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.

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....
