The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 160
She brushed past him with long, quick strides, desperate to put some distance between them. If she had to talk to this infuriating man for even one more second, she was sure she would explode.
Out of nowhere, his voice called after her. “Evelynn, do you know someone named Felicia?”
The words hit her like a punch. Her heart squeezed tight, panic prickling along her spine. She forced herself to stay calm, took a slow breath, then turned just enough to look at him. Her gaze was flat, her voice icy. “Do you need me to repeat myself? There’s nothing for us to talk about.”
She didn’t give him a chance to reply. She kept moving, her footsteps quick and determined. Only when she was farther away did she slow, pressing a hand to her chest to steady her breathing. Was he starting to figure things out? Max’s question meant he’d been digging into her background. Jeremy had tweaked her files back then. She had thought it was just a precaution. After all, joining Roen Capital shouldn’t have brought her anywhere near Max. He was still hopelessly devoted to Andrea. She’d never heard any gossip about him with other girls.
Now, she couldn’t believe how often they’d run into each other since she got back. And for some reason, he seemed intent on making her life difficult. Maybe she and Max were just destined not to get along. Even with a new identity, nothing had really changed.
She gave herself a moment to cool off, then walked toward the main house’s living room.
At lunch, only Nate, Hope, Max, Felicia, and the two kids sat around the table. Anne insisted on sitting right next to Felicia.
Hope glanced at the two of them and smiled. “Anne really likes you, Evelynn.”
Felicia just returned the smile, playing along. Hope didn’t know who she really was.
Anne piped up, “It’s because Evelynn is so nice.”
With the two elders and the kids’ laughter filling the room, the whole atmosphere was warm and easy.
After lunch, Felicia stood to say goodbye to Nate and Hope. Anne looked reluctant but knew Felicia had work to do and didn’t try to keep her there. Felicia hugged Anne goodbye, never once glancing in Max’s direction or acknowledging him at all. She just turned and left.
Nate watched them go, frowning a little. The tension between those two was impossible to miss.
By the time he got to his car, Felicia was already gone.
Felicia drove through the city, stopping at a red light with her window half open.
That’s when a familiar car rolled up beside hers. She glanced over without thinking and saw him behind the wheel. She hit the button and her window slid up.
When the light turned green, she floored the gas pedal and shot forward. The Bentley behind her quickly pulled ahead, switched lanes, and cut in front of her. At the next intersection, another red light. The Bentley stopped short.
Felicia slammed on her brakes.
There was a sharp thud as her car bumped into his.

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....
