Before they headed home, Felicia and Heather made a serious dent in the airport duty-free shops. It was the holiday and gifts were a must.
When they landed back in the Capital, it was already three in the afternoon. The city looked like a celebration come to life, dazzling lights hanging high overhead, every street soaked in that happy holiday energy.
First stop was Oakridge Estate. Felicia had brought gifts for Jeremy and Shannon.
Shannon smiled when she opened hers. “Felicia, you’re always so thoughtful. Thank you, I really love it.”
Felicia’s smile was soft. “I’m glad you do, Shannon.”
Jeremy, nursing an injury, had decided to stay in the Capital this year for the celebrations. No traveling, no hassle.
Heather agreed, throwing in a dramatic nod of support.
While Heather went off to her room and Shannon found some snacks for Yara, Felicia leaned closer to Jeremy. “Is there any news about Jett?”
Jeremy nodded. “He’s in the holding center now. After a few days of questioning, he took the blame for everything. Never mentioned anyone else behind it.”
Felicia frowned a little, twisting her fingers. “But there is someone else, right?”
Jeremy’s voice dropped. “Word from the States is that Holden’s definitely involved.”
Felicia's jaw tightened. She wasn’t surprised. Holden had every reason to pull something like this.
She hesitated. “And Trey—”
Before she could finish, Yara trotted over and pressed a piece of candy into Felicia’s hand. “Aunt Felicia, have some candy.”
Felicia smiled and took it, letting the questions go for now.
It was about time to leave.
Shannon tried to keep her for dinner. Felicia shook her head gently. “Maybe next time. I should get home.”
Felicia rolled in her suitcase. “Of course I did.”
She set the case down, and Luke reached to help. He popped the latches, revealing a packed suitcase, every inch stuffed to the top.
“What did you do, buy out the airport?” Luke laughed, crouching beside her as she started to dig through her things.
“Only the best stuff,” Felicia replied, handing him two boxes before turning to give another two to Greg.
Greg took his, curiosity piqued. “What are these?”
“Open them and see.”
Luke pulled off the lids. One box had a sleek watch, the other a solid men’s necklace. Greg’s set had a diamond pin and another watch, plus a bottle of cologne.
While the guys were still admiring their presents, Felicia brought out two sets of men’s skincare and a razor. “Just because you’re men doesn’t mean you can skip the self-care.”

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....
