The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 525

Students all around stared at them, curiosity lighting up their faces. Everyone had assumed Luke and Felicia were a couple, but now the vibe between these two men was so complicated, no one could quite figure it out.

Felicia turned to a nearby girl and smiled. “Hey, could you help hold this for him? My hands are full with these clothes.” The girl blinked in surprise, then glanced up at the tall, good-looking man. Her ears turned pink in an instant.

Max shifted his attention from Felicia to the girl. He was unflappably polite. “Thank you, that’s very kind of you.” The girl’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly reached out to help. “No problem.”

Max then slipped off his watch and handed it to Felicia. His eyes were gentle as he looked at her. Felicia caught his gaze for a moment, then took the watch. Max’s lips curled into a faint smile. He turned and walked back toward the court. “Offense or defense?” he asked Luke.

Luke shrugged. “Either is fine.”

Luke ended up picking offense. They played round after round, neither backing down. It was clear these two were evenly matched. No matter who attacked or defended, it was almost impossible to tell who had the upper hand.

Felicia watched from the sidelines, nerves tight. Of course she was rooting for Luke to win, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away from the game.

Suddenly her phone started buzzing in her bag. She snapped back to reality, pulled it out, and saw who was calling. She stepped away from the crowd and found a quieter spot to answer.

“Hello, Jeremy.”

Jeremy started with some questions about work. When business was out of the way, he asked, “So, how does it feel being back for the anniversary?”

Felicia smiled. “It’s nice. I haven’t been back in years. Honestly, being a student was way easier than adult life.”

Jeremy laughed. “What, am I working you too hard?”

Felicia chuckled. “I’d never dare say that. There’s no better boss than you.”

“You might want to practice your flattery with Anthony before you try it on me.”

“My sincerity is so obvious. You really don’t hear it?”

“Not really,” he teased.

Felicia sighed dramatically. “A little more subtlety from the boss would be great. Otherwise, you’ll break your employees’ hearts.”

Jeremy laughed. “Alright, I’ll try to be more delicate next time.”
