Since they were already here, heading up to the summit felt like a must.
Felicia nodded in agreement.
Jeremy gave Heather a few instructions before he and Felicia started up the mountain path together.
Once they were out of sight, Heather took the cable car down, sent Jeremy a quick text to check in, and skipped the ski resort altogether. She figured Yara and Greg could use some time alone, so she went straight back to the hotel, stretched out on the bed, and scrolled through her phone for a while—sometimes a change of scenery was all you needed.
Meanwhile, Felicia and Jeremy climbed steadily, taking their time. The stone steps were slick, so they walked slowly, and Jeremy kept a careful eye on Felicia to make sure she didn’t slip.
But Felicia was steady on her feet, thanks to years of working out. Her boots gripped the ground easily, so the climb didn’t bother her at all.
Suddenly, a girl ahead of them lost her balance. She slipped and stumbled backward, right toward Felicia.
Jeremy moved without thinking. He wrapped one arm around Felicia’s waist, pulling her close, while his other hand shot out to steady the girl before she could fall.
The girl caught herself, but she looked rattled, standing there trying to catch her breath.
Jeremy glanced down at Felicia, his arm still around her. “You okay?”
Felicia looked up at him and nodded. “I’m fine.”
Jeremy let her go.
The girl who’d slipped turned around and stared at Jeremy, surprised. Even though she couldn’t see his face clearly, his presence was hard to ignore.
“I’m so sorry. Thank you so much,” she blurted out, her voice a little shaky.
Jeremy offered a small smile. “The path’s pretty slippery. Just be careful.”
His deep voice seemed to catch her off guard, and when she glanced at Felicia standing next to him, she seemed even more impressed.
Felicia and Jeremy stepped around her to continue up the path.
“Wait, could you please hold on a second?” The girl called out.
Jeremy accepted the card. “Thanks.”
She wandered off down the path.
Jeremy handed one of the photos to Felicia, who took it and slipped it into her pocket.
They kept walking.
“I saw some videos online,” Jeremy said, glancing at the sky. “The sunrise and sunset up here look incredible.”
“I was actually planning to watch the sunset today,” Felicia replied.
The original plan was to hang out at the bottom of the mountain during the day, then come up for the sunset in the afternoon.
But then Max showed up and threw everything off.
Jeremy smiled. “Well, since we’re here, it’d be a shame to miss it. We can text Greg and they can come up and join us later.”

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....
