The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 41
They were still chatting when the waiter brought over their food. After dinner, Felicia went with Luke to a nearby luxury mall. His mom’s birthday was coming up, and he hadn’t picked out a gift yet. Since he finally had some free time, he wanted Felicia’s opinion. She agreed, happy to take a stroll and walk off dinner.
Luke parked in the underground lot, and they took the elevator up. They walked into a high-end jewelry store, where a saleswoman greeted them right away. She couldn’t help but notice Luke’s effortless style and the insanely expensive watch on his wrist. She found herself wondering how a guy like him ended up with someone as simply dressed as Felicia. They just didn’t look like they belonged in the same world. Rich people’s tastes could really be a mystery. Still, she kept her thoughts to herself and smiled politely. Since she knew they were shopping for an older family member, she invited them to sit down on the couch.
The saleswoman laid out a row of gemstone jewelry on the coffee table, each piece more stunning than the last, with price tags that were seriously jaw-dropping. Luke picked up a pearl necklace and turned it over in his hands.
Felicia nodded at a different necklace. “I think this one would really suit your mom. Take a look.”
Luke glanced at the piece in his hand, set it down, and reached for the sapphire necklace Felicia was holding. The saleswoman immediately started explaining the materials and the design.
Luke looked it over and nodded. “It’s beautiful. We’ll take this set. And can you wrap up the pearl necklace too?”
“Of course. Just a moment, please.”
The saleswoman returned the jewelry to the counter. Luke got up to pay. She carefully boxed everything and handed the bag to him. Luke took it and walked back to Felicia.
“Let’s go.”
Felicia pushed herself up, one hand on her belly. As she stood, she noticed the lace on her flat shoe had come undone. Luke noticed too. He set the shopping bag on the table, knelt in front of her, and tied her shoelace without a second thought.
The store staff watched in quiet surprise. It was obvious this man cared about his wife, but her simple outfit really didn’t scream “rich wife.” Neither Luke nor Felicia knew what was running through the staff’s minds.
Luke finished tying the shoelace and stood up. “All done.”
Max just nodded. “What did you get?”
“A birthday present for my mom,” Luke replied. “We’re all set, so we’ll get going.”
Max didn’t say anything else.
Luke grabbed the shopping bag and turned to Felicia. “Ready?”
Felicia kept her eyes on the floor, refusing to look at Max or Andrea, and followed Luke out.
Andrea watched them leave, then tilted her head up at Max. “They seem pretty close, don’t they?”

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....
