The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 154
He just stood there, watching her stomp off, a cold, unreadable smile on his lips.
Felicia didn’t feel her anger start to fade until she was well past the front gate. In her head, she’d already cursed that jerk a thousand times. Finally, after a while, she managed to calm herself down and flagged down a taxi to head home.
The cab took her past the street near her old high school, the one lined with all those little food stalls. Her stomach rumbled. She hadn’t even eaten a proper dinner. On impulse, she told the driver to stop.
It had been ages since she’d walked down this street. She wondered if her favorite pho shop was still there. She followed the familiar sidewalk and, to her relief, the shop lights were still on. She went in and ordered a bowl of their spicy beef pho, just like she used to.
Her phone rang as she was waiting. She dug it out of her bag and saw Luke’s name on the screen.
“What are you up to? Didn’t you see my messages?” he asked.
“I didn’t, sorry. Let me check,” Felicia said.
She set her phone down, opened her messages, and saw he’d sent her a photo of a huge, fancy dinner, with a caption asking what she was eating tonight.
Luke had gone home for dinner, which meant he’d skipped Savannah’s get-together. Lately he’d been showing up at her place so often that he barely ate at his own. But tonight his mom, Rose, had insisted he come home.
Right then her pho arrived. She took a quick photo and sent it to him.
Luke replied in seconds. “No way. You went without me?”
Felicia laughed. “Didn’t you just have a feast? Isn’t that enough?”
“Nothing beats the pho you are having,” he said. “I’m coming over. Order me a big one. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
Before she could even reply, he’d hung up.
He didn’t push for details. They started chatting about random things while he finished his food. The shop was full of students, and the two of them definitely got their share of looks.
When Luke reached for his phone to pay, Felicia waved him off. “Already covered.”
He put his phone away, easy as ever. “Alright. Next time, it’s on me.”
They walked out together, and Felicia’s phone buzzed again. This time it was Jeremy. She suddenly remembered she’d promised he could pick her up, mostly because she didn’t want to ride with Tatiana’s driver. Oops.
“Sorry. I already left. I forgot to tell you,” she said.
“No worries. Are you home?”
“Not yet. I’m still out with Luke.”

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....
