.
Felicia glanced up and spotted Max and Kennedy walking over with a few others.
When Colt saw Max, he strode up and greeted him. “Mr. Hawthorne, what a surprise to see you here.”
They shook hands.
“Hello, Colt,” Max replied.
The two shared a few polite words.
Max’s eyes shifted to Felicia. She met his gaze, her expression calm and collected.
Colt quickly made the introductions. “This is Evelynn, our magazine’s new editor-in-chief.” He looked to Felicia, “And this is Mr. Hawthorne, from BlueMarble Investments.”
Evelynn was Felicia’s alias.
Felicia offered a small, courteous smile and nodded. “Mr. Hawthorne.”
Max gave a soft grunt in response.
After saying goodbye, Max’s group kept walking toward the tennis courts.
As Andrea walked past Felicia, their eyes briefly met. It lasted only a moment, but Felicia’s instincts sent a clear message. Andrea did not like her.
Felicia’s lips curled into a barely-there, mocking smile. Andrea had been eyeing her warily the whole time she greeted Max. For someone who was so doted on by Max, Andrea didn’t seem very secure.
Felicia didn’t dwell on it.
Colt started chatting about Max, explaining how he was a major player in the financial world and would inevitably be a subject for future interviews and features.
By the time they got back to the tennis courts, Jeremy and Colt’s group had already started a mixed doubles match.
Max and Kennedy were playing with their own crew on a neighboring court.
Luke and Savannah had teamed up and were playing against Anthony and a lady from Colt’s company.
Jeremy and Mr. Reyes were taking a break.
Felicia and Colt walked over to join them.
Colt greeted Jeremy, and after a quick catch-up, he noticed Max’s group. “Should we invite Mr. Hawthorne and his friends to join us?” he suggested.
Since Colt had already brought it up, Jeremy just nodded. Mr. Reyes went over to ask.
Kennedy agreed right away, and Max didn’t object.
Everyone found their spots on the court.
Max served, and the game got underway.
Right from the start, both sides played hard, neither giving an inch.
Every time Max or Jeremy hit the ball, there was a sharp, competitive edge, like they were determined to outdo each other.
The people watching barely spoke, completely drawn in by the charged atmosphere.
Andrea held her own on the court.
After two sets, the score was tied.
In the third set, Felicia moved up to the net. Andrea sent a high ball her way, clearly getting tired. Sensing her chance, Felicia jumped and smashed the ball down with force. It hit the ground and spun wildly.
“Andrea!” someone called out.
Andrea seemed to snap back to attention, but she was too late. The ball bounced up and smacked her right in the face.
“Ah!”

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....
