The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 388
She really wanted to hang up. But in the end, she picked up.
On the other end, a low voice came through. “Isn’t it time you gave me an explanation?”
Felicia was too tired to play games. “Max, just say what you want.”
There was silence after that. The kind of silence that made the air feel heavy, like she couldn’t take a full breath.
When he didn’t answer, Felicia was about to end the call herself. That’s when his voice cut in, firm and unyielding. “Two days from now, you’re coming to an event with me. Be ready.”
He didn’t give her a chance to say no. The line went dead.
Felicia just stared at her phone, stunned for a second. Then she tossed it aside.
After lunch, Felicia settled into work at the villa.
That afternoon, Jeremy dropped by after wrapping things up at the New York office.
Luke had already heard he was coming, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
“Hey Jeremy,” Luke called out.
Jeremy gave a small nod. “How’s it going?”
“All good.”
Felicia was still upstairs in the study, busy with her own work.
The guys stayed downstairs, catching up.
That night, Jeremy and Luke cooked dinner together.
“Luke, your cooking’s looking pretty solid,” Jeremy said, eyeing a plate of saucy pork with an approving grin.
Luke laughed. “Only because I messed it up at least a dozen times first. Felicia’s always working, and I’ve finished most of my stuff here, so I started learning to cook. We can’t really get used to the food around here, so it’s up to me.”
Right as dinner was ready, Felicia came down.
A little after ten, Gavin showed up with the other company’s reps.
Felicia went to greet them, shaking hands before leading everyone to the meeting room. She’d already laid out all the documents they’d need to look over.
They spent almost two hours in talks. The other company had already done their research on Northstar Dynamics, so things went smoothly. Once everything was settled, they started work on the contract, share transfer, and all the paperwork for taxes and legal stuff.
Felicia invited them out for dinner that evening.
When the meeting was done, she walked them downstairs to see them off.
As their car pulled away, Felicia turned to Gavin. “Really, thank you for all your help.”
Gavin gave her a grin. “Not like I did it for free. You owe me, Evelynn.”
Felicia laughed. “Of course.”
Gavin looked at her, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “That’s great. There’s an event tomorrow. How about being my date?”

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....
