The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 243

Felicia stayed with her father at the hospital for a bit, but she didn’t linger. Ava gently told her to head home and take care of Sean.

“Okay,” Felicia agreed.

She left the hospital room with Luke. Her stomach reminded her she still hadn’t eaten lunch, so Luke suggested they grab something to eat together.

“Let’s have dinner with Greg tonight,” Luke said as they sat down.

Felicia shook her head. “I don’t think I can tonight.”

“Got other plans?” he asked, looking curious.

She decided to be honest. “I still owe Gavin a dinner. I promised I’d treat him tonight.”

Luke’s brows shot up. “Gavin’s here in the city?”

Felicia had spent five years in the States, and during that time, Luke visited her often. Once, he’d run into Gavin, who was clearly interested in Felicia. Gavin could pass for a movie star, with sharp jawlines and easy charm, and Luke remembered feeling a wave of jealousy he hadn’t expected.

Back then, Luke had even cleared his schedule at home just to stay close to Felicia, worried she might get swept off her feet. He’d told Gavin he was Felicia’s boyfriend, hoping to scare him off. But Gavin already knew Felicia was married. He just grinned and joked they should team up to get rid of Evelynn’s husband first.

That was when Luke finally realized Felicia had zero interest in Gavin, and he relaxed. The two men had ended up on somewhat friendly terms after that.

Felicia nodded.

“So, when’s he leaving?” Luke asked.

She smiled at him. “No idea. I’ll ask him tonight.”

“Alright,” Luke said, not sounding thrilled.

He knew Felicia didn’t have feelings for Gavin, but still, the idea of another guy hanging around her didn’t sit right. He silently wished Gavin would just head home soon.

After lunch, Luke drove Felicia back to her place. Greg was still at work, and Sean was home with the nanny. Felicia was going home to be with Sean

“I’m sure,” Felicia replied. There was nothing left to say to Max anymore. He wasn’t interested in working things out—he just wanted to make things difficult for her.

“Alright. Let me know when you’re available, and I’ll check with him.”

“I’m free on Wednesday. We could meet at Cameron’s office. He knows all the details, so we can talk everything through there.”

“Sounds good.”

Jeremy got back to her quickly. The lawyer was available on Wednesday afternoon.

“I’ll send you his number so you can contact him directly,” he said.

“Thank you.”

“He worked on Heather’s divorce case back then,” Jeremy added. “Your situation looks pretty similar to what she went through.”
