The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1113

Willa nodded softly. "Yes, very well."

"That is wonderful," Felicia replied. "Would you like to go for a walk outside?"

"I would love to."

The two women strolled leisurely through the lush gardens. After a comfortable silence, Felicia finally broached the subject. "Willa, may I ask you a few questions?"

She replied earnestly. "Please, ask whatever you would like."

Felicia smiled. "Alright, Willa. How exactly do you feel about Luke right now?"

Willa lowered her eyes, her fingers curling tightly into her palms. Even though she had anticipated this question, a faint, undeniable blush crept across her cheeks. She remained quiet for a long moment before speaking in a hushed voice. "Luke is an incredibly gentle and kind person." She bit her lip, struggling to find the right words. "I am just so terrified of causing trouble for him."

Felicia watched her closely, easily reading the deep-seated anxiety and guilt swimming in the young woman's eyes. Willa's reaction told her everything she needed to know.

"Luke is indeed a wonderful man," Felicia said reassuringly. "If he is willing to help you, it is because he believes you are worth helping. He would never see you as a burden."

The tips of Willa's ears burned an even darker shade of red. Overwhelmed by Felicia's kindness, she found herself entirely at a loss, unsure of how to navigate the complicated path stretching out before her.

"Let's go sit over there," Felicia suggested with a gentle smile.

"Okay."

They settled onto a wooden bench overlooking the serene lake, the crisp breeze of the early autumn morning washing over them.

"We have two guests coming over today," Felicia mentioned casually. "Luke's sister-in-law, Kate, and his aunt-in-law, Amber."

Willa froze. She turned to Felicia, genuine panic flashing in her eyes.

Felicia reached out and gave her hand a comforting squeeze. "We are just having a casual get-together so you can meet them. There is no need to worry."
