“A couple of days ago,” Jeremy said.
Gavin nodded, letting it go. He turned to Felicia. “Evelynn, go freshen up. I’m taking you out to pick a dress. Tonight, I swear, you’ll be the most beautiful girl in the room.”
Felicia didn’t look at Max again. She just replied, “Alright,” and headed upstairs.
Gavin grinned at Max. “So, Max, you came for Evelynn? Listen, she’s over you. You should really hurry up and sign those divorce papers. Don’t get in the way of my happily ever after. I’m seriously in a rush here.”
Max shot him a cold look and walked out without a word.
“Max!” Gavin called after him, but Max didn’t stop.
After Max was gone, Jeremy asked, “What kind of event are you taking Evelynn to tonight?”
Gavin answered, “Just a networking party.” Seeing the way Jeremy and Luke looked at him, he quickly added, “Don’t worry, it’s completely proper. I just wanted to take her out for a bit of fun.”
“That’s good,” Jeremy said. “Actually, I have a small favor to ask. Do you think you could get me another ticket?”
Gavin hesitated, obviously unsure.
Jeremy went on, “Evelynn is your date tonight. I’ll just be there to keep an eye on things.”
Gavin was silent for a beat, then gave in. “Alright, fine.”
Luke immediately said, “I’ll go too.”
Gavin glanced at Luke and let out a helpless laugh. “You are acting like I’m selling Evelynn off or something.”
Luke smiled. “Come on.”
Gavin finally relented. “Alright, let’s exchange numbers. When you get there tonight, just call me.”
“Thank you,” Jeremy said.
Jeremy saved Gavin’s contact info.
Felicia shook her head. “Not really.”
Gavin sighed, sounding disappointed. “Too bad. Guess I missed out on some drama.”
Felicia looked at him. “If you like drama that much, you could just stay home and watch TV all day.”
Gavin grinned. “Watching TV dramas is fun, but watching Max get knocked down a peg is even better. The guy is so arrogant. Sometimes I just want to punch him and see him cry.”
Felicia couldn’t even picture that. It was impossible to imagine.
“If you want to see that, why don’t you just hire someone to kidnap him and make him cry?”
“I’d love to, but he’s tough. I’d probably get myself killed.”
Felicia rolled her eyes. “You’re such a coward, but you still want to enjoy the drama.”
Gavin shrugged. “Hey, a guy can dream, right?”

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....
