The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 868

When the wedding officially began, the hosting family seated Felicia and Darin right next to each other at the primary table. As the bride and groom proceeded with the ceremony, many guests raised their phones to capture the joyful moments on video.

Felicia sat quietly in her seat, observing the lively and happy atmosphere. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Darin had also raised his phone and started recording. She could not help but shoot him a suspicious glare.

Darin caught her look and smiled faintly. "What?"

Felicia averted her gaze, ignoring the question entirely as she picked up her glass and took a sip of juice. Once Darin finished recording a short clip, he lowered his phone and immediately forwarded the video.

It was the early hours of the morning on the streets of New York. Max was on his way back to his hotel when his phone buzzed with a message from Darin. He opened it to find a video showing the bride walking arm in arm with the groom toward the main stage, set to an incredibly joyful and upbeat background track. In the footage, people could be seen occasionally glancing toward the camera's direction. Even the groomsman trailing behind the couple was so distracted by the sight of them that he nearly tripped. In the very last second of the clip, the camera flashed to reveal the side profile of the woman sitting beside the recorder.

Max let out a low chuckle as the video ended. He dragged the progress bar back to pause precisely on that final second. The woman on the screen was staring blankly at the stage, her expression completely flat and devoid of any real emotion.

Back at the banquet, Darin put his phone away without waiting for a response, turning his attention back to the newlyweds delivering their speeches on stage. Naturally, Max never sent a single word in reply.

Once the banquet feast commenced, extravagant layers of rich food were piled onto the large table. Since it would be impolite for Felicia to spin the lazy Susan constantly, she simply ate the dishes placed immediately in front of her. Darin took the initiative to serve her himself.

"The prime roast beef is excellent today. Try some," Darin suggested gently.

Felicia stared at the slice of roast beef now sitting in her bowl. She remained completely silent but eventually ate it without protest. Seeing that she did not toss the meat aside brought a wave of quiet relief and satisfaction to Darin.

Throughout the meal, the elders at the table struck up conversations with Darin. Felicia would occasionally offer brief answers when directly addressed, but the topic inevitably drifted back to the siblings' romantic and marital statuses. The moment they realized Darin was still unmarried, the matchmaking attempts began in earnest.
