She promised herself she’d start dieting today. But after just one day on Felicia’s custom meal plan, she couldn’t handle it anymore. Her stomach just wouldn’t stop growling, so she slipped downstairs, hoping to find something to eat.
Ava was in the kitchen, making a bottle for Sean. Without missing a beat, Ava started putting together some food for her. “You’re not even fat. Seriously, you look adorable with a little bit of softness,” Ava said, smiling.
Heather heard that and whatever willpower she had left completely disappeared.
Felicia came in, spotting the big bowl of chicken noodle soup and the pork hock on the table. She raised her eyebrows, the hint of a smirk playing on her lips. “Looks like someone’s eating well tonight.”
Heather let out a nervous laugh. “Felicia, do you want some?”
Felicia met her gaze. “If I eat, what will you have left?”
That smile of Felicia’s was almost scary. Heather broke into a cold sweat, grabbed Felicia’s hand, and rushed to apologize. “I was just super hungry, I swear! Just let me finish this meal, I promise I won’t cheat tomorrow.” She even put her hand up, like she was taking a vow.
Ava joined in, “Heather barely ate anything today. Girls don’t have to be stick-thin, you know.”
Felicia sighed. “You should probably skip the pork hocks, though.”
She was sure Heather would regret it tomorrow.
Heather didn’t argue. She immediately pushed the pork hocks to the far end of the table.
Ava just chuckled and turned to Felicia. “Are you hungry? Want me to make you something?”
Felicia nodded. “Yeah, just make me some soup, please. I’ll eat with her.”
Heather jumped up and pulled out a chair for Felicia. “Please, have a seat, gorgeous.”
Felicia joined her, and the two of them finished their soup. Heather ate with zero guilt this time.
The next morning, Felicia woke Heather up early. As soon as Heather got downstairs and saw Greg in a black tank top and shorts, all fit and athletic, she instantly felt motivated. She really wanted to kick herself for not sticking to her diet the night before.
She beamed, “Morning, Greg!”
Honestly, it wasn’t hard to tell. Greg was smart, but when it came to feelings, he was kind of clueless.
Felicia raised an eyebrow. “My brother’s a catch. It’s not weird at all.”
Luke grinned. “See? That’s what happens when girls and boys get together.”
Felicia shot him a warning look. “Don’t say anything stupid in front of Greg.”
Luke held up his hands. “Would I ever?”
Later that morning, Felicia stopped by the TV station. The director called her in. The whole issue with her show being taken off the air? Fixed. Starting next week, she’d be back hosting the Saturday night financial news segment.
As for why things turned around, apparently someone from the Gilbert family had made a call. The director had put two and two together. Evelynn’s connections were no joke. No wonder she was so calm when her show got pulled. She wasn’t worried for a second.
Felicia also figured it out. Nate watched her show every Saturday. He must have noticed when she disappeared, looked into it, and quietly solved everything for her without even saying a word.

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....
