The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 272
Max watched Andrea, his tone soft. “Why do you still look upset?”
Andrea glanced up at him. His eyes were so gentle that her mood brightened right away. Her smile returned as she replied, “I’m not upset. Thank you, Max.”
“That’s all that matters.”
Andrea looked across at Felicia, her gaze shimmering with satisfaction.
Felicia was quietly talking with Jeremy. Even though she tried to tune out what was happening around her, the brief lull in the room let her catch every word between Andrea and Max.
Honestly, it made her feel sick.
Nicholas got up and stepped away to make a call. He asked someone to hold the sapphire and diamond ring for him, telling them not to auction it off.
The auction rolled on.
Eventually, the next item up was a painting Jeremy had been eyeing.
Felicia had expected Max to try to outbid Jeremy, or at least do something to annoy him. Everyone acted polite on the surface, but behind closed doors, their rivalry was intense.
Seeing how things played out, she realized she had underestimated them. Competing over something this minor meant nothing to people like them. It was just a waste of time.
In the end, there were no surprises. Jeremy took the painting for one hundred and fifty million.
Nicholas offered his congratulations. “I didn’t know you were interested in paintings, Mr. Milman.”
Jeremy smiled. “It’s for my grandfather’s eightieth birthday. It’ll be his birthday present.”
“That’s perfect. He’ll love it. Please give him my best wishes for his health and happiness.”
“Thank you.”
They exchanged a few more polite words before the next item appeared: an antique set.
Not many people bid on it.
Felicia raised her paddle.
Half an hour later, the auction wrapped up.
Max placed the winning bid on the final antique of the night.
The winners were ushered backstage to settle their purchases.
Nicholas had kept the sapphire and diamond ring aside for Felicia. She bought it for fifteen million.
Reviewing the paperwork, she saw there were no issues, so she signed her name. Payment was due within three days, and once it cleared, the ring would be delivered to her house.
While Jeremy’s painting was being authenticated, Felicia’s phone buzzed. She stepped outside to answer it.
It was Anne, her voice playful and sweet. “Evelynn, when are you coming home?”
Felicia had been staying with Anne at Oakridge Estate since school started, but she hadn’t expected Max to show up today. She had no idea if he’d be coming home tonight.
If he didn’t go home with Andrea, there was no way she’d go back either.

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....
