The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1118

Willa looked at him with bright, clear eyes. Her expression carried the nervous, eager anticipation of a woman gazing at someone she deeply admired. Luke finished his bite and nodded. "This is genuinely delicious. It is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so."

Willa's eyes instantly lit up at his praise. Luke finished the rest of the cake and offered her an encouraging smile. "Baking is a wonderful way to pass the time when you have a free moment."

Willa nodded in agreement.

"You do not need to just stand there. Come have a seat." He patted the empty space beside him on the sofa. Willa sat down. She instinctively wanted to lean closer to him, but she hesitated and subtly shifted an inch away instead.

"Have your eyes been bothering you at all lately?" he asked.

"Not at all," Willa replied. "I actually feel like I can see much more clearly now, which is why I took my glasses off." Her vision had always been relatively normal, and she had only worn the glasses as a protective measure.

"I will take you in for a follow-up checkup tomorrow," Luke offered.

"Will that interfere with your work?" she asked. She knew how incredibly busy he had been lately. He had already delayed so much of his schedule just to help her, and a lingering sense of guilt weighed heavily on her heart.

His expression softened into a gentle smile. "Not at all. I have plenty of time tomorrow."

Willa nodded, her worries slightly eased. "Alright then."

Felicia sat nearby, quietly observing the two of them. She could not help but feel a little like a third wheel. "Well, I will leave you two to chat," she said, standing up. "I need to head upstairs and pack a few things."

Luke glanced over at her. "Are you heading out?"

"Yes," Felicia replied. "There are a few things I need to take care of, so I am going back to the Ross family estate for the day."

Luke did not press for details. "That works out well. I was planning to catch up with Greg tonight to discuss a few things anyway."

"Sounds like a plan," Felicia agreed.

She made her way upstairs and changed her clothes. Standing before the full-length mirror, she rested a hand on her lower abdomen. The slight bump was now visibly noticeable, much more pronounced than it had been just days ago. Once she finished gathering her belongings, she headed back down the stairs. She found Luke standing alone in the living room, wrapping up a phone call that sounded like a matter concerning the company. As she reached the bottom step, he lowered his phone.
