When Felicia stepped out of the restroom, Max had already disappeared. She found Jeremy and Heather waiting for her, and filled them in on Luke’s dinner invitation for that evening.
Heather let out a dramatic sigh. “I was hoping to guilt my brother into paying for dinner tonight.”
Jeremy grinned. “Guess I dodged a bullet.”
Heather shot him a look. “You can’t escape forever. Felicia, start thinking about what you want to eat. Next time, Jeremy’s definitely buying.”
Felicia laughed. “Alright, I’ll do my research. I’ll make a list of all the rarest, fanciest dishes I can find.”
Jeremy joked, “Just don’t eat me into bankruptcy.”
They headed over to watch the fireworks show at six. The three of them stood together, faces lit by bursts of color, and didn’t leave until the last spark faded from the sky.
That night, Luke treated them to dinner at The Willow Bistro. Afterward, everyone said their goodbyes.
“Drive safe,” Felicia told Jeremy.
He nodded. “You too. Get some rest when you get home.”
Felicia slid into Luke’s car. After a whole afternoon out, she was totally wiped. She leaned back against the seat, her head dropping as sleep crept over her. Luke let her rest quietly.
Suddenly, Felicia opened her eyes. “Is Max thinking about getting remarried?”
Luke glanced over, surprised. “Not that I’ve heard. Why do you ask?”
Felicia kept her eyes forward. Max was still her husband, at least on paper, so even if he wanted to marry Andrea, he couldn’t. But she knew that wasn’t going to last forever.
Felicia listened, understanding what Luke was trying to say. No matter what happened, Anne would always have a place in the Hawthorne family.
She let out a long breath. “All I want is for her to be happy.”
Luke looked over, noticing the sadness and helplessness in her eyes. He knew how much she wanted to see her daughter, but what role could she even have in Anne’s life now?
He drove Felicia back to the villa. Before she got out, she handed him a bag with a water bottle inside.
Luke looked it over and smiled. “This is pretty cute.”
Felicia opened the door. “You should get some rest when you get home.”
“I will,” Luke said softly. “Goodnight.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
