Dinner was a quiet affair. Felicia shared the news that she had successfully transferred the company shares, but she left out everything else about her trip.
Ava finally let out a relieved sigh. “That’s great. You’ve already got so much on your plate. From now on, just stay here. We really miss you.”
Greg nodded in agreement. He didn’t want Felicia to push herself too hard either.
For the next three days, Felicia stayed home, catching up on sleep and shaking off her jet lag. She kept checking in on the latest financial news from New York and sometimes messaged Jeremy. Luke, on the other hand, couldn’t take it easy. He’d been gone so long that there was a pile of work waiting for him at the company.
Every day at lunchtime, Felicia would show up at his office with food. Ava had been making him nourishing soups, and after a few days of this routine, Luke was looking a lot better. He could use his arm to write again, though he still couldn’t lift anything heavy.
Savannah and Heather came over after hearing Felicia was back. When they saw she was safe and sound, Heather finally relaxed.
A few days later, Felicia went with Luke to the hospital for his checkup. As they walked into the main lobby, she spotted two familiar faces heading their way. Felicia frowned when she realized it was Rose and Andrea’s mother. Why were they together? Then she remembered that Mrs. Curtis was close friends with Tatiana, so it wasn’t really that surprising.
Yvonne looked Felicia up and down for a second, then quickly averted her gaze like nothing happened.
Luke walked up to them. “Mom, what are you doing here?”
Rose looked between her son and Felicia. “I’m fine. I’m just here with a friend. Is your arm still not better?”
Luke had already visited home since he returned, so Rose knew he’d been hurt. “It’s almost healed. I’m just here for a follow-up.”
Felicia walked over to greet her. “Hello, Mrs. Hawthorne.”
Rose gave a polite nod.
“Luke!” Rose snapped.
“Mom, I’m going to my appointment. I’ll leave you to it.” Luke turned to Felicia. “Let’s go.”
He walked off without looking back. Felicia gave Rose a small nod and hurried after him.
Yvonne stood in place, her face dark with embarrassment and anger.
Rose glanced over. “Are you alright, Yvonne?”
Rose already knew about Max and Andrea. Yvonne just wanted her daughter to marry Max officially. What surprised Rose was that Max and Felicia still hadn’t gotten divorced. Max had always been proud, always needed to be in control, but now even his marriage was slipping through his fingers. Maybe that was why he was so resentful of Felicia. The fact that they were still married probably had something to do with Anne. Tatiana couldn’t meddle in Max’s marriage or his personal life, and as his aunt, Rose certainly had even less right to comment.

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....
