Darin grabbed her wrist with one hand and firmly pulled it away from his jaw. His eyes darkened as he spoke, his tone completely serious. "Savannah, you have many excellent options out there. People always have to look forward."
Savannah stared intently at him, her eyes gradually pooling with red as her breathing grew increasingly ragged. "If I were capable of simply looking forward, I would probably be married with a son and daughter by now."
Darin looked at her, letting out a soft sigh. "You could try changing your environment. There is no need to constantly trap yourself."
"Are you planning on never getting married for the rest of your life?!" Savannah demanded.
Though she loathed to admit it, she had spent the past several years silently keeping tabs on his romantic life. After they broke up, Andrea's friends had shown interest in him, and Andrea had intentionally encouraged her to stick close to Darin. Her goal had been to use that friend to monitor whether any uncontrollable women appeared around him. Eventually, that particular friend's family ran into trouble, and she was sent abroad. But all these years, Darin had remained completely alone. And she remained the only woman who had ever been in his life.
She hated him, and that hatred had twisted into a deeply ingrained obsession. No matter how many other men she interacted with, or how wonderfully they treated her, she could not force herself to accept them. She inevitably found herself comparing them to Darin, desperately wondering why Darin could not treat her the way they did. In the end, she simply could not force herself to be with anyone else.
"I currently have no plans to marry," Darin answered plainly.
"Just currently?" Savannah pressed aggressively.
"It is getting late," Darin deflected. "You should go eat breakfast."
"Answer me!" Savannah demanded, refusing to back down.
"I am sorry. I cannot give you what you want."
When Felicia eventually came back downstairs, she found Savannah sitting on the sofa, head bowed and completely silent. She walked over gently. "What did he say to you?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
