The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 967

Darin paused mid-step, looking slightly caught off guard. "Yes, they are nice," he mumbled simply.

Savannah stared at his aggressively blank expression and pursed her lips in annoyance. "I arranged them myself, and that is the best reaction you can give me?"

Darin looked down at the bouquet again, then back at Savannah's thoroughly unimpressed face. He honestly couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. "Didn't I just say they were nice?"

Savannah rolled her eyes, deciding it was pointless to argue. "Whatever. As long as you don't hate them."

She spun around and confidently strutted toward the sleek Rolls-Royce parked at the curb, knowing full well it was the luxury car sent to pick him up. Halfway there, she stopped, glancing over her shoulder at Darin, who was still standing rigidly in place. "Are you coming or not?"

Darin finally snapped out of his daze and followed her to the car. Savannah didn't hesitate for a second before sliding right into the backseat beside him.

"I honestly thought you would fly straight to Cloudville to see Felicia," she noted as the car pulled away from the curb.

"I’m going to visit her in a few days," Darin replied evenly.

"How did Max react when he found out about the divorce?"

"He doesn't know yet."

Savannah blinked in genuine shock. Just as she opened her mouth to interrogate him further, her phone vibrated. She pulled it out of her designer bag and immediately smiled when she saw the caller ID. "Hey, Felicia."

"Savannah, when are you coming to visit? I want to make sure I have everything ready for you," Felicia's voice floated clearly through the speaker.

Savannah shot a mischievous look at the man sitting next to her. "Well, that entirely depends on your brother."

Darin visibly stiffened at the remark. Savannah watched his subtle reaction from the corner of her eye with immense satisfaction.

Felicia paused for a second before asking, "Are you two together right now?"

"Yup. He just landed, and we are heading back to the city. I actually took the day off just to pick him up, and I even watched online tutorials to figure out how to arrange his welcome flowers," Savannah complained loudly, ensuring every word landed.

Hearing Savannah's dramatic venting, Felicia couldn't help but smile. "I'm sure he is secretly thrilled."

One particular evening, Jeremy had to run out to meet a client. Mabel had already set the table for dinner, and Felicia texted him to ask if he would be joining her.

"Yes, I will be there in about half an hour. Go ahead and start without me, just save me a plate," Jeremy texted back.

"I will just wait for you. I'm not that hungry yet anyway," she replied.

"Alright."

Felicia asked Mabel to keep the food warm on the stove. She curled up on the sofa, gently petting Rusty and Marble. Outside, a massive thunderstorm had rolled in. Sheets of heavy rain battered the glass, accompanied by violently loud cracks of thunder. Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind blew the balcony door wide open, sending a freezing chill slicing through the living room. She quickly got up to pull it shut.

Just then, the front doorbell rang.

Assuming it was Jeremy, Felicia hurried over and pulled the door open. "Welcome back..."

The words died in her throat as an overwhelming, terrifying cold washed over her. She froze completely in place, staring in horror at the man towering in her doorway.
