The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 869

The car plunged into total silence. After an indeterminable amount of time passed, Felicia finally spoke again.

"Why did you break up with Savannah back then?" she asked.

Darin kept his hands steady on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "I admit. I hurt her. The reality was that I simply could not get married at that time."

When Andrea threw her massive fit, Darin had conveniently used the chaos as an excuse to completely call off his own engagement. He did not care if Savannah ended up hating him, because that hatred would allow her to move on safely and find someone else. Back then, he could sacrifice absolutely everything, including his own heart. A man with nothing to lose had nothing to fear, but the moment he had a family and weaknesses, his hands would be tied. Staying together would have only brought her immense danger.

"So what do you think of her now?" Felicia pressed.

After so many years, Felicia could clearly see that Savannah still harbored deep feelings for Darin. If she did not, she would not have dated so many different men only to refuse to settle down with any of them. If Savannah had truly forgotten him, she would have been married with children a long time ago.

The traffic light turned red. Darin eased the car to a halt and spoke with utter calmness. "I am not considering my own matters for the time being. Like I said, I am going to wait until you are fully stable before I even begin to think about my own life."

He turned his head to look at her. Felicia met his gaze silently. After a few long seconds, she looked away, dropping the subject entirely.

The light turned green, and Darin pressed the accelerator, smoothly guiding the car back down the street. Once they returned to the residential complex, Felicia headed straight upstairs to her apartment. Darin returned to his own place, sinking into the living room sofa. He pulled out his phone and opened his messaging app. Unsurprisingly, Max had not replied to his provocative message.

When evening arrived, Darin shamelessly headed over to Felicia's apartment to score a free dinner. The nanny opened the door, took one look at him, and spoke directly. "Sir, are you Miss Ross's brother?"

Darin paused for a second before nodding. "Yes, I am. I came to see my sister. What is she doing right now?"
