The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 863

Below the message was a photo taken outside the airport. The sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and soft clouds drifted lazily across the blue expanse.

She was just about to type a reply when her phone began to vibrate. It was a call from Max.

She answered it, and the man's deep voice came through the line. "Are you awake?"

"Just got up," Felicia replied.

"Where's Anne?"

"In the bathroom."

"Are you heading to Cloudville by yourself tomorrow?"

"Someone is coming with me. We're going to get settled in for a few days first."

Max didn't ask any further questions about her companion. "Everything is arranged on that end. Someone will contact you tomorrow and pick you up from the airport. You can just head straight to the apartment and settle in."

He had originally made the arrangements under the assumption that Anne would be going with her. Knowing she was going alone, Felicia ultimately chose not to say anything.

Silence stretched between them. Through the quiet, Felicia could faintly hear music playing in the background on his end. "Are you at a dinner party?" she asked.

"Gavin invited me," Max replied.

Felicia didn't pry any further. Just then, Anne emerged from the bathroom, and Felicia called out to her. "Come here, sweetie."

Anne trotted over to her mother. "Are you on the phone with Daddy?"

Felicia handed the phone to her, and Anne happily chatted with her father for a few minutes.

"All right, let's go have breakfast now," Felicia gently coaxed.

The apartment was a stunning three-thousand-square-foot duplex. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a spectacular, unobstructed view of a vast, tranquil blue lake. It wasn't far from the Roen Capital branch office, which sat just across the lake, about a fifteen-minute drive away. Tommy was staying in the same city but in a completely different district, giving her plenty of space.

Three domestic workers had already been hired to take care of the household. They were all professionals in their thirties or forties, highly trained in every aspect of household management. Everything had been flawlessly arranged. All Felicia needed to do now was rest. She lay back on a plush beanbag chair in the bedroom, quietly admiring the scenery outside her window.

It had been many years since she last visited Cloudville, and the city's development was truly astonishing.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Max. [I've arrived. The arrangement here is wonderful. Thank you.]

She exited the chat app right after hitting send, figuring he was probably asleep by now given the time difference.

The housekeeper prepared a delicious dinner. After she finished eating, her phone rang. It was Max. His voice was laced with the husky, lazy drawl of someone who had just woken up. "I’m glad you like it."

"Well, you should get out of bed then," Felicia said.

Just as she was about to end the call, the man suddenly asked, "Can you guess what I'm doing right now?"
