The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 574

No wonder Max moved on so fast.

Compared to Andrea, she was stunning. Not just beautiful, but elegant, too. Andrea was the kind of girl you kept on a pedestal. Evelynn, though, had both looks and real talent. She was capable, not just pretty.

Anne tugged Felicia over to help her with a puzzle.

Lunchtime came around. The kitchen was full of incredible smells. All the ingredients had just arrived the day before, flown in from all over the world. The chef was top-tier, and it showed.

Everyone piled their plates with whatever caught their eye, then found seats around the big dining table.

Max grabbed a plate of food for Anne, then got Felicia a glass of white wine. “You should try this. It's a special Grand Cru from Domaine Leroy.”

Felicia lifted the glass, breathing in the sweet, elegant scent. She took a small sip. The wine was rich and smooth, better than anything she’d tasted before. It was easy to believe it was worth a small fortune.

“How do you like it?” Max asked.

Felicia nodded. “It’s good.”

“If you like it, I’ll have a few bottles sent over tomorrow.”

She glanced at him, but didn’t say anything else.

Whenever they were together, Max was so attentive, almost gentle. It was obvious, even to the others.

Carol exchanged glances with the group, shock all over her face. None of them had guessed Evelynn and Max were together. No wonder Evelynn acted so confident, even arrogant sometimes. Kate seemed to know her, too.

Landing a guy like Max took some serious skill.

Carol couldn’t stop staring at Felicia, her eyes practically burning with jealousy.

“Don’t make it so obvious,” Dannie murmured.

Carol tore her gaze away, turning to Dannie. “I never heard about Max having another girl. Do you know when they got together?”

After lunch, Cian called out, “Max, come play cards with us.”

Max shook his head. “You guys go on.”

Cian grinned, teasing, “Man, you’re totally whipped. You and Felicia are always glued together. Do you have to show off right now?”

Felicia didn’t react, just kept her face calm.

Max looked down at her. “Want to play a round or two? If we win, the prize is yours. If we lose, I’ll cover it.”

Felicia shook her head. “No, you go ahead.”

Max nodded. “Alright. Stay with Anne, then.”

He glanced at her one last time, his gaze full of gentle affection, like she was the only thing he could see. Anyone watching would think he was completely devoted.
