The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 914

Jeffrey's low chuckle drifted through the speaker. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

"What do you want?" Max demanded.

"Tell your wife to stop meddling in other people's business."

Those words cleared the last remnants of sleep from Max's mind, though his voice retained a lazy, early-morning drawl. "You cannot even control your own people, yet you blame others for meddling?"

"At least I am doing better than certain men who cannot even manage their own wives," Jeffrey retorted smoothly.

Max's dark eyes instantly turned icy. A cold laugh escaped his lips. "It is a pity that my marriage is completely legal and legitimate."

"I have a feeling you won't be able to say that for much longer," Jeffrey countered softly.

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?"

"My stance remains exactly the same." With that cryptic remark, Jeffrey ended the call.

Leaning back against the headboard, Max tossed the phone aside, now thoroughly awake. He ran a hand through his messy hair and opened his messages. Felicia still had not replied. She really was hopelessly stubborn.

Back in the Capital, Felicia spent a little more time comforting Willa before Anne came looking for her. After a few reassuring words, Felicia bid Willa goodbye and headed out. Luke planned to stay until Willa was fully settled before leaving.

Upon returning home, Felicia found Darin in the courtyard, looking intensely serious as he finished up a phone call. Seeing Felicia, he quickly wrapped up the conversation and hung up.

"Uncle Darin!" Anne called out brightly.

Walking over, Darin crouched down and affectionately ruffled her hair.

"Good girl." Standing up, Darin turned his attention to Felicia. "Did something happen over at Luke's?" He had spotted Jeffrey leaving the villa earlier, knowing full well that those two men rarely crossed paths.

"Ivy asked Luke to look after her sister for a bit," Felicia explained.

Darin's expression immediately shifted. Noticing his reaction, Felicia asked, "What do you know about this?"
