The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 225
Felicia set her phone aside, her face turning serious.
A knock came at the door.
She took a second to collect herself, then went to open it. Standing outside was Jeremy. “Good morning.”
Jeremy gave her an easy smile. “You look a lot better today.”
Felicia nodded. “After sleeping for a whole day and night, I’d hope so.”
“Let’s get some breakfast.”
They headed down to the restaurant on the first floor.
“Evelynn, Jeremy.”
Gavin strolled over to their table.
Felicia smiled and greeted him.
“Mind if I join you for breakfast?” Gavin asked.
Felicia arched an eyebrow, teasing, “If I said yes, would you actually leave?”
Gavin set down his tray, pulled out a chair, and grinned. “Don’t be so harsh, Evelynn. My feelings are delicate, you know.”
Felicia shot him a playful look. “You, getting your feelings hurt by a girl? That’ll be the day.”
Gavin laughed. “You don’t have to stereotype me. I’m working hard on being a decent guy.”
Felicia lifted her glass of juice, her lips twitching into a smile. “Well then, good luck with that.”
Gavin clinked his glass against hers. “That’s the best encouragement I could ask for.”
They both laughed.
Gavin took a sip of milk, then waved over at Max, who was sitting by the window. Max glanced at him, then looked away, focusing on his meal. Andrea sat across from him, carrying her breakfast to the table.
When Andrea glanced over at Felicia and Jeremy, her eyes were full of barely-concealed hatred.
Felicia didn’t pay them any attention, acting as if they weren’t even there.
“So, Evelynn, what’s on your agenda today?” Gavin asked.
As Felicia and Jeremy finished breakfast and got ready to leave, Andrea suddenly stood up, clearly annoyed.
Max got up too and gently caught her by the wrist, guiding her back into her seat and quietly trying to calm her down.
Felicia barely glanced their way, then turned to say goodbye to Gavin.
Gavin smiled and waved her off.
Felicia and Jeremy left the restaurant.
They took a walk on the deck, letting the sea breeze and the endless blue ocean lift their spirits.
Felicia’s phone rang. It was Luke calling.
They chatted for a few minutes.
“Hey, isn’t the court hearing tomorrow?” Luke asked.
“There’s been a bit of a snag,” Felicia admitted. “I’m waiting for my lawyer to call.”
Luke paused for a moment, but he didn’t sound surprised.

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....
