The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 873

It was true that the most exceptional people often demonstrated the deepest respect for others, while those with nothing to their name tended to carry themselves with arrogant ignorance. Watching the pair walk away left the tourism staff feeling nothing but pure envy.

Around that same time, Felicia and Jeremy finally made it back to their hotel. The day had been utterly exhausting. After washing up and getting ready for bed, Felicia collapsed onto the mattress, her entire body aching with fatigue. Just as she was preparing to sleep, she picked up her phone to check her messages.

She had chatted with Anne that morning, mentioning her plans to go sightseeing. Anne had excitedly demanded to see pictures of the scenery. Felicia quickly uploaded the videos of the festival performances and the scenic photos into their group chat, knowing the little girl was likely already asleep at this hour. Just as she set the phone down on the nightstand, it suddenly began to ring. Max was calling.

Felicia swiped to answer. "Hello."

"Who did you go out with today?" Max asked directly.

Seeing no reason to hide anything, she answered with total honesty. "I went out with Jeremy."

"Just the two of you?" His tone was remarkably flat, making it impossible to read his emotions.

Felicia offered a quiet hum of confirmation. "Savannah was feeling under the weather, so she stayed behind."

"Are you not going home yet?" Max pressed.

"I am staying at a hotel tonight. I will head back tomorrow evening."

"How long is Jeremy staying in Cloudville?"

"I am not sure," Felicia replied honestly. "It depends entirely on his personal work schedule."

As her words faded, a heavy, suffocating silence fell over the line. Felicia gripped her phone tightly, waiting for him to speak. When no sound came, she finally broke the quiet. "If there is nothing else, I am going to hang up now. I really need to get some rest."

"Alright. Get some sleep," Max murmured.

The call disconnected. Felicia lowered her phone, staring at the darkened screen for a moment before placing it back on the nightstand and turning off the lamp. Perhaps because the day had been so physically draining, she managed to fall asleep almost instantly.
