Felicia drove Anne to the kindergarten.
When they arrived at the school, she happened to run into Heather, who was chatting with a young woman.
Spotting Felicia, Heather called out her name.
Felicia led Anne over, and the little girl greeted them politely. "Aunt Heather, Aunt Caroline."
Caroline's son had transferred to this kindergarten this year.
It was quite a coincidence.
Five years ago, during Felicia's pregnancy, Caroline had been her one on one yoga instructor. She had actually graduated with a degree in ballet.
When Felicia went abroad to study, the two of them had stayed in touch online. Caroline would give her advice on weight loss and body sculpting. Later, Caroline married into a wealthy family and moved to New York with her husband.
Felicia had continued training with her for another year. Whether it was body sculpting or cosmetic treatments, Caroline had customized every plan for her. Caroline had an incredibly good aesthetic taste. In terms of beauty and style, Felicia had essentially learned everything from her.
Because of her husband's business, they eventually left New York and settled in the UK.
After that, the two rarely kept in touch, only occasionally exchanging holiday greetings.
Felicia never expected to run into Caroline while dropping Anne off at kindergarten in the middle of last month.
Caroline had barely recognized Felicia.
It had been so long since they last saw each other, and they had ended up chatting for a long time.
Felicia learned that they had came back at the beginning of the year and would likely stay permanently. Her son, Rick, was a year younger than Anne. He took after Caroline and was an exceptionally handsome little boy. He was in the same class as Anne and Yara.
Felicia exchanged warm greetings with Caroline.
Afterward, the teacher led Anne inside the kindergarten.
Caroline pulled an invitation card from her designer bag and handed it to Felicia. "It is Rick's birthday this weekend. I would sincerely love to invite you and your husband to attend."
Felicia looked at the invitation, reaching out to accept it. "Thank you, we would love to come."
The group chatted for a few more minutes.
Jeremy set down the documents in his hand and softened his voice. "If you have any concerns, you can tell me directly, Felicia."
Felicia lowered her eyes. She wanted to say she had no concerns, but the words lacked conviction before they even left her mouth.
"It is about Anne, is it not?" Jeremy deduced.
If she went to Cloudville, she definitely would not be able to care for Anne anymore. That was the only thing weighing on her heart.
"Arranging for you to go to Cloudville was indeed too rushed," Jeremy assured her. "You can just go over temporarily to take charge of the work. You do not necessarily have to stay there long term."
Felicia reined in her emotions. She could not expect Jeremy to accommodate her every single time.
"Yes, I know."
"Take a nap during your lunch break," he suggested. "We can discuss this further in the afternoon."
"I am fine, Mr. Milman. You do not need to worry."
Jeremy gave her a deep look but did not press the issue. He stood up to get her a cup of coffee. "Let us continue, then."

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....
