The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 720
Watching this unfold, the nearby sales associate could not help but sigh inwardly, completely overcome with envy.
They had seen plenty of wealthy men in their line of work. However, a man who was rich, breathtakingly handsome, possessed such an extraordinary aura, and spent money so generously was like finding a needle in a haystack.
But she knew she had no right to be jealous. After all, his wife was at the absolute pinnacle of beauty, and their daughter was undeniably gorgeous. That child had practically been born at the finish line of life.
Max pulled a sleek black card from his inner jacket pocket. Just as he was about to swipe it to pay, a sudden sound interrupted them.
Someone knocked on the lounge door. A staff member hurried over to open it.
Another supervisor from the boutique stepped inside, wearing an expression of deep apology. He looked directly at the manager. "Sir."
The manager frowned. "What is the matter?"
Right on his heels, Holden and Andrea strolled into the private room.
Holden's gaze swept over the luxurious jewelry scattered across the coffee table, eventually landing on the diamond encrusted emerald set. He took a step forward. "My apologies for the interruption, Max. I heard the boutique had a rare emerald collection available today. I assume this must be it."
Holden smoothly took a seat on the adjacent single armchair. He reached out to pick up the necklace for a closer look. Suddenly, another hand slid into his line of sight. Max used his black credit card to firmly block Holden's hand from touching the jewels.
Holden's hand paused. He turned his head to look at Max, a faint smile playing on his thin lips. "Do not be so stingy. I only want to take a look."
Max's voice was dark and commanding. "You are too late."
Holden pulled his hand back and leaned casually against the sofa. He crossed his long legs, his posture entirely relaxed and lazy. His eyes dragged over Felicia before he finally spoke again. "I wonder if you might let me have it this time, Max. Andrea really loves it too."
Andrea moved to sit sideways on the armrest of Holden's chair. Holden reached out and wrapped a possessive arm around her waist. His actions were incredibly intimate. "Max, I hope you can do me a favor and let me have this jewelry set, for old times' sake."
Max's expression remained entirely impassive. He completely ignored the couple's request and simply looked at the manager. "Charge the card."
The staff moved quickly to package up all the purchased jewelry securely.
The family soon walked out of the private lounge.
The general manager of the luxury mall had rushed over upon hearing the news of their massive purchase. He even arranged for personal shopping assistants to follow them and carry all their bags.
"Mr. Hawthorne, would you like me to clear the mall for you?" the mall director asked with the utmost respect.
Anne tugged on her father's hand. "Daddy, let's go home."
She absolutely did not want to run into those two obnoxious people again. They were just too unbearable.
Max looked down at Anne and gave a soft hum of agreement. "We are going home."

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....
