The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 465

Max grabbed Felicia’s arm.

She came to an abrupt stop.

Right then, two coworkers leaving for the night waved her way. “Evelynn!”

Felicia quickly yanked her hand back.

The two recognized Max and greeted him politely. “Mr. Hawthorne.”

Max nodded in return.

“Thanks for the snacks tonight, Evelynn. They were really good.”

Felicia had just asked her assistant to hand them out. She gave a small, polite smile. “It’s late. You both should get home.”

“Will do.”

The two exchanged a glance, clearly curious about why Max was hanging around so late, but decided not to ask. They said goodbye and headed off.

“You didn’t have any yourself?” Max asked.

Felicia shot him a look and walked away.

This time, Max let her go.

She made it to her car but then stopped, turning to glare at the man trailing after her. “Max, what is wrong with you? Why are you following me?”

He sounded totally calm. “I’m hungry too. Let’s eat together.”

Felicia’s frown deepened. “Max, are you even listening? Why would I ever want to have dinner with you?”

He went on like she hadn’t said a word. “If you don’t want to drive, just come with me.”

Felicia stared at him, at a loss for words.

She took a steadying breath, pulled out her phone, and called the police.

“Hi, someone’s been following me. Can you send someone over to help?”

Max nodded and took his phone back.

Felicia kept her face stony, and while Max and the officer were talking, she turned and hurried off. She got in her car and locked the doors right away.

As she drove off, she caught a glimpse of Max standing on the steps, the wind tugging at his coat.

Max watched her car disappear. A moment later, his driver pulled up, and he got in.

Felicia drove straight to the restaurant, her anger burning so hot it almost made her forget she was hungry in the first place.

Once she parked, she took a second to collect herself, then headed inside.

Jeremy was already there, waiting for her.

“Sorry I’m late,” she said.

“No worries, I just got here too. Let’s order. See what you’re in the mood for.”

Felicia picked a couple of dishes from the menu.
