“Alright, be safe,” Jeremy said. “Text me when you get to the Capital.”
“Okay.”
By five in the morning, Felicia was already at the airport. After checking in, she found her seat in business class, leaned back, and closed her eyes, hoping to catch a little rest.
She felt someone settle into the seat next to hers but didn’t bother to look. She kept her eyes shut until the flight attendant came around with breakfast. Only then did she open her eyes, and that’s when she realized the man beside her was Darin.
He caught her surprised stare and offered a polite, easy smile. “Hi Evelynn.”
Felicia quickly smoothed out her expression. She accepted the breakfast tray from the attendant and ate quietly, making it clear she had no interest in small talk.
Darin didn’t push. He turned his attention to his laptop, working through most of the two-hour flight. Felicia stayed quiet, resting.
The plane touched down at the airport right on schedule, just before nine. Darin stood and grabbed his laptop. Felicia got up too.
All of a sudden, her boarding pass slipped out of her bag and fell to the floor. As she bent to pick it up, she noticed Darin glancing back, his eyes landing on her ticket and the name printed there.
Felicia straightened, catching him looking at her. “Is there something you need, Mr. Foxhall?”
He gave a faint, easy smile. “No, not at all.”
Once they left the plane, Darin and his secretary moved ahead and disappeared into the crowd.
Felicia switched her phone out of airplane mode and found several missed calls from Anne and one from Max. She’d sent Anne a quick message before boarding, but clearly that hadn’t been enough.
As she walked out, she called Anne back.
Anne picked up right away, her voice shaky and thick with tears. “Mommy…”
Listening to all this, Felicia felt her mood sink lower and lower.
When it was over, the judge said the verdict would be announced another day.
Felicia stepped outside and spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce parked by the curb.
The door opened as soon as she appeared.
Max got out and walked straight toward her, acting like he didn’t even notice the stormy look on her face. He stopped right in front of her.
“Come on. Get in the car.”
From the outside, nobody would guess they were a couple on the edge of divorce.

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....
