The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 380
Trey stood in place for a moment, watching Felicia walk away. He let out a quiet laugh and finally looked away. His driver pulled up, and the doorman hurried over to open the car door with practiced respect. Trey took out his phone as he slid into the back seat, dialing a number. The call connected almost immediately.
“Hey, Holden. Guess who I just ran into today?” Trey’s voice was light and teasing.
Meanwhile, at dinner, Felicia faced the company’s higher-ups and told them she was planning to sell her shares and step away from Northstar Dynamics. Max had stopped meddling for now, but she had only put the divorce on hold. She had to divorce him someday. Some of the execs really tried to convince her to stay, but she had already made up her mind. There wasn’t much more they could say. She promised she’d stay on to help manage everything until her departure was official.
After dinner, Felicia stepped out of the building and immediately spotted a flashy Apollo sports car parked at the curb. Leaning against the door was a man with piercing blue eyes, dressed in a wild patterned shirt with a few buttons undone and black sunglasses perched on his nose. On anyone else, the look would be too much, but somehow he pulled it off.
Gavin noticed her right away. He ended his call, stood up straight, and waved. His grin was bright, almost cocky.
Felicia walked over, shaking her head. “Sunglasses at night? Really?”
Gavin laughed. “Gotta keep up the cool guy image. Come on, let’s get that drink.”
He’d done her a big favor, connecting her with a company willing to buy her shares for a great price, and more importantly, they had zero connection to Max. Gavin promised Max wouldn’t be able to mess with the deal. In two days, she’d meet with the buyers to finalize everything. Gavin had called her earlier, and she’d invited him out for drinks to say thank you.
Gavin opened the car door for her like a perfect gentleman. As Felicia slid into the passenger seat, she immediately caught the scent of a familiar Dior perfume. When she moved her feet, she accidentally nudged something and bent down to see what it was. She picked up a tube of lipstick.
Gavin got in and noticed what she was holding. He grinned. “No need to fix your makeup, Evelynn. You already look gorgeous. But if you want to be even prettier for me, I won’t complain.”
Felicia handed him the lipstick, a small smile curving her lips. “This is a limited edition. Someone must’ve dropped it.”
For a split second, Gavin’s expression changed. There was a flicker of something cold in his eyes, but it was gone as fast as it appeared. He took the lipstick without missing a beat. “Wow, Evelynn, you’re not even a little jealous?”
Gavin noticed her silence and frowned. “Evelynn? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” she said quietly.
Gavin tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry. I’m here. If he even thinks about coming after you, he’ll have to deal with me.”
Felicia managed a faint smile. “Alright, then I’ll buy you a couple extra drinks tonight.”
Gavin grinned. “I’m not going to say no to that.”
They ended up drinking together until ten that night. Gavin had already arranged for a driver to take them home. He’d planned to take Felicia himself, but Luke called her while they were talking. That’s when Gavin realized Felicia hadn’t come to New York alone.

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....
