The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 394
“Gavin!”
A woman’s voice rang out, sharp and clear.
Felicia turned and spotted her instantly. The woman was gorgeous, all shiny hair and amber eyes, with the kind of confidence that made her look like she belonged on the cover of a magazine. Everything about her screamed old money and high society.
Gavin looked stunned. “Eleanor? What are you doing here? When did you get here?”
Eleanor didn’t answer him. She kept her eyes on Felicia and reached out a hand. “Hi. I’m Eleanor, Gavin’s fiancée. May I ask, what is your relationship to him?”
Gavin froze. His expression darkened, clear frustration showing in the tight set of his jaw. “Eleanor, we’re not engaged.”
Eleanor didn’t even blink. Her attention stayed locked on Felicia.
Felicia could feel the tension, that unmistakable chill of another woman’s jealousy. It didn’t take a genius to see what was going on. Eleanor was probably the girl Gavin’s family wanted him to marry.
Felicia took her hand, her smile polite. “Hi, I’m Evelynn. Gavin and I went to school together. We’re friends.”
Eleanor looked her up and down. “You’re very beautiful, Evelynn. No wonder Gavin is so interested in you, and brought you to this party.”
“Thank you. You look amazing, too. You and Gavin really suit each other.”
Eleanor smiled sweetly. “Thank you. In that case, would you mind letting me have him for tonight?”
Felicia kept her tone light. “You’re too generous, Miss Eleanor. He’s your fiancé. I don’t have a say in that.”
Gavin, who’d basically been invisible this whole time, finally had enough. He shot Eleanor a look, his voice edged with irritation. “Eleanor…”
He never finished his sentence. Felicia’s phone started vibrating in her bag.
She pulled it out, glanced at the screen, then gave them a quick nod. “Sorry, I need to take this call.”
“Evelynn!” Gavin called after her, sounding desperate.
Eleanor grabbed his arm. “Gavin, it’s obvious she doesn’t even like you.”
Gavin yanked his arm free, glaring at Eleanor. His voice was low, angry. “Eleanor, this doesn’t concern you. Don’t push me.”
He didn’t answer. He just kept moving, dragging her out of the hall.
Only when they stepped into the pale glow of the moon outside did Felicia finally see his face.
“Max, what are you doing? Let go of me.”
She tried to pull away, but his grip only tightened. She gathered her dress in her free hand, stumbling in her heels as she struggled to keep up with him.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, she lost her balance and went down hard.
Max stopped and turned. Felicia was on her knees, one hand pressed to the ground, the other still caught in his grasp.
Her face had gone white from the pain. Her phone had slipped from her hand and landed a few feet away, the screen splintered.
Max bent down and, without a word, swept her up into his arms.

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....
