The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1005

"I'll ask her tonight, then," Darin said.

Felicia looked away, deciding not to press the issue any further. Darin glanced at her, pressed his lips together, and then stared at the wall, his hands stuffed into his pockets. He looked slightly anxious.

The elevator arrived. Darin followed Felicia out and into the office, where she pointed out Jeremy's room.

"Alright, you go ahead and get back to work, Felicia," Darin said.

Felicia pushed the door open and walked into her own office. She had just sat down at her desk when her assistant knocked on the door. Setting the gift bag aside, she called out, "Come in."

The assistant walked in. "I've compiled this data report for you to review."

Felicia reached out and took it. As she flipped through the pages and immersed herself in her work, she completely pushed the thought of Max's gift to the back of her mind.

It was almost time to get off work when Jeremy knocked and entered. Darin was standing in the doorway as well.

"Are you finished with work for the day?" Jeremy asked.

"Just about," Felicia replied.

"Alright, we'll wait for you downstairs," Jeremy said. "We can go grab dinner in a bit."

"Okay."

Jeremy and Darin headed downstairs first. Half an hour later, Felicia finished up, packed her things, and took the elevator down. It wasn't until she stepped into the lobby that she realized she had forgotten the gift bag.

"Felicia," Jeremy called out.

Felicia looked over at them. Well, leaving it in the office was probably fine. She walked toward them.

Dinner was booked at a niche restaurant by Darin. Heather had also arrived with Anne and Yara.

"Hi, Anne," Darin said, greeting the little girl.

"Uncle Darin," Anne replied sweetly.

Darin leaned down and scooped Anne up into his arms. He turned to the others. "Let's go inside." And with that, he carried Anne into the restaurant.

Heather walked up beside Felicia and asked in a low voice, "Where's Savannah? Didn't she say she was coming with Darin?"

Felicia looked at Darin's back. "He came by himself."
