He glanced away and pulled the car into the villa.
Felicia drove off the estate with Luke in the passenger seat.
Luke watched her for a moment, then asked, “Do you think he knows it’s you?”
Felicia kept her eyes on the road, completely calm. “If he hasn’t said anything, let’s just pretend no one knows.”
Even Amber had her suspicions today. And Max, being as sharp as he was, definitely wouldn’t miss a thing. He adored Anne. When it came to Anne and Andrea, Anne was always first in his heart. Now that Anne liked her so much, Max didn’t try to stop it. As long as she could see Anne and spend time with her, she figured it was enough.
Luke didn’t push any further. He knew Felicia had her own way of handling things.
“So, are you free tomorrow afternoon?” he asked.
“I should be after two, unless something unexpected comes up.”
“Perfect. Let’s go skydiving,” Luke suggested, grinning.
Felicia shook her head. “Probably not. I promised Anne we’d hang out tomorrow. She wants to fly kites.”
“Then let’s go for kite flying.”
“Sounds good.”
The next morning, after finishing her work, Felicia called Anne.
She drove over to the villa, and Anne was already waiting outside with her little backpack on, ready to go.
Max walked Anne out to the gate and handed Felicia a container. “I packed some snacks and fruit for her. Her water bottle has enough for today. Don’t let her eat too much, and absolutely no ice cream or sugary drinks.”
Anne puffed up her cheeks. “Daddy’s so mean. He never lets me have ice cream.”
Felicia ruffled Anne’s hair, making a mental note of everything Max said.
“Have her back before seven,” Max reminded her.
Felicia met his eyes, her gentle look turning a little more serious. “Okay,” she replied quietly.
Anne happily climbed into Felicia’s car and waved at her dad. “Bye-bye, Daddy!”
They went into the living room and found Jeremy already there.
On the way home, Greg had called, so Felicia knew Jeremy was over at the Ross family house. Jeremy’s parents, Adrian and Shannon, would be arriving in the city tomorrow, so Jeremy was picking up Heather and Yara. Colton and Ava insisted everyone eat dinner together.
Jeremy had arrived around three, but Felicia hadn’t been home.
“Hi,” Felicia greeted him.
Jeremy smiled faintly, his gaze drifting over her and Luke.
Luke headed for the sofa, sat down, and said hello to Jeremy and Greg.
“Felicia, you’re back,” Heather said. “Where did you two go this afternoon?”
“I took my daughter to the park to fly a kite,” Felicia answered.
Greg and Heather already knew Felicia had spent time with Anne the day before.

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....
