"I know it is a bit presumptuous to bring this up, but I really have no other choice right now."
Even though they had been close years ago, they had barely kept in touch recently. Caroline knew Felicia might not agree to her request.
Felicia listened to Caroline in silence. She finally spoke up. "To be completely honest, things between Max and me..."
There was no love left.
But before she could finish her sentence, Caroline's phone buzzed on the dining table. Caroline quickly picked it up and gave Felicia an apologetic look. "I am so sorry, Felicia. Let me take this."
Felicia nodded.
Caroline answered the call. "Hello."
As she listened to the voice on the other end, her expression changed drastically. "Okay, I will be right there."
She hung up the phone, her voice filled with panic. "Felicia, I am so sorry. Rick is sick, and I need to go back immediately. I will treat you to dinner properly next time."
Felicia gave a soft hum of understanding. "Hurry back to him."
Caroline grabbed her purse, apologized once more, and hurried off to settle the bill before leaving.
Felicia was left alone to finish her dinner. As for Caroline's plea for help, she truly wanted to assist but simply lacked the power to do so.
The next day, Felicia went to pick up Anne from school. She met up with Heather, who had brought Yara along, and they all went to a nearby dessert shop for a quick bite. That was when she heard the news from the girls.
"Rick did not come to school today. The staff said he is sick. Mommy, should we go visit him?" Anne asked, looking up at Felicia.
Rick was a very introverted little boy. Because of his adorable looks, he had been swarmed by the girls on his first day. Perhaps out of jealousy over his popularity, some of the boys had tried to pick on him. Anne and Yara had stepped up to protect him.
It was on that very afternoon, while picking up Anne, that Felicia had bumped into Caroline.
"Well, let me call and ask first," Felicia replied.
"Okay."
Felicia took out her phone and dialed Caroline's number.

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....
