Darin suddenly asked, “Did you get to the bottom of the Roen Capital thing?”
Max just gave a quiet nod.
He didn’t look interested, and Darin pretty much knew why. “I’m telling you, you should stay out of it. Felicia isn’t the type to want someone else repaying her debts. If you try, it’s only going to blow up.”
Max’s face tightened, but he stayed silent.
Darin didn’t push it. He didn’t stick around for lunch either.

Felicia went downtown first to pick up a gift, then took Anne straight over to the Oakridge Estate apartments.
They ran into Savannah in the parking garage.
“Hello, Aunt Savannah,” Anne called out politely.
Savannah couldn’t help herself—she swept Anne up into a hug.
Honestly, watching Anne and Yara together made her wish she had a daughter of her own.
The three of them headed upstairs.
Felicia asked how Savannah was doing.
“I’m okay, I guess.”
Felicia could tell she was just going through the motions. If Savannah had really moved on, she wouldn’t sound like that.
Felicia let it go, not sure what to say.
Upstairs, Shannon and Anthony were with Jeremy, who’d just gotten home from the hospital.
Since it was almost the holidays, family members kept dropping by. Adrian had already gone back to Northwick, so Shannon was the one looking after Jeremy.
Jeremy mostly needed bed rest now. It helped that he was on break, and Anthony was handling the overseas work so Jeremy could just focus on getting better.
Felicia’s heart twisted a little when she saw how much weight Jeremy had lost.
Jeremy seemed to pick up on her guilt. “It’s just a surface injury. I’ll be fine soon.”
Back when Heather lived with the Ross family, she worked out the most. Greg wasn’t the kind to be swayed by looks, and without him around, Heather had zero motivation.
Felicia smiled. “I’ll see what I can do.”
Heather huffed. “I mean, I wouldn’t say no.”
Once they finished picking bikinis, they wandered the mall for a while, had some afternoon tea, and ended up staying for dinner.
Back at Oakridge Estate, in the study, a maid knocked and stepped in. “Sir, dinner is ready.”
Max was just calling Anne. “Anne, have you had dinner yet?”
“We’re eating now. What about you, Daddy?”
“I’m about to. When are you coming home, Anne?”
“I’m not sure. Mommy’s still out with Aunt Heather and Aunt Savannah. They won’t be back for a while.”
“Alright,” Max said. “When Mommy gets home, have her call me, okay?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
