The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 221
Gavin looked over at Max, a little confused. “I don’t know. Evelynn doesn’t really seem like that kind of person. Are you saying this just because she doesn’t get along with your girlfriend?”
Max shrugged. “She’s not even worth my opinion. Just watch yourself around her.”
Gavin laughed. “You really don’t like her, huh? Don’t be so harsh. Honestly, if I did fall for her, I wouldn’t even mind.”
Max smirked. “Since when did you turn into the good guy?”
“I’ve always wanted to be a good guy,” Gavin shot back with a grin.
Max just smiled, not saying anything for a second, then added, “Just so you know, she’s not exactly single or childless.”
Gavin didn’t seem surprised. “Yeah, when I was trying to get to know her, she mentioned she was married. But from what I heard, her husband’s a jerk. Doesn’t treat her right at all. Evelynn’s gorgeous and has such a great vibe. If her husband doesn’t see that, he’s either blind or just plain dumb.”
While Gavin kept talking, he didn’t notice the way Max’s face darkened beside him.
Gavin only knew bits and pieces, mostly from Heather. He’d met Heather through Felicia, and when he tried asking Heather about Felicia, she ended up venting to him instead.
“It’s too bad I didn’t meet Evelynn sooner,” Gavin said, almost to himself. “Maybe she wouldn’t have ended up with that loser. Girls who’ve been hurt need someone to look out for them.”
He glanced over at Max and finally noticed his stormy expression. “Hey, Max, are you okay?”
Max just gave him a cold sneer and walked off.
Gavin was left standing there, completely lost.
Meanwhile, Jeremy showed up at Felicia’s door.
She opened it, looking pale and exhausted.
Jeremy hurried to help her over to the bed, then poured her a glass of warm water. “The doctor’s coming soon,” he said gently.
Felicia took the glass, sipping slowly, her hands trembling a little.
Jeremy reached out to check her forehead. “You’ve got a fever.”
He took the glass from her. “Just lie down and rest.”
A little while later, the doctor came in to check on Felicia.
Her temperature was up, a solid 101.7.
The doctor gave her a shot to help with the fever and wrote out two prescriptions.
Gavin hesitated, then asked, “Are you and Evelynn here for business this time?”
Jeremy nodded again.
“With Evelynn sick, she won’t be able to help you much.”
“Her health comes first. This is a good chance for her to rest and recover.”
Gavin paused, then said, “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Has Evelynn divorced her husband yet?”
Jeremy looked at him for a moment. “Not yet.”
Gavin frowned. “Why not?”
“The case hasn’t gone to court yet,” Jeremy replied.

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....
