The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 866

Felicia picked up the phone. The moment he spoke, her impatient voice immediately cut him off. "Max, can you just give it a rest for once."

Max paused, his fingers tightening slightly around his coffee cup. "Who upset you this time? Did work not go well today?"

Hearing his gentle, probing tone only intensified the restless frustration bubbling inside her, giving her nowhere to vent. She took a deep breath to steady herself. "What do you want?"

"Nothing much," Max replied smoothly. "Are you getting used to sleeping over there? Is there anything specific you are craving?"

Felicia's daily life in Cloudville was currently being managed from every possible angle. Her meals were carefully monitored by a nanny who adjusted the menu in real time, utilizing expensive ingredients flown in fresh from the source. She gripped her phone tighter as the man's voice drifted through the receiver again. "I sent over two bottles of fine wine that were just unsealed from the cellar. Try them out, and if you like the taste, I will send more."

"Max," she called out, her voice exceptionally heavy and serious. "You really do not need to do all this."

A brief silence hung over the line. After a few seconds, Max's steady voice returned. "Your body has not fully recovered yet, so do not overthink things."

After ending the call, Max set his phone down and immediately dialed Darin's number. The call connected almost instantly.

"What is it?" Darin asked.

Max cut straight to the chase. "You went to see her today?"

Darin hesitated for a fraction of a second. "How did you know?"

Nobody would have dared to report his visit to Max, and Felicia certainly would not have offered up that information willingly. Realizing Max was likely just guessing based on a recent conversation with Felicia, Darin silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Max noted the guarded tone and let out a faint smirk. "Why so tense?"
