A faint, mocking smile touched Felicia’s lips. “Too bad. I can’t do that with you.”
“I know. But that’s okay. We can take our time.”
He pulled his hands back and sat down beside her, reaching for her hand again. His thumb traced idle patterns on the back of it.
He asked softly, “Are you going back to the Capital tomorrow?”
Felicia didn’t respond.
Silence descended upon the room again, so thick you could almost hear their breathing.
After a long while, Max glanced at the dining table. “The food’s cold. Would you like to go out and eat?”
Felicia pulled her hand away. “You should go.”
Max looked at his empty hand. He didn’t insist on staying. “Alright,” he said, looking at her. “Get some rest tonight. Don’t overthink things.”
With that, he stood, walked to the door, and left.
Downstairs, he ran into Jeremy, who was just entering the lobby. Jeremy saw him too.
Their eyes met for a brief second before Max looked away and walked past him without a word, exiting the hotel.
Jeremy paused for a moment before heading toward the elevators.
When he reached Felicia’s room, a staff member was just coming out, clearing away the dinner trays. He noted that the food had barely been touched.
He stood at the door and knocked gently.
When Felicia saw it was him, she quickly composed herself. “Jeremy. Hi.”
Felicia nodded.
They went down to the hotel restaurant and had a small meal.
After they returned, Felicia went to bed early.
Her flight was at ten-thirty the next morning.
She left the hotel at eight. Jeremy walked her downstairs, originally planning to drive her to the airport.
But then Max arrived at the hotel, holding two boxes of pastries. He walked straight toward Felicia.
Felicia just looked at him.

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....
