The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 635
Gavin just grinned, like it was no big deal. “Come on, how is this stirring the pot? You two aren’t a thing. Evelynn doesn’t even care about you. Don’t go imagining things.”
He gave Max a playful look. “You can’t force love.”
Max’s voice dropped, firm and with a warning edge. “Gavin, whatever’s going on between me and her, it’s none of your business.”
Gavin let out a quiet chuckle. “Whoa, relax. Seriously though—do you even know how you feel about Evelynn? Do you actually love her, or what?”
Max took a sip of wine, silent.
Later on, in the middle of the party, someone bumped into Max and spilled a drink down his shirt. He ducked away to clean up. A little while later, Olisha slipped into the room, holding a fresh set of clothes.
She was dressed in a short, red dress with thin straps and a daring neckline that made her skin look almost impossibly seductive. The dress left just enough to the imagination, the soft curve of her chest shifting with every breath. She stood there, young, beautiful, and she smelled like something impossible to forget.
The overhead lights caught in her amber eyes, making them sparkle. She looked like she’d stepped out of a dream.
It was obvious why she’d showed up like this. Any guy with a pulse would have a hard time not reacting.
Max’s dark eyes grew colder as he watched her.
Olisha looked up at him, practically shining with admiration she barely tried to hide.
“Mr. Hawthorne, I’m sorry,” she said softly. “I didn’t mean to spill the drink. Let me help you change.”
She set the clothes down on the sofa and stepped closer, reaching for the buttons of his shirt. She barely touched him before his voice, low and ice-cold, cut through.
“Leave.”
Max’s face didn’t soften. He looked even colder. “Who you are doesn’t matter. I don’t need your help.”
Olisha bit her lip, her eyes growing wet with frustration. Men usually fell at her feet, but he seemed immune to her completely.
She clenched her fists, holding back tears.
Then, all at once, she lunged for him, wrapping her arms around his waist, pressed close and desperate. “Mr. Hawthorne, please. I just want to be yours. Let me stay.”
Max’s face went hard as stone.
A few moments later, Max walked out of the room, alone.

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....
