The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 151
Max looked resigned as he rubbed his forehead. “You’ve already said yes, so there’s nothing else for me to add.”
Tatiana nodded, thoughtful. “Maybe that’s for the best. I’m curious about this Evelynn. Anne only met her once, and she already likes her so much. Andrea’s always been good to her, but I’ve never heard Anne ask to bring anyone home for dinner.”
“I’ll leave the details to you,” Max said.
The next day, Felicia’s phone rang with an unfamiliar number. She hesitated before answering. “Hello? Who’s this?”
There was a brief pause, then Anne’s bright voice came through. “Evelynn!”
Felicia’s eyes widened in surprise. “Anne?”
Anne sounded excited and just a little shy. “Are you free tonight, Evelynn? I was hoping we could have dinner together.”
Felicia paused, remembering how Max had asked for her contact info yesterday. It wouldn’t have been hard for him to find her number. She really didn’t want to see Max, but with Anne’s hopefulness ringing in her ears, she couldn’t bring herself to say no.
In the end, she agreed.
Anne hung up, sounding absolutely delighted. Right after, Felicia received a text with a location and a note that someone would pick her up.
She was supposed to go to a dinner Savannah had organized that night, but she ended up canceling.
Around five thirty, Felicia arrived at the address she’d been given. A sleek, understated car rolled up. The driver stepped out and opened the door for her.
She got in.
Thirty minutes later, the car pulled into the underground lot of a private restaurant.
Felicia took the elevator up, her nerves a mess of anticipation and anxiety.
The waiter opened the door to a private dining room.
The seat was right next to Max. He didn’t say a word, just sat there quietly, but Felicia could feel the pressure of his presence. She wanted to be anywhere else but here, but at that moment, she had no choice.
Tatiana settled Anne into a high chair, her eyes full of affection for her granddaughter. Every time she looked at Anne, her gaze softened with love, but the moment she glanced at Felicia, all that warmth faded, replaced by something cold and scrutinizing.
Tatiana waved a waiter over. “Evelynn, please order anything you’d like.”
Felicia just picked two simple dishes, and the waiter got her some water.
Anne looked up at her. “Are you really busy at work every day, Evelynn?”
Felicia kept her voice gentle. “I’ve been pretty busy lately.”
Tatiana spoke up. “Evelynn, are you mainly working at the TV station now?” She kept asking about Felicia’s job and her education, her questions polite but sharp, every word sounding like it was meant to dig a little deeper.
With Anne in the room, Tatiana kept her tone mild, but Felicia still felt like she was being put on trial.

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....
