The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 409
He’d seen plenty of girls like her before. Gorgeous, sure, but deep down, just looking for a man to spoil them. Nothing but arm candy.
He honestly hadn’t realized Andrea was the type to break up someone’s marriage. And the way she acted, like she was proud of it, was unbelievable.
Gavin gave her a lazy smirk. “What’s with that look, Miss Curtis? Worried someone’s going to snatch your man?”
Andrea’s face froze for a split second. She could feel the contempt in Gavin’s eyes now, so different from how he used to look at her. She was sure Felicia must have said something to turn him against her.
He went on, his voice light but sharp. “But you really don’t need to worry, Miss Curtis. No one wants your man right now.”
Max shot Gavin an icy stare. Gavin just shrugged and met it straight on. “What? Did I say something that isn’t true?”
Max’s voice cooled. “Maybe you should find something better to do.”
Gavin immediately fell quiet, a little more alert.
Max turned away, guiding Andrea into the restaurant.
Darin glanced at Felicia and Gavin, then followed them inside.
Gavin nudged Felicia. “Come on, let’s go in too.”
They found a table, a few seats away from Max and his group.
A waiter came over with menus.
“You pick,” Felicia said.
Gavin grinned. “Don’t mind if I do.”
Felicia smiled, easy and warm. “Just order whatever you want.”
Once they’d ordered, Gavin leaned forward, suddenly earnest. “Evelynn, you always set your moral bar so high. You are married to a man who doesn’t care about you. You could date whoever you want. Honestly, how is your life any different from someone who’s single all these years?”
Felicia gave a small laugh. “You’re not totally wrong.”
Gavin’s eyes sparkled. “Then how about giving me a shot? Let me show you what it’s really like to fall in love. I swear, my whole world would revolve around you.”
Felicia sipped her juice, unfazed. “I’m not interested in a long-distance thing.”
Max, Darin, and Andrea all watched.
Andrea knew Gavin’s type. Normally, girls chased after him, not the other way around. Seeing Gavin go all out for Felicia made jealousy flare up in her chest. What did this plain-looking woman have that she didn’t?
Felicia reached out, quickly taking the roses from him.
Gavin leaned in, so close their faces nearly touched, and snapped a selfie. Since their backs were to the other tables, no one could see what Felicia was really feeling.
When he finished, his eyes were shining with satisfaction.
The rest of the restaurant burst into applause.
Gavin stood up and announced, “Dinner’s on me tonight, everyone!”
The cheers and congratulations got even louder.
Darin glanced over at Max.
Max just looked away, grabbed his wine glass, and took a slow sip, his face unreadable.

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....
