He honestly couldn't stand being in the same house with her anymore. But Felicia had stopped caring about that.
That day, she reached out to Savannah to check in. She’d meant to visit her at the hospital yesterday, but it just hadn’t worked out.
“It’s nothing serious. Once this last IV finishes, I can go home,” Savannah said.
Her stomach had acted up badly, so she’d needed two days of fluids. Felicia decided she’d go see her.
Right then, Greg called. He’d found her a driver, someone who’d just left the military last year. Driving cars wouldn’t be an issue for him. Greg sent her the driver’s contact info.
Felicia called right away. The driver was still at Greg’s office and would have to swing by Highfield Manor to pick up the car, so he’d need about an hour.
“Just let me know half an hour before you get here,” she told him. That way, she could take her time walking out, treat it like a walk to clear her head.
He agreed.
At ten thirty, Felicia headed to the front gate. The car pulled up just as she arrived. The driver stepped out and walked over. He was tall, maybe six feet, with a close-cropped haircut, strong jaw, and perfect posture. He looked like he’d just stepped out of basic training, all confidence and quiet strength.
Felicia got in. The driver handed her his info.
“Ms. Ross, here’s my file,” he said.
She scanned it. His name was Dean, twenty-eight years old, in the army since he was eighteen. Greg had set this up, so she trusted it was fine.
“How much is my brother paying you?” she asked.
“Twenty thousand,” Dean replied.
“You know I only need you for a while, right?”
He nodded. “Yes, I know.”
“Where are you staying now?”
“Pine Street. Takes around forty minutes to get here by car.”
“Are you renting?”
Darin hurried over to them.
“Let me,” he offered.
Andrea clung tighter. Max didn’t let go either.
“Let’s get in the car first.”
Darin gave up and stepped aside. Max carried Andrea toward the exit. When he passed Felicia, he didn’t even look at her. He walked by like she was just some stranger in his way.
Felicia told herself she didn’t expect anything from him anymore, but the moment still burned. She felt a wave of humiliation wash over her.
Darin caught the flash of hurt on her face.
Felicia quickly pulled herself together, took a deep breath, and headed for the elevators.
Darin stood there for a moment as she walked by, silent, before turning and heading out himself.

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....
