Ava always liked Heather. She could easily tell what was on Heather’s mind, and honestly, she had zero problems with Heather and Greg getting together.
Heather was Jeremy’s little sister. Even though Heather was a single mom, Ava still felt her son was the lucky one in this match. At last, she could stop worrying about her son’s love life.
Heather nudged Ava. “Go try on the new clothes and show us.”
Ava gave in with a helpless smile and headed off to change.
They’d bought three dresses and two cute jackets, all of them perfect for Ava.
Colton came downstairs just as Ava stepped out.
Heather piped up, “Doesn’t Ava look amazing?”
Colton’s eyes lit up seeing his wife. He didn’t hold back, showering her with compliments. Anne and Yara joined in too, and Ava’s cheeks turned bright red from all the praise.
The living room felt warm and lively, laughter filling every corner.
After a while, Felicia and Heather took the girls upstairs to get them washed up for bed.
Tonight, everyone was having a big sleepover.
Once Yara and Anne were finally asleep, Felicia and Heather settled back against the headboard. Heather glanced at her phone and broke the silence. “Greg and Luke aren’t back yet. Should we call and check in?”
Felicia shook her head. “Luke already called. They’re in Macau.”
Heather’s eyes widened. “Macau? What are they doing all the way there?”
“Brock’s there too. We’ll find out what’s going on once they get back.”
Heather breathed out, trying to reassure herself. “I just hope everything goes okay.”
That night, Felicia barely slept.
Max’s words from earlier kept replaying in her mind, like a heavy stone pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Anne kicked off her covers in her sleep.
Felicia reached over and gently tucked the blanket back around her. Watching her daughter’s peaceful face, Felicia’s heart felt a little lighter.
Max didn’t waste time. “Come to my office. Ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Felicia immediately thought of Northstar Dynamics. They needed to talk about it, whether she liked it or not.
“Fine,” she replied, just as coldly.
She hung up without another word.
The next morning, Max showed up at the house at eight sharp.
Anne and Yara were still at the table, finishing breakfast.
Ava and Colton both felt tense knowing Max was outside, but for Anne’s sake, they kept their feelings hidden.
After Anne finished eating, Felicia helped her with her backpack and walked her to the door.
Max was already out of the car, waiting.

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....
