The more Ava listened, the more her face darkened.
She knew it. Anyone raised by Yvonne couldn’t be anything but trouble.
“Such a good brother, huh?” Ava’s words were tight, her anger barely contained. “So we’re just supposed to forget about what happened to Felicia?”
“Darin showing up to see Colton now isn’t a coincidence. Jeremy’s probably taking care of things. Luke’s already reached out to his brother too.”
Ava let out a long sigh. “Heather’s brother has always treated Felicia well. Both he and Luke are good men, the kind you can rely on.”
But Felicia ended up marrying Max.
Maybe it was just fate.
None of them wanted to get involved in Felicia’s future. She was still married, after all. When the divorce finally went through, her choices would be her own.
“And your father wants to invite him over for dinner. Imagine how Felicia will feel when she finds out her own brother is also Andrea’s brother.”
“I know.”
That would hit Felicia so hard.
Greg spoke up, his voice gentle. “Felicia’s had enough. Work is overwhelming, the divorce isn’t moving, and she’s already under so much pressure. We can’t pile more on. I’m really worried she won’t be able to handle it.”
The idea of Darin coming over was just too much. There wouldn’t be some happy, tearful reunion between siblings. Not now.
“She’ll find out eventually. But for now, we wait. This really isn’t the time.”
Ava nodded. “I get it.”
At the Oakridge Estate, Felicia unlocked her apartment door and stopped dead. Two men stood waiting in the hallway, and she stared at them, wide-eyed.
She’d just come home from working late.
Max pretended not to notice her obvious annoyance. He sounded completely casual. “Just bringing my wife some supper.”
He really was committed to playing the perfect husband.
Felicia didn’t even bother to answer him. Her eyes went straight to the insulated container in Jeremy’s hands. “Thanks, Jeremy. Can I have that?”
Jeremy handed it over. “It’s pumpkin soup. It’ll warm you up. Eat something and get some rest.”
Felicia nodded. “You too, Jeremy.”
Max stood off to the side, completely ignored.
Felicia shot him a cold look, took the container, and closed the door right in their faces. Neither of them had even stepped inside.
Jeremy didn’t glance at Max either. He just turned and walked away toward the elevator.

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....
