"Looking very handsome today," Felicia said with a smile.
Luke's lips curved upward. "That hurts a little. Am I only handsome today?"
"You are just extra handsome today, of course."
"That is more like it. Let us go. Get in."
Since the temperature would drop in the evening, Felicia put her coat on. The staff placed her everyday clothes into a shopping bag.
Luke took the bag and her purse from the staff's hands.
Once inside the car, Felicia sat in the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt. Finally, she asked, "Where is the banquet tonight? Who is hosting it?"
Luke glanced at her. "He did not tell you?"
"I did not ask, and he did not say."
Their current dynamic felt weird but normal now. He explained, "It is a birthday gala for Mr. Tate."
Mr. Tate was a relative of Miranda, so the Hawthorne family maintained close ties with him. Aside from Miranda and Brysen, the rest of the family would usually attend these gatherings.
It was not an overly extravagant affair, mostly just a gathering of the Capital's most prominent figures.
"Jeremy probably received an invitation too, though who knows if he will actually show up."
Hearing this, Felicia paused in surprise. Jeremy had not mentioned anything about it to her.
Noticing her lack of enthusiasm, Luke asked, "Do you not want to go?"
Bringing Felicia to such an occasion officially validated her status within the Hawthorne family. His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
Felicia smiled helplessly. "I have no choice but to go now."
"If you really do not want to go, I can turn the car around right now. The food at the gala is not necessarily better than street stalls anyway. Honestly, it has been a long time since I ate at the snack street behind our university. I kind of miss it," Luke joked.
Felicia laughed. "One of the Hawthorne family and a big corporate boss, yet you are surprisingly down-to-earth."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
