The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 222
“I see. So, Mr. Milman, you’ve met Evelynn’s husband, haven’t you? What’s he like?”
Jeremy gave a small smile. “I think we should stay out of Evelynn’s personal life.”
Gavin took the hint and let it drop.
They waited together for the elevator. When the doors slid open, Jim walked out. Spotting Jeremy, he nodded, “Mr. Milman.”
Jeremy met his gaze. “Mr. Curtis, are you here to see Evelynn?”
Jim said, “My sister-in-law called me. I want to talk to Evelynn.”
He meant Yvonne. That morning, Andrea had called her mother in tears, and Yvonne was furious. She had spoiled her daughter since birth, never even raising her voice at her. Now an outsider had bullied Andrea, and Max hadn’t done anything to protect her. Yvonne was livid, so she called Jim.
Jeremy’s expression cooled. “Evelynn isn’t feeling well, she’s resting. If there’s something you want to discuss, you can talk to me.”
Jim noticed how firm he was. “Alright.”
Jeremy excused himself from Gavin and walked off with Jim.
Inside, Felicia had taken her medicine and gotten an injection. She felt groggy and just lay down, falling asleep without realizing it.

Elsewhere, Max was on the phone with Darin. “Jim is trying to get Jeremy on his side. Honestly, Jeremy might actually be tempted to join in.”
Darin sounded pretty relaxed. “If Jim can really convince Jeremy, I’ll admit he’s got some real skills.
“But for now, Andrea is the bigger problem. My mom just called, and she’s furious. Why didn’t you look after Andrea?”
Max didn’t make excuses. “You’re right. I should have.”
Darin sighed. “Andrea’s never had to deal with anything like this before. Evelynn is tough, and Jeremy clearly wants to protect her. Forcing her to apologize to Andrea is probably not going to happen.”
Max’s voice was unreadable. “She really has changed.”
Max glanced at the calendar on his phone, then made another call. “When’s the court date?”
A respectful voice answered, “This Friday, ten a.m.”
That was the day after tomorrow.
…
Felicia woke up again at three in the afternoon.
She was sweaty all over. She touched her forehead, relieved to feel the fever had gone down, though her head was still a little foggy, probably from sleeping so long.
She sat on the bed for a few minutes to clear her mind.
Right then, she heard the door click open.

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....
