Andrea’s face went cold the second she heard that. Savannah didn’t bother with her. She turned to Felicia. “Let’s go.”
She slipped her arm through Felicia’s and led her away. Felicia shot Savannah a curious look, noticing the tension in her jaw. “Is there something going on between you two?”
Savannah shook her head. “Nothing really. She just annoys me.”
Andrea stood there, watching them walk off, her eyes narrowing dangerously as Savannah’s words drifted back to her.
They hadn’t made it far when Felicia stopped short. Something had just come to her. “Savannah, could you grab my purse from the room? There’s something I need to give back to her.”
Savannah frowned. “You know her too?”
Felicia shrugged. “Not really.”
Savannah didn’t push it. “Alright, wait here. I’ll be back in a minute.”
“Okay.”
Savannah walked off with purpose. Felicia glanced toward the restroom and waited where she was.
A few minutes later, Andrea emerged. She spotted Felicia and approached, her tone soft. “You’re waiting for me?”
Felicia nodded. “Yes. I have something to return to you, Miss Curtis. Please wait a moment.”
Andrea’s eyes lit up with recognition and she let out a little laugh. “Oh, you mean that pearl? It’s a dud. I was going to toss it anyway. Don’t bother giving it back. I don’t want it.”
Andrea smiled again. “Well, see you.”
Suddenly, a low voice broke through the tension. “Andrea.”
Felicia’s whole body tensed up at the sound. She spun around to see Max striding toward them.
“Max…” Andrea’s voice trembled as she stumbled into his arms. Max reached her in a few long steps, steadying her as she collapsed against his chest. He slid one hand around her back, the other gently cupping her reddened cheek. His eyes went icy, dangerous.
Felicia felt sweat trickle down her spine.
Max’s gaze landed on Felicia and Savannah, sharp as a knife. He turned to Andrea. “Who did this?”
Before Andrea could answer, Savannah stepped forward, meeting his cold stare head-on. “I did.” Her voice was steady. “What now, Mr. Hawthorne? Are you going to hit me back for her?”
Max’s gaze didn’t waver. His voice was low, almost calm, but there was a threat in it. “So, you already know what this is going to cost you?”

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....
