The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 659

Felicia fixed her gaze on him, silent for a long, tense moment.

When she finally spoke, her voice was laced with sarcasm. “You seriously don’t know what you did? Should I pull up the video receipts for you?”

Max kept his cool. “I’m not denying anything I actually did. But I won’t take the blame for things that never happened. If you have something to show me, then go ahead. Let’s see what kind of video proof makes you so sure there’s something between me and her.”

Felicia let out a humorless laugh, staring right at him. “Come on, Max. You used to spoil her rotten, like she was your whole world. Now she’s moving on and getting engaged to someone else, and you can’t handle it. Andrea’s still hung up on you. The two of you getting back together—it just makes sense, doesn’t it? Nobody’s making anything up.”

Max met her eyes without flinching. “Going over old ground gets us nowhere. I’ve said it before. I signed that agreement with you, so why would I do anything to embarrass myself? I have things in my life I need to sort out, that’s true. As for that night at the hotel, Darin and I were there looking for someone. It’s not how you imagine.”

He paused for a moment, looking off into the distance. “I can promise you, after this is settled, there’ll be nothing left between me and her.”

Felicia listened, her expression unreadable. “You don’t need to promise me anything. Whatever it is you’re trying to ‘fix’ with Andrea, you’re already involved again. That means you broke the agreement.”

Max turned, his voice going low. “So, what—you want a divorce now?”

Felicia shifted to face him, locking eyes with him. His gaze was intense and dark and almost suffocating.

He kept going. “If we get divorced, I will remarry. Just think about that for a second. Are you really ready to let Anne go? Ready for her to call some other woman ‘mom’?”

His breath was warm on her cheek.

“Are you done?” Felicia’s voice was cool, but there was a tremor under it.

Max looked down at her, letting go of her hand. “I can offer Roen Capital part of my Heathview shares.”

Felicia gave a small, cold smile. “How generous. I don’t need it.”

“It’s fine. Just think about it,” Max said. “Anything you need right now, whatever it is, I’ll do it.”
