The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 921

"How have things been lately?" Felicia asked.

"Nothing has changed," Gavin replied casually. "Still doing the exact same things I was doing before."

Felicia gave a mild hum and did not press further. They exchanged a few more pleasantries before wrapping up the conversation.

"See you tonight?" Gavin asked just before hanging up.

Felicia paused, momentarily confused. "What do you mean?"

"Max has not told you yet? There is a gala tonight," Gavin explained.

"I was not aware," Felicia admitted.

"He is definitely going to bring you along," Gavin said with a laugh.

After the call ended, Felicia did not bother calling Max to verify. She spent the entire day resting in the penthouse. Around four in the afternoon, she received a text message confirming her flight for two o'clock the next afternoon. Instinctively, she went to double-check her passport.

Before she could, the butler approached her with a respectful bow. "Ma'am, the evening gown Mr. Hawthorne prepared for you has arrived."

Given Gavin's earlier hint, Felicia was not surprised, but she had absolutely no desire to attend any gala. She directly dialed Max's number. When the call connected, the man's warm, magnetic voice came through.

"Hello," Max said.

"I am not feeling well," Felicia said flatly. "You can go to the gala by yourself."

Max's tone immediately shifted to one of concern. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

He knew perfectly well what he had done last night. While she was not exactly in agony right now, she simply did not want to move.
