The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1014
Savannah leaned slightly toward Darin, her eyes drifting over the newspaper in his hands. "What are you reading?"
Darin turned his head to look at the woman leaning into his space. "Sit properly."
Savannah stared at him and huffed indignantly. "What a weirdo." Considering his performance just now had been highly satisfactory, she decided not to argue with him.
Leaning back into the plush sofa, she pulled her phone from her bag and texted Felicia: I ran into your brother in the departure lounge.
Felicia replied quickly: Okay. Send me a message when you land.
Savannah typed back: Will do.
As she lowered her phone, she caught Darin staring intently at her. She immediately understood what he was thinking. Crossing her arms, she arched a challenging brow. "What are you looking at? Are you really that afraid I'm talking bad about you?"
Darin looked away, remaining silent.
Savannah continued, "So it turns out you aren't entirely a block of wood. You actually spent the night at Felicia's place."
Felicia had not given her any specific details, merely mentioning that Darin stayed over. But Savannah knew Felicia would never actively invite him to sleep over. That meant Darin must have stubbornly insisted on staying himself. So, it turned out Darin was not exactly thin-skinned after all. His shamelessness just depended on the person and the situation.
Darin kept his eyes lowered, continuing to read his newspaper.
Savannah stared at him in disbelief. "Can you not open your mouth and say a single word?"
"You can talk. I'll just listen," Darin replied evenly.
A surge of irritation flared in Savannah's chest. She turned her head sharply away, entirely losing the desire to speak another word to him.
"Get in," Darin said. "I'll give you a ride."
Savannah stared at him. For several long seconds, they simply looked at each other in a silent standoff. Then, Savannah marched back over and climbed directly into the car. Darin gave her a brief glance, walked around the front of the vehicle, and got in on the other side.
The car slowly pulled away from the airport. Savannah stared out the window the entire time, not saying a word. The interior of the car was engulfed in total silence.
It was nine-thirty by the time they reached the city hospital. Darin stepped out of the car, instructed the driver to take Savannah home, and finally looked at the stubbornly silent woman in the backseat. Taking the initiative, he said gently, "Go to bed early when you get back."
Savannah turned to look at him, her expression softening. "I know."
Darin said nothing more. He closed the car door and turned, striding briskly toward the hospital entrance. The driver pulled away, taking Savannah home.
Darin took the elevator up to the intensive care unit. After asking the nurses for an update, he learned that Yvonne was still in the ICU, surrounded by specialized medical staff. Her vitals had finally stabilized, and she was scheduled to be moved to a regular private ward the following day.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
