“You mean those zero-point shots you just threw up?”
Felicia stared him down. “Luke, are you trying to get on my nerves?”
Luke only grinned wider. “Why so serious? Nobody’s gonna laugh at you. I could even give you some lessons for free.”
Felicia lifted her foot to stomp on his, but he dodged easily. “Who says I want you to teach me?”
She tried again, determined to make contact, but Luke slipped away, teasing, “You’ll never get me.”
“You…” Felicia glared, ready to go after him.
Luke took off running.
“Luke, get back here!”
Greg watched the two of them chase each other around, shaking his head with a helpless smile.
By the time they reached the villa’s entrance, Luke threw his hands in the air like a champion. “I win!”
Felicia finally caught up, panting, and kicked him lightly. “Win what? Nobody was competing with you.”
Luke yelped, acting hurt.
Ava was in the garden watering the flowers. When she saw them messing around, she came over. “Alright, both of you, go get cleaned up. Breakfast is ready.”
Luke perked up. “Did you make those pancakes I love?”
Ava’s smile was nothing but warm. “Of course I did.”
Felicia chimed in, “Mom, next time you must charge him for his meals.”
Luke shot her a look. “What, you don’t want the big boss helping you make money anymore?”
Felicia pinched his arm and headed inside.
Heather had picked a spot at the city center mall.
Felicia had just stepped out of the car when she heard a tiny voice call out, “Felicia!”
A little girl in a cute dress came running up to her. Felicia hurried over and scooped Yara into her arms. “Careful, sweetheart.”
Heather walked over, with Jeremy following behind pushing a stroller.
“She’s been talking about meetingyou all morning,” Heather said, shaking her head with a smile.
Felicia kissed Yara on the cheek. “I missed you too, Yara.”
Yara had just turned five in March, making her two months younger than Anne.
Jeremy spotted Luke, and the two guys exchanged nods and smiles.

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....
