Jeremy finally lowered his hand, turned around, and headed back upstairs.
Heather couldn’t help asking, “That was quick. What did you say to her?”
Jeremy walked over and said, “I think Felicia just needs some time to herself tonight.”
Heather let out a sigh. “Seriously, you’re giving up way too easily. Where’s your backbone? This is exactly when Felicia needs someone with her. Why are you backing off now?”
“We’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”
Heather just shrugged, looking defeated.
Felicia barely slept that night. She got up feeling groggy, went into the kitchen to get some water, and then the doorbell rang.
She set her glass down and went to open the door. Jeremy was standing outside.
“Hi,” she greeted him.
He noticed how tired she looked. “Did you sleep at all last night?”
Felicia nodded slightly. “Not really.”
“Wanna come upstairs for some breakfast?”
“Alright.”
She definitely looked pale today. Felicia put on a bit of makeup, got dressed, and headed up to Jeremy’s place.
As soon as she walked in, Heather called out, “Felicia, come have breakfast! JEremy actually cooked today, which never happens.”
“Good morning,” Yara greeted sweetly.
Felicia smiled, walked over to Yara, and patted her little head before sitting down beside her. She glanced at the table, which was filled with delicious food, and grinned. “Looks like I’m pretty lucky today.”
Jeremy hardly ever cooked since they had a housekeeper, but whenever he did, his food was amazing. Felicia had tasted it before and knew she was in for a good meal.
Jeremy placed bowls of oatmeal in front of everyone. “Make sure you eat plenty today.”
Felicia was starving after barely eating the night before. Sitting at the table with everyone, with Yara chatting beside her, made her forget her worries for a while.
Felicia locked eyes with Max for a second before he looked over at Jeremy.
Anne rushed up to Felicia, and Yara greeted her right away. The two little girls joined hands.
“Evelynn, why isn’t Aunt Heather here today?” Anne asked.
Felicia crouched down to explain, “She had something to take care of, so Uncle Jeremy and I brought Yara to school.”
Anne nodded. “Then can you pick me up after school today, Evelynn?”
Before Felicia could answer, Max spoke up. “Anne, we’re going to Mandy’s house tonight.”
Anne looked at her dad. “Can Evelynn come too?”
Max glanced at Felicia, then told Anne, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”
Anne grabbed Felicia’s hand, looking up at her with big hopeful eyes. “Evelynn, can you come with Daddy and me tonight? Please?”
“I have to work today, honey,” Felicia said softly. “I can’t go with you and Anne.”

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....
