Anne couldn’t stop talking about going skiing. Max, as usual, had everything planned out on his end. But for Felicia, it meant scrambling to find something last minute online. She managed to book a fancy hot spring hotel right next to a ski resort.
Felicia didn’t have her own ski gear, so she’d have to rent everything at the resort. Anne, though, had packed her stuff days ago and was all set. Honestly, Felicia felt a little overwhelmed at the thought of taking Anne by herself. Ski trips were always better with more people around. So she called Heather, who was instantly on board.
“Should I ask Greg to come too?” Heather sounded excited. “And maybe you can check if Jeremy’s free?”
Felicia shook her head. “He probably won’t have time today.” Jeremy had a big event to attend that afternoon, and after being away in New York, his work had piled up.
Heather let out a regretful sigh. “Alright, I’ll call Greg then.”
“Perfect.”
Heather called Greg right away. Ever since his company signed that huge investment agreement, he’d barely had a moment to himself. Even this morning, he’d gone straight to the office. Luke happened to be there with him when Heather called, and after a quick debate, the two guys decided to drop everything for some much-needed time off.
Heather couldn’t resist calling Jeremy one more time. “Hey, what’s more important, work or your love life?”
Jeremy already knew about the ski trip. “Just have fun, okay?” he said, clearly smiling.
Heather was on a roll. “Listen, Felicia might not be divorced yet, but you need to be ready. I seriously think she’s starting to like you. As soon as she’s single, you two could finally happen. You should take a page out of Luke’s book and be a little more proactive.”
Jeremy laughed. “Alright, I hear you. If I get a chance tomorrow, I’ll swing by.”
Felicia got Anne ready for bed, helping her wash up and get into her pajamas. As soon as Anne was under the covers, she grabbed Felicia’s phone and called Max for a video chat.
Felicia retreated to the bathroom to dry her hair. Over the sound of the hairdryer, she could just make out Anne’s excited shouts, calling for her dad. She figured they were just talking on the call. But when she switched off the dryer, she heard something else—actual laughter, echoing from the bedroom.
Startled, she stepped out and stopped in her tracks. Max was there, right in the room, with Anne perched on his shoulders, giggling as he spun her around. He looked so gentle, every bit the loving dad.
How did he even find them? Anne hadn’t called him once after they’d set off. Then it clicked. Of course, Anne’s smartwatch probably had a GPS tracker built in.
Felicia stayed where she was, quietly watching them. Max set Anne down on the bed, then looked over at Felicia. She’d just showered and was wearing a thin pajama set that showed off the lines of her figure. Her cheeks were still pink from the steam, giving her a soft, glowing look.

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....
