The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 396
Holden’s voice came through the phone. “Max, where did you go? I haven’t seen you anywhere.”
“Something came up. I left early,” Max said.
“Did you hear about the power outage just now?”
“Nope.”
“I saw Gavin with Eleanor, then Evelynn disappeared.”
Max sounded completely unfazed. “She disappeared. What’s that got to do with me?”
“I saw Jeremy looking for her. He looked worried.”
“You’re keeping a close eye on Jeremy. Don’t tell me you’re interested in him too.”
Holden let out a low laugh. His tone was teasing. “You left, and Evelynn vanishes right after. Funny, don’t you think?”
Max’s expression didn’t change. “That is a coincidence.”
“Yeah, a real one. If you find out where she is, you’d better tell me right away.”
“I’m not your personal search party. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
He ended the call.
An hour later, the car pulled up in front of a gorgeous villa on the Upper East Side.
The driver got out and opened the door.
Max walked around to the other side and found Felicia still sitting there, refusing to budge. She turned her face away, pretending not to notice him.
He leaned in, slid his arms under her, and lifted her out of the car.
Felicia stiffened, her whole body resisting. “What are you doing…”
He looked right at her. “Want to try walking instead?”
She barely managed to keep her face steady, but the pain in her ankle was impossible to ignore. Her knee throbbed, but her ankle felt even worse now.
She shot him a glare. “Mind your own business.”
Before Felicia could react, there was a sharp crack.
She yelped in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat. It felt like her ankle was being twisted in two.
Max’s voice was calm. “All done.”
She was still catching her breath when he started rubbing ointment on her ankle. Then he told the maid to bring over some slippers.
Felicia glared at him, certain he’d done it on purpose. She snatched a pillow from the sofa and threw it at him.
Max caught it with one hand and set it aside. “From now on, you’re staying here.”
She crossed her arms, refusing to back down. “Says who? I don’t have to do what you say.”
Max’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. His voice was firm. “You’re staying here until you leave the country. That’s not up for discussion.”

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....
