Back when she was tipsy, Savannah had blurted out a question. “Felicia, are you really over Max?”
Was she really over him?
Probably not.
But it wasn’t because she still loved him. It was because she couldn’t let go of the hate.
After they finished talking about work, Savannah left the office. Felicia went back to her files and reports.
A little while later, Anne came over holding her workbook. “Evelynn, I finished. Can you check it?”
Felicia took the workbook and flipped through it. Most of it was math problems and some poetry analysis.
The math was flawless.
She sat with Anne and went over the poetry questions again. Anne listened carefully, then quickly made the corrections. Once she was done, she knew Evelynn needed to work, so she quietly settled on the sofa with her tablet and started playing a game.
Around six, Felicia wrapped up her work and got ready to leave.
“Anne, let’s go see Yara.”
“Okay.”
Felicia packed up Anne’s little backpack, grabbed it for her, and took her hand as they left the office together.
They rode the elevator down to the underground parking lot. A car horn sounded.
Felicia led Anne over to Jeremy’s car. He was already out of the driver’s seat, opening the back door for them.
“Hi, Uncle Jeremy.” Anne greeted him politely.
Jeremy smiled. “Hey, Anne.”
Felicia helped Anne into the car, then got in herself. Jeremy pulled away from the company and drove them to Oakridge Estate.
Jeremy spent most of his time in his spacious apartment here. Heather and Yara were living with him for now. Felicia’s place was on the eighth floor, Jeremy’s was on the seventh.
They parked in the underground lot. Felicia got out with Anne, and the three of them headed toward the elevators.
As they crossed the garage, Kennedy was about to drive off but caught sight of them. When he saw Anne with Jeremy and Evelynn, he froze.
Kennedy wanted to ask more, but Max cut him off. “When will you get here?”
Kennedy let it go. “I’m heading out now.”
He’d finally managed to get Max to agree to dinner tonight, which hardly ever happened.
He hung up, looked in the direction the three had gone, tried to swallow the ache in his chest, and drove off.
Up on the seventh floor, Jeremy opened the door.
Felicia and Anne stepped inside.
“Anne, Felicia, hi.” Heather came out to greet them.
“Heather, is Yara feeling better?” Anne asked, looking up at her.
Heather crouched down with a smile. “He’s much better now. Thank you for asking, Anne.”
“Anne!” Yara ran over, his face brightening as he saw her.

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....
