The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 132
“There you go, Yara.” Her voice came out rough, still tinged with emotion.
“Max, what do you think of this one?” Andrea’s voice floated over again, light and casual.
Felicia’s fingers curled tight at her side. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Max walking in. She had known this might happen. Still, seeing it for herself sent a wave of anger and resentment crashing through her chest.
“Are you okay?” Yara tugged at her sleeve, worry in her eyes.
Felicia took a long breath, trying to steady herself. She managed a smile. “I’m fine, really.”
She led Yara over to the mirror and knelt down, smoothing out her dress. “Do you like it?”
Yara spun around, craning her neck to see the bow at the back, her eyes bright. “I love it,” she said, grinning wide.
Max heard their voices and glanced over. He watched as Felicia gently adjusted the girl’s dress, her gaze soft and full of affection.
Felicia stood up and, without meaning to, met Max’s dark eyes. She looked away, her face cool and unreadable, as if he were just another stranger in the store. She bent to take Yara’s hand and walked them over to the counter to pay.
Andrea noticed the whole thing. She saw how Max couldn’t seem to take his eyes off Felicia, and a strange sense of unease bubbled up inside her. Evelynn really did have a way of drawing men in.
“That’s Evelynn,” Andrea said, watching them. “Hard to believe her kid’s already that big.” Max’s face gave nothing away. He looked the same as always, impossible to read.
“Daddy, look at my shoes,” Anne called out. The saleswoman had just slipped a pair of red patent shoes onto her feet. Anne twirled, admiring them, completely oblivious to Felicia. Her view was blocked by a row of hanging clothes.
They made it down the escalator and outside, but Felicia just couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears started to spill down her cheeks.
Heather was startled. She rushed to support Felicia, her voice full of worry. “Felicia, what happened? Are you alright?”
“Please don’t cry!” Yara pleaded, her voice small and scared.
Felicia couldn’t speak at first. It took her a while to choke out, “I need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back.”
When Felicia finally came out, her eyes were red, but the storm inside her had settled. She looked calm again, collected, ready to keep going.

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....
