Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 480

After two more days of rest, Mila's throat finally began to heal. Speaking still

brought a tickle, but at least she could talk normally again. The bruises on her neck hadn't fully faded, yet a touch of concealer did the trick.

Nothing that would stop her from going out.

With Leonard accompanying her, and gifts in hand, she set out for her appointment.

She was meeting Johnnie.

Both of them had a straightforward nature. They enjoyed a meal together, chatted about perfumes and the like, exchanged gifts, and parted ways.

Mila was never the type to accept something without giving back. She could tell, just by the scent, that the perfume Johnnie gifted her was a rare find. Though she'd tried to refuse, she still insisted on bringing a small present of her own and picked up the lunch tab, just to show her thanks.

Gift in hand, she headed straight to the old manor.

Part of her reason was that she hadn't seen Felicity in a few days—and she'd promised to bring her the perfume as soon as she got it. The other reason was Eugene; she wanted to see what she could do about his situation.

To her surprise, Conrad was there as well.

That saved her a trip to the company headquarters. If she wanted to take Felicity out, it was only reasonable to discuss it with Conrad first-especially considering everything that had happened. As for Felicity, Mila knew she was desperate to leave the house.

It wasn't the first time the subject had come up.

Mila understood why Conrad was so protective, why he kept Felicity cooped up. But if things kept going this way, Felicity's condition would only improve so much, and lately her urge to get out had grown fiercer as her memories faded.
