Jeremy handed the stroller to Heather. “If you need anything, just call me.”
Heather nodded. “Alright. Yara, say bye to your uncle.”
Yara gave Jeremy a cheerful wave. “Bye, Uncle Jeremy.”
Jeremy ruffled Yara’s hair, smiling fondly before heading off. Luke turned to Felicia, his expression softening. “Call me when you’re ready to leave and I’ll come pick you up.”
Felicia nodded, and Luke left after saying his goodbyes.
Heather buckled Yara into the stroller and steered them into the mall. She leaned closer, her voice teasing. “So, are you guys living together now?”
Felicia shot her a look. “We just live in the same neighborhood.”
Heather smirked, unable to hide her amusement. “Oh sure. Same neighborhood, huh? Not much of a difference, is there?”
Felicia gave her a warning stare. “What exactly are you getting at?”
Heather just grinned. “Nothing. Just curious.”
Luke used to fly to the States to visit Felicia, so Heather had gotten to know him pretty well over time. Luke’s feelings for Felicia were obvious to everyone, but Felicia only cared about her career these days. Romance just wasn’t on her radar, which was fine by Heather. She still secretly hoped to set Felicia up with her own brother instead.
“Oh, by the way, do you even realize how much you’re trending online right now?”
Felicia barely had time to keep up with the news, but she’d seen her name blowing up that morning. Hosting the finance show last night, plus her appearance at the summit a couple days ago, had sent her popularity through the roof. She’d immediately called someone to try and get it all taken down. The last thing she wanted was to become some kind of public figure.
Heather grinned. “I’m telling you, whenever Evelynn steps into the spotlight, she’s always the brightest one there.”
Heather ducked into the restroom, so Felicia took Yara to look at some clothes. She spotted a few adorable dresses and, without even trying them on, bought two right away. A sales assistant suggested a pale yellow, short-sleeved jacket with a pretty bow on the back. Felicia knelt down to help Yara try it on.
“Anne, do you like this one?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Felicia’s heart skipped a beat. She turned and, through a row of clothing racks, caught sight of Andrea.
And... Anne.
Just seeing her daughter’s delicate profile made a wave of longing crash over her. Her chest tightened, the ache almost unbearable. She couldn’t take her eyes off Anne, frozen in place, lost in memories.
“Could you please help me with this?”
Yara’s voice snapped her back. Felicia took a shaky breath, steadying herself as she tied the bow on Yara’s jacket. It was such an easy thing to do, but her hands fumbled. It took her three tries before she finally got it right.

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....
