The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1012

"I just spoke with the Professor a moment ago," Felicia replied. "He should be coming down any minute now."

A few minutes later, Jeremy made his way downstairs. Felicia opened the door for him, noting that his expression was perfectly calm. There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. "Come on in."

Jeremy swapped his shoes for slippers and stepped inside. Spotting Savannah, he glanced around the living room and asked, "You didn't go looking for Darin?"

Savannah arched an eyebrow. "I'm not that desperate. I'll just wait for him right here."

Jeremy smiled faintly before offering a word of caution. "You might want to rein it in a little. Don't put too much pressure on him."

"Is his stress tolerance really that low?" Savannah scoffed.

"Just be mindful," Jeremy advised calmly. "Don't be too aggressive. It's always best to know when to pull back and when to push forward."

Savannah raised a brow, teasing him playfully. "Oh? Are you speaking from personal experience, Mr. Milman? Why don't you give me a live demonstration?"

Felicia helped carry the dishes to the dining table. Looking at the group, she called out, "Everyone, time for lunch."

After lunch, Jeremy stayed for a short while before taking his leave. An old friend who had recently returned from abroad happened to be in Cloudville, and they had arranged to meet up. The three women then took the two children to visit a local museum.

During the outing, Felicia received another call from Darin. He informed her that he needed to make a sudden trip back to Northwick. She frowned instinctively, but his tone did not sound like he was lying.

"What's the emergency?" she asked.
