The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 892
Felicia looked at her friend. "He is heading back to Northwick tomorrow."
Meeting Felicia's gaze, Savannah merely shrugged and popped a piece of the orange she had just peeled into her mouth. "What does that have to do with me?"
"If we set aside everything involving Andrea, what kind of person do you really think he is?" Felicia asked suddenly. Now that she knew Darin's true identity, she found herself completely unable to reconcile the warm, protective older brother from her childhood memories with the man he was today. The two versions of him felt entirely fractured. Even though he was currently trying to make amends, burdened with guilt and constantly apologizing, she still could not merge the two images in her mind. That was exactly why she could not accept him.
Savannah paused, reaching over to grab a throw pillow and hugging it tightly to her chest. She tilted her head back, staring up at the ceiling as her thoughts drifted far away into the past.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, her tone incredibly serious. "Honestly, back then, I truly believed he was a man worth entrusting my life to. Besides his superficial qualities, he was emotionally stable. Whenever I needed help, he was always capable of solving my problems. Because of that, even when he constantly put Andrea first, I swallowed my pride and endured it."
A bitter smile touched her lips. "I actually went out of my way to suck up to Andrea just for Darin's sake. He was so protective of that sister of his that I honestly started to suspect he had some kind of twisted sister complex. No matter how angry I got, I told myself I had to endure it if I wanted to marry him."
Felicia took a glass of milk from the nanny and sat quietly, absorbing Savannah's words. It seemed that even the most exceptional women were far more susceptible to being blinded by love than men. It was human nature. Men often prioritized value and tangible benefits, while women perpetually chased after a sincere heart. Yet, countless cruel realities constantly reminded women that genuine affection was rare, and sincere hearts were all too easily changed.
"Perhaps the thing he truly cared about back then was not even Andrea herself," Savannah continued, her voice trembling slightly. "Even when we reached the engagement stage, I could feel that he still would not have married me even if Andrea had not been in the picture. But the moment the engagement was officially called off, I was consumed by such intense hatred. It was entirely unacceptable. I wanted nothing more than to drag him down to hell with me."
By the end of her confession, Savannah's voice had grown thick with emotion. "Now that I know everything, considering his precarious position within the Curtis family back then, getting married would have only dragged him down further. We were simply destined to cross paths but never meant to stay together."
Though her words spoke of letting go, her tone was still laced with unspeakable, lingering sorrow.
The living room plunged into silence once more. It was only after Savannah had visibly calmed down that Felicia gently probed further. "What about now?"

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....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
