Billionaire With Husband 531

Chapter 531

Felix and Averill jumped at the sudden interruption, finding Wendy standing in the doorway.

When her eyes met Felix's, Wendy realized how awkward the situation was.

"I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed before turning and fleeing.

Felix realized he had been so caught up in the night's passion that he had forgotten to close the bedroom door. Nonetheless, he was not too concerned.

"She-" Felix began, but Averill pushed him back down.

"Don't say another word about her right now. Let's continue!"

...

After their passionate encounter, Averill felt deeply satisfied. This time, she had been able to be with him as herself. She giggled and said, "Finally, I'm on equal footing with Leslie! I can't wait to tell her the good news!"

Felix shook his head, feeling like a prize being fought over. "Come on, Averill. You didn't just randomly show up at my place, did you?"

After all, Averill would surely be aware that he had recovered his strength. Hence, her sudden appearance surely meant there was something important.

Just as she finished pulling on her pants, Averill playfully stuck out her tongue. "You were so amazing that you made my mind go blank! I almost forgot why I came here!"

Though any man would be flattered by such praise, Felix was more curious about her actual

purpose.

"Someone used a Miracle Card. It wasn't urgent, and since I was going to see Mr. Hoffman anyway, I volunteered to let you know," she explained.

Felix sighed in exasperation. "Couldn't you have just called me about that? Why make the trip?"

gave

Averill him a seductive wink. "If I hadn't come in person, how would I have gotten this chance to seduce you? Some things are better discussed face to face, don't you think?"

Still wearing only pants, Averill suddenly knelt at the foot of the bed, licking her lips as she crawled toward Felix. "What's wrong? Haven't had enough? Still want more of me? I've got time.

Felix pulled the covers tight around himself, alarmed. "No need! Just tell me about the Miracle Card situation!"

"Humph! You're no fun!" Averill pouted, but after getting fully dressed, she continued, "The Miracle Card was activated in Azuria, scheduled for the 21st of this month."

Felix was surprised. "The Miracle Cards are going international now?"

Averill shrugged. "Why not? Mr. Hoffman only cares about the cards, not the people. Just go and do your job."

That made sense-perhaps someone had emigrated. "But Averill, Miracle Cards are usually used when someone's gravely ill, and it's typically urgent. Why schedule it this time? Could this be another Elder Council trap?"

He had every reason to be suspicious. The last time he dealt with a Miracle Card, he had run into Vilebane. If Karina had not shown up in time, he would have been dead,

After some thought, Averill replied, "With your current strength, you shouldn't worry too much. Still, Mr. Hoffman might have had the same concerns, so he asked me to give you this."

She pulled out a wrinkled yellow talisman from her pocket and handed it to him.

"What's this?" Felix asked skeptically.

"Don't underestimate it. It's an authentic Speed Talisman passed down through generations. Stick it on yourself, and your speed increases several times over. Perfect for quick escapes, and it's reusable, too." Felix brightened at this news. After all, having this was like having an extra life.

Once Averill left, Felix got up to find that Wendy was no longer at the villa. He did not bother contacting her. Since they were just friends, there was no need to explain himself.
