The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 844

An inexplicable wave of dread washed over Yvonne. She honestly had no idea how she was supposed to face her son right now.

Leaning against the headboard, Andrea's face paled at the maid's words, and her fingers curled tightly into the bedsheets.

"Have them wait in the side parlor for now," Yvonne instructed.

"Yes, Madam," the maid replied before turning and leaving the room.

Yvonne looked over at Andrea and gently patted her hand. "You get some rest. I will go down and see what they want."

Andrea kept her eyes lowered, remaining completely silent.

Yvonne called Allen and asked him to come upstairs to keep his sister company. When Allen arrived, he immediately addressed his mother. "Mom, Darin is here."

"I know," Yvonne said softly. "Just stay here with your sister."

"Whatever you need to say to him, please talk it out properly," Allen urged. He held a deep respect for his older half-brother, but considering how hostile the relationship between Darin and Hank had become, Allen had no right to intervene.

Yvonne patted his shoulder reassuringly. "I know. Just chat with your sister and keep her distracted."

After giving Andrea a few final comforting words, Yvonne left the bedroom. Allen looked at his sister, noting her pale face and numb expression. He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and offered a gentle smile. "Andrea, there is really no need to torture yourself over this. There are plenty of good men in the world."

The sprawling parlor became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one spoke. Yvonne stood rooted to the spot for a long time, her mind completely blank and her feet glued to the floor. She could not bring herself to take another step forward.

Finally, Jeremy broke the silence. "Mrs. Curtis, we are here to attend Miss Curtis's engagement party."

Yvonne snapped back to reality. She looked at Jeremy and forced a stiff, agonizing smile. "Right. Please, have a seat."

She tried to turn back around, but her legs suddenly gave out. Her high heels wobbled, and she nearly collapsed. The maid reacted quickly, rushing forward to support her. "Madam, careful."

Leaning heavily on the maid, Yvonne managed to steady herself. Just then, Felicia slowly stood up from the sofa. Yvonne noticed the movement, and in that agonizing moment, she had absolutely no idea how to face her.
