The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 39
“Has he really never liked anyone? Never dated before?”
Savannah sighed. “Him? All he ever thinks about is work and studying. He sees girls as distractions, nothing more. Honestly, the girls who’ve tried to get close to him are all amazing. Great families, smart, beautiful… but none of them even got a second glance. So for someone like Andrea, who’s so fake and manipulative, he wouldn’t even bother.”
She paused when Andrea’s name came up, glancing at Felicia.
Felicia caught the change in her tone and turned to look at Savannah. She gave a small smile. “Everyone’s preference is different. There’s no right answer when it comes to feelings.”
“Still, I think Max has terrible taste.”
Felicia didn’t say anything.
Savannah quickly changed the subject. “You know, you’re the only person Jeremy has ever complimented.”
“Me?” Felicia was genuinely surprised.
“Yeah. He said you’re the most hardworking, ambitious, and clever student he’s ever met. Said you’re definitely better than me, and roasted me for it.”
Felicia burst out laughing. “Did you do something to annoy her?”
“I did mess up at work, but she was serious about you. That’s why I think it’s such a waste for someone as smart and talented as you to give up your future for marriage and kids. I mean, to be blunt, it’s just throwing away your career. But you’re still young. Have your baby, and you can always start again.”
She shook her head. “Max is a jerk. The farther you stay from him, the better. Once you’re successful, there’ll be tons of amazing guys after you. Max won’t even matter.”
Felicia just smiled and nodded. She could tell Savannah was really upset, probably thinking about her own bad experiences too.
Savannah clenched the steering wheel tighter.
Felicia’s heart dropped as she listened. She’d known Max might retaliate, but she didn’t expect him to go this far for Andrea. She knew all about the financing deal. Losing it would be devastating for Brookside Bank.
She took a slow breath, staring out the window, pressing her hands over her stomach, trying to stay calm.
Savannah ended the call and pulled the car over, gripping the wheel, her face tense and angry.
Felicia watched her, worry clear in her eyes.
Finley had just told Savannah to head to The Spoon right away. He must have set up a meeting with someone there.

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....
