Savannah let out a long sigh. “It’s a whole saga. I used to date her brother, you know. We were even about to get engaged.”
Felicia’s eyes widened. She replayed what Savannah had just said, and asked, “So… did you two break up because of Andrea?”
Savannah’s lips curled into this bitter, mocking smile. You could see the disgust in her eyes. “She wants every guy to orbit around her. Anytime her brother and I got close, she’d lose it, acting like I was stealing her man. Darin spoiled her like crazy, too. Well, thinking back on it, I’m glad we broke up. If I’d married him, my life would’ve been a nightmare.”
“So Max actually likes a girl like that? His taste is… something else.”
Anthony chimed in with a smirk. “Well, at least Mr. Milman’s got better taste.”
Jeremy gave him a look.
Felicia frowned, confused.
Savannah explained, her voice laced with a little satisfaction, “Andrea used to chase after Jeremy, but he turned her down flat.”
Felicia could hardly believe it. She never realized how tangled their stories were. So this was the kind of girl Max liked. Well, you never could explain why someone fell for who they did.
Soon it was time to go. The group left the restaurant together.
Just as they reached the lobby, they saw a scene playing out at the door. Andrea was clinging to Max, clearly not ready to say goodbye.
Savannah muttered, “What a pain.”
They all slowed down, waiting for the others to leave first.
Andrea held onto Max’s hand, refusing to get in the car. Max gently patted her head, his eyes soft. “Go on, your brother’s waiting.”
Andrea noticed their group walking over. She tipped her head up, lips parting in a pouty little whine. “Max, give me a kiss.”
Before Max could move, Darin’s voice cut in, sharper than before. “Andrea, we’re leaving.”
Max just said, “I’ll make it up to you next time.”
Felicia nodded.
Just then, her phone started buzzing. She reached into her bag, expecting it to be Ava. But when she saw who was calling, she froze.
Jeremy glanced over. “Is that Max?”
She nodded. “Yeah.”
“You should answer,” Jeremy said.
Felicia steadied her breath and picked up. “Hello?”
A deep, commanding voice came through the line. “Come back to Oakridge Estate!”
Then the call ended.

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....
