The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 220
Felicia laughed quietly, her eyes sparkling. “I guess I’ll have to work extra hard just to keep up.”
Jeremy grinned. “Let’s hope you’re not just saying that to make me happy.”
Before Felicia could respond, her phone started buzzing in her bag. She didn’t even need to check the screen to know who it was.
“Anne?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia nodded.
Jeremy got to his feet. “It’s late. Take your call and get some rest. Don’t let anything bother you tonight.”
“Alright,” Felicia replied softly.
Jeremy left the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Felicia took a moment to steady herself before answering. As soon as the call connected, a little voice burst through.
“Evelynn!”
Hearing her daughter’s cheerful, innocent voice, Felicia felt all the tension in her body melt away. Warmth filled her chest.
“Hi,” she replied, gentler than before.
They talked for nearly twenty minutes before saying goodbye. Anne was staying at the old Hawthorne family estate, surrounded by family members to look after her.
Felicia set her phone aside and headed to the bathroom. After a long, hot shower, she slipped into a robe and stepped back into the room just as someone knocked at the door.
She opened it, surprised to see Gavin standing there. “Gavin?”
He looked her up and down, his gaze lingering as if checking for any sign of trouble. “Evelynn, are you alright?”
Felicia offered a small smile. “I’m fine.”
He probably heard something.
“Did you get into it with Max’s girlfriend?” Gavin asked, dropping his voice conspiratorially.
Felicia raised an eyebrow, lips curving. “It’s late, Gavin. Save the gossip for tomorrow.”
He crossed paths with Gavin and Max in the hallway. Jeremy didn’t slow down, but Gavin called out to him.
“Mr. Milman, is Evelynn alright?”
Gavin must have overheard Jeremy on the phone.
Jeremy’s voice was cool. “It’s nothing serious.”
He walked off without waiting for a reply.
Gavin watched him go, then glanced at Max. “Do you think he’s got feelings for Evelynn?”
Max shrugged. “What do you think?”
Gavin looked back in the direction Jeremy had disappeared. “My gut says he does. But Evelynn told me he’s just her boss. That means she doesn’t feel the same way, right?”
Max smirked. “Or maybe she’s got too many options and can’t make up her mind.”

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....
