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.

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....
