Andrea had barely ended her call when she saw her mother walk in.
“Mom.”
Yvonne looked at her. “What’s Max up to?”
Andrea dropped onto the couch, sulking. “He’s off skiing with Anne. I don’t even know if Felicia’s with them.”
Just saying it made her jaw tense. If Anne wasn’t around, Max would have married her already. Instead, Anne’s existence meant Max had to spend time with Felicia, and the more Andrea thought about it, the more she hated Anne. If only Anne would disappear someday. If Max wanted a daughter, Andrea could give him one herself.
Yvonne reached over and squeezed her hand. “Stop overthinking. Listen to me, Andrea. Love from a man never lasts forever. You need to keep your head and focus on learning how to be the lady of the house.”
Yvonne had already pulled her out of Max’s company and set her up with all kinds of classes to start over.
“I know, Mom, I do,” Andrea said, but then she hesitated. “Wait, Mom, who were those two people we ran into today?”
That older lady looked so familiar, like she’d seen her somewhere before.
Yvonne didn’t hide anything. “That man is Darin’s father. Felicia is your brother’s real sister.”
Andrea froze, her eyes going wide. “What?”
She started to panic. “So… Darin…”
“Your brother doesn’t know yet,” Yvonne said firmly. “And he can never find out. You can’t mention Felicia in front of him, no matter what. Understand?”
A nervous chill ran through Andrea. She thought back to all the times her brother had been there. Thank goodness she’d never called Felicia by name in front of him.
She nodded quickly. Then worry crept in. “What about Max?”
“He knows.”
Andrea felt her heart drop.
“Don’t worry,” Yvonne said softly. “He hasn’t told your brother and he won’t.”
“Hi, Jeremy.”
“There you are,” Heather said with a smile.
Jeremy glanced at both of them. “Want to keep exploring?”
Heather shook her head. “Felicia still wants to take some pictures, and we haven’t reached the top yet. But I’m done climbing. Jeremy, you go with Felicia. I’ll wait here.”
The cable car only went halfway up the mountain. Heather had managed a short walk before giving up.
Felicia had stuck with her, but honestly, Heather’s stamina was even worse than Yara’s.
“You really need to check your weight,” Jeremy teased.
Heather made a face. “Felicia, did you hear that? I’m not talking to him anymore.”
Jeremy just laughed and turned to Felicia. “Ready to go up?”

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....
