The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 205
Nate frowned, already guessing why he was here. “Let him in.”
A moment later, Max walked into the living room. He stepped up to Nate. “Mr. Gilbert.”
Nate barely looked at him, his mood obvious. “What do you want?”
Max stood off to the side, humble and polite. “My mom acted impulsively. I’m here to apologize on her behalf, Mr. Gilbert.”
Tatiana had called Max earlier about the whole mess, though she didn’t think she’d actually done anything wrong. She even complained that Nate was overreacting, making a fuss over Evelynn as if she was more than just an acquaintance. Of course, Tatiana only dared to say these things to her son, never around Miranda or Hope.
Nate snorted. “Was it your mom’s mistake, or yours?”
Max didn’t argue. “It was my fault.”
Nate studied him for a second. Max’s attitude was perfect, almost too perfect. Nate knew this kid—he looked sincere, but no one knew what he really felt.
Nate said quietly, “I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.”
Later, when Felicia finished making dinner, she walked into the living room. She stopped short when she saw Max. What was he doing here again? At this point, she was starting to wonder if this jerk was following her.
Max turned, meeting her eyes. He stood up and started walking toward her.
Felicia felt herself tense up as he got closer. His presence was hard to ignore. She wanted to step back, but forced herself to stay put. This was Nate’s house, after all. She wasn’t alone.
Max stopped just one step away. The light behind him made him look even taller, his shadow falling over her.
Felicia’s fingers curled into a fist as she watched him. He spoke quietly. “About your show getting pulled from the station, I’m sorry. If you want anything to make up for it, just tell me.”
Felicia blinked, realizing why he was here. So, it’s about Tatiana stopping her show. But she knew better than to trust the man in front of her. His apology sounded nice, but she knew it was empty.
Max just nodded and didn’t argue.
Felicia followed Nate into the dining room. Over dinner, Nate asked, “So it’s not just this incident that’s bothering you, is it?”
Felicia shook her head. “I don’t want to talk about him. It’ll just ruin the meal.”
Nate laughed. “Alright, we won’t. But if that guy ever gives you trouble, tell me right away.”
Felicia smiled. “I will.”
Nate kept complimenting her cooking. After dinner, Felicia stayed with him for a while. By the time she left the Gilbert house, it was already past seven and the sky was growing dark.
She walked to the parking lot in the courtyard. There, she spotted a man leaning against her car, a cigarette between his fingers. He stood with one knee bent, the night breeze playing with his hair and highlighting the sharp angles of his profile. The last light of the sunset touched his shoulders, making him look effortlessly cool and almost dangerously handsome.

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....
