The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 398

After a brief chat with Anne, Felicia ended the video call. She scrolled through Max’s contacts, found Luke’s number, and hit call.

It rang for a few seconds. Silence greeted her.

“Luke, it’s me.”

There was a pause, then Luke’s voice, low and worried. “Felicia, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Max took me with him. My phone broke, so I couldn’t call before.”

Luke didn’t sound surprised. “We figured something like that happened.”

“So Max isn’t letting you leave?”

She let out a breath. “No, he wants me to stay here until I go back home.”

Luke asked where she was. Felicia gave him the address.

“As long as you’re safe, that’s what matters,” he said. “How’s Jeremy doing?”

Felicia thought back to the night of the party, remembering the way Holden had glared at Jeremy. Holden was vengeful, there was no way he’d just let things slide.

“Holden actually showed up here today. So, you might be safer with Max than anywhere else.”

Felicia’s heart clenched. “What did he want?”

“Just came to threaten us, try to scare us off.”

Felicia frowned. “Holden isn’t the type to make empty threats. Luke, if you and Jeremy don’t have to be here, maybe you should just go home. This isn’t like being back in our own city.”

Just as she finished speaking, a low voice came from behind her.

“Are you done?”

Felicia jumped, turning to see Max standing in the doorway.

He walked over and smoothly took the phone from her hand. Glancing at the screen, he brought it to his ear. “Luke, I’ll say this one more time. If you don’t have any business here, go home.”

There was only silence on the other end before Max ended the call. He looked down at Felicia, his tone serious. “You and Luke are just friends. Don’t cross that line.”

Felicia rolled her eyes. “Max, not everyone sees the world the way you do.”
