The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 922

Once she was ready, Felicia stepped out of the bedroom. Max was waiting outside. When he saw her emerge, his gaze fell squarely upon her, entirely unapologetic in its intensity. The moment Felicia met his eyes, she instinctively averted her gaze.

He walked up to her, a smile touching his lips. "You look beautiful."

Felicia offered no response to his praise. The man retrieved a small velvet box from his suit pocket and pulled out a diamond ring. Taking her hand, he slipped it onto her right ring finger. A matching diamond ring already rested on the ring finger of his left hand.

"I know you have a temper, so I took the liberty of wearing mine already," he murmured.

Felicia shot him a cool glance. "At least you are self-aware."

Max chuckled softly. "You really are hard to please."

Felicia ignored him.

"Let us go." Max laced his fingers through hers and led her out of the apartment.

They took the elevator down to the ground floor, where a Rolls-Royce was already waiting for them. Max helped her into the car while a staff member carefully arranged the train of her gown. Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the hotel hosting the gala. Stepping out of the car, Max guided her inside. The banquet hall was the epitome of extravagance. Elegant guests milled about, and the scent of expensive perfume mingled with the intoxicating aroma of fine wine that hung heavy in the air, creating an atmosphere dripping with opulence and indulgence. Truthfully, Felicia had never been fond of such events.

Max noticed her lack of enthusiasm, gently squeezing her hand. "We will not stay long. We will head back as soon as it is appropriate."
