The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 507

Felicia let out a small laugh. “Oh, really?”

Max leaned in suddenly, bracing one hand on the other side of her. His tall frame blocked out the light, his shadow falling over her completely. He was close enough that she could smell his cologne, something subtle and masculine. Their eyes met, but his gaze wasn’t hungry or heated. There was nothing flirtatious about it.

He parted his lips, voice low and smooth. “Do you want to find out?”

Felicia didn’t hesitate. She pushed him away with a gentle shove.

Max leaned back, not bothered at all. He just grinned and said, “Maybe next time, then.”

Just then, the housekeeper came downstairs. “Anne’s awake,” she announced.

Felicia got up and headed upstairs. Max moved to follow, but his phone started buzzing. He checked the screen, saw who was calling, and answered. “Hi, Grandma.”

Miranda’s voice came through. “Max, have you and Felicia made up?”

Tatiana had been fuming all day. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so insulted, and what made it worse was that Max didn’t seem to care at all. That told her everything she needed to know. Not long after Max and Felicia left the hospital, Tatiana couldn’t stand it anymore and went back to the family estate. Then Marian called her, which just made her mood even worse. She was sure Felicia was behind the housekeeper situation. Obviously, Max was doing whatever Felicia wanted now.

When Miranda woke up from her nap, Tatiana couldn’t hold back anymore and started ranting. But Miranda wasn’t surprised that Max wanted Felicia back. She was the oldest in the family, and she always kept her cool.

“Felicia is Anne’s mother,” Miranda said calmly. “Andrea isn’t right for Max.”

Miranda knew Yvonne had been hanging around the Hawthornes more often, and she saw right through her intentions. On paper, Andrea’s family was a good match for Max, and Miranda had met her once. She had to admit, the girl was beautiful, but next to Felicia, she just seemed small-minded and lacking in confidence.
