The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 986
Jeremy marched right up to them. His eyes flicked down to Max's iron grip on Felicia's wrist before locking onto the other man's face. Max narrowed his dark eyes, his presence turning lethal. In a split second, the air around them seemed to freeze solid.
"You arrived right on time," Max said, his voice laced with frost. "Someone is spreading rumors about your relationship with Felicia. Perhaps you should clarify things with her, lest you ruin her reputation."
Felicia's face was stormy. Hearing the threat in his voice, Mrs. Higgins felt a wave of absolute panic. Her face drained of color, and she frantically turned to flee.
Max noticed her movement. "Stop right there."
The older woman trembled violently. Jeremy turned his gaze on her as well. Under the crushing pressure of both men staring her down, she felt like she might collapse. She forced a terrified, apologetic smile. "I... I just got thw wrong idea! I saw them coming and going together all the time, so naturally, my mind just went there."
Max shifted his attention back to Jeremy. "Should you not explain yourself?"
Jeremy looked back at him without missing a beat. "You and Felicia are divorced. Who she spends time with and what people assume is no longer your concern. I have absolutely no obligation to explain anything to you."
Their auras clashed, neither man willing to yield an inch. Max's face noticeably darkened, and he let out a bitter sneer. "You are quite full of yourself."
"That is enough, Max," Felicia snapped.
"Let us go, then."
Jeremy unlock a scooter next to hers. He was dressed casually today as well, though no matter what he wore, his refined, aristocratic aura never quite matched the little electric scooter. The first time he had ridden one to the office, Felicia had relentlessly teased him about it.
Less than ten minutes later, they arrived at Cloudville Tower and took the elevator up to their floor. Felicia sat down at her desk to collect herself, but an inexplicable irritability gnawed at her. Someone knocked and brought in some data reports for her to review. Pushing her personal mess aside, she threw herself entirely into her work.
She had a morning meeting at ten o'clock, which Jeremy did not attend. She led the session, listening to the department reports until it finally wrapped up at eleven thirty. Normally, Mabel prepared her lunch and dropped it off at the office. Just then, her phone buzzed. It was Anne. A sudden knot of anxiety tightened in her chest. Remembering Max's explosive anger that morning, she genuinely feared he might have packed up Anne and left the city in a fit of rage.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
