The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 218

Gavin couldn’t take his eyes off Felicia. There was no hiding the way he felt about her. “Evelynn was the first woman who ever turned me down,” he admitted, his voice soft but definite. “I really like her. I haven’t been able to forget her, not for a second. That’s why I came here, honestly. I just wanted to see her again.”

Max followed Gavin’s gaze, his own eyes impossibly dark as they landed on Felicia. “You’ve got plenty of girls around you who are prettier than her. Are you this hung up just because she rejected you? Is it all about the thrill of the chase?”

Gavin flicked his eyes back to Max and let out a quiet laugh. “It’s not just about looks. There’s something really special about her. She just draws me in. Don’t you feel it? She’s different.”

Max gave a small, almost bored smile. “Honestly, I don’t see anything that sets her apart from the rest.”

Gavin shrugged, still smiling. “That’s probably because you already have a girlfriend. Miss Curtis is gorgeous too.”

Just then, Andrea finished chatting with someone and made her way over. “Max, let’s go dance,” she said, her voice bright.

Max handed his drink to a passing server and nodded at Gavin. “Excuse us.”

Andrea slipped her arm through Max’s, and the two of them headed for the dance floor.

Gavin stood there for another moment, watching Felicia as she moved across the room. He couldn’t help it. Eventually, he turned and walked out, deciding he needed some fresh air to clear his head.

Max led Andrea onto the dance floor, his hand steady on her waist as they moved to the music.

Felicia spun around just in time to catch a glimpse of the two of them together. Her eyes met Max’s for a heartbeat, and for a second, the world seemed to go quiet.

She wanted to ignore them, pretend they didn’t exist, but just seeing the two of them together made her want to puke.

Jeremy picked up on her discomfort. “Want to get out of here?” he asked gently.

Felicia looked up at him, then shook her head, her eyes dropping. “No. I’m good.”

She knew she’d have to run into Max eventually. There was no avoiding it. She might as well get used to it.

Jeremy gave her a reassuring smile. “Just relax, okay?”
