The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 389
His words hung in the air, making Felicia pause. She stood there for a moment, only now remembering the call Max had made to her yesterday. It sounded like the event Gavin mentioned was the same one Max had talked about.
When she didn’t answer right away, Gavin’s face fell and he looked genuinely disappointed. “Is something wrong? Don’t tell me you’re going to say no.”
Felicia gave him a small smile. “If I turned you down, it would be pretty rude of me.”
Gavin’s mood instantly brightened. “Great. I’ll come pick you up at nine tomorrow morning.”
She nodded, agreeing to the plan.
With that settled, Gavin got into his car and drove off, clearly in a good mood.
Felicia headed upstairs to her office.
Luke looked up when she walked in. “All done?”
She nodded. “Yep, everything went smoothly.”
“That’s good to hear. How much longer do you think the rest will take?”
“Probably about a week,” Felicia replied. “After that, I’ll let the team handle whatever’s left.”
Luke let out a sigh. “The company’s doing really well right now.”
Felicia felt a pang of reluctance deep down, but there was nothing she could do about it. She had already made her decision, and there was no room for second thoughts anymore.
Just then, the receptionist knocked and walked in, holding a bunch of roses.
Felicia frowned.
“These just came for you,” the receptionist said.
Felicia didn’t hesitate. “Throw them out.”
The receptionist nodded and left with the flowers.
Luke watched the whole thing and seemed to put two and two together. “Holden sent them, didn’t he?”
Felicia rolled her eyes. “Who else would pull something insane like this?”
Luke’s expression turned serious. “He really just won’t quit.”
Felicia had already thought of that. The contract with the other company wasn’t signed yet. If anything happened now, they could easily pull out, and she couldn’t risk putting the company in danger. Holden was completely unpredictable. He was worse than Max, even more obsessive and twisted.
“I know.”
Jeremy glanced at her. “Are you free this afternoon? I just talked to Michael, and he’s home. Want to go see him?”
Felicia shook her head. “I can’t today.” She told Jeremy about the event she was supposed to attend with Gavin.
“What kind of event is it? Where’s it being held?” Jeremy asked.
“I’m not sure about the details,” Felicia admitted.
“Ask Gavin,” Jeremy suggested.
“Okay.”
After lunch, the doorbell rang.
Luke went to answer it. When he saw who was standing outside, he stood there in stunned silence.

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....
