The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 55

“I’ve got a document from our German office and I was hoping you could take a look at it for me,” Luke said.

Felicia nodded. “Sure, just send it over when you get a chance.”

Luke smiled, picked a shrimp, and dropped it into her bowl. “Thanks, Felicia. I owe you one.”

Rose caught their exchange and looked over. “What is it about, Luke?”

Luke grinned. “Just asking her for a little help.”

Rose gave him a look. “Can’t you see how pregnant she is? Don’t go running her ragged.”

Felicia just smiled gently. “Really, it’s nothing. Just a small favor.”

Rose had always been pretty nice to her, since Felicia wasn’t wrapped up in the family’s business or reputation. Sometimes Rose would even agree with Miranda and say a few kind words in her favor.

“Luke and Felicia really do get along,” Kate remarked. Kate was Daniel’s wife, making her Luke’s sister-in-law.

“They went to the same school,” Rose explained. “The year they graduated, Felicia was the city’s top scorer. Luke was just one point behind her.”

Miranda had found this out during a background check. When Rose heard Felicia’s name, it rang a bell. She remembered being disappointed that her own son missed out on first place by just one point, so the name stuck with her.

Felicia might not have had the looks, but she was smart and capable, the kind of woman who could be a real partner for Max. It was a pity he didn’t see her that way.

But then again, Max was a genius among geniuses. Maybe Felicia’s smarts just didn’t faze him.

Kate smiled in understanding. “Wow, fate is funny sometimes.”

Luke let out a dramatic sigh. “Seriously. Who’d have thought she is now my aunt-in-law?”
