The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 867

The weekend arrived the next morning. Felicia finished getting ready and opened her front door, only to find Darin already leaning against the hallway wall, waiting for her.

Seeing her step out, Darin smiled and raised a hand in greeting. "Good morning, sister."

Felicia instinctively frowned at the overly familiar address. Darin acted as if he had not noticed her displeasure at all.

"Let’s go," Darin said smoothly. "The timing is just about right."

Felicia offered him a brief glance before retracting her gaze, choosing to remain silent as she followed him down to his car. The wedding banquet was being held at a suburban ecological manor, which was about an hour away by car.

Throughout the drive, Felicia kept her eyes fixed on the scenery rolling past the window. Darin struck up conversation periodically, completely undeterred by her cold and dismissive attitude. He seemed to genuinely enjoy the effort.

During the ride, Savannah called Felicia's phone.

"Felicia, where are you planning to go for fun this weekend?" Savannah asked brightly.

"I am attending the wedding of an elder's grandson today," Felicia replied.

"Are you going alone?"

Felicia hesitated for a moment. "I am with someone else."

Savannah instantly deduced who she meant and lowered her voice slightly. "So you two are together right now?"

Felicia murmured a soft note of confirmation. Savannah did not press the issue further, easily shifting the topic.

"By the way, Jeremy and I are coming over this Wednesday. He is doing a formal work inspection, but I am mainly coming to keep you company so you do not get bored all by yourself."

Felicia smiled warmly. "That sounds wonderful."

"When are we going up to the Capital to attend your wedding banquets?"

Although they were technically relatives, to Felicia, these people were complete strangers. She felt deeply uncomfortable with such overwhelming, invasive enthusiasm from people she barely knew. Darin, however, handled the barrage of questions with perfect grace and polite evasion. Sensing Felicia's growing discomfort, he quickly presented their gift, made a polite excuse, and guided her away from the crowd. Since there was still some time before the banquet officially started, he decided to take her for a walk around the grounds.

As they walked away, one of the bridesmaids, who happened to be the bride's younger sister, stared dreamily at Darin's retreating back. She excitedly grabbed her sister's arm, her face flushed red.

"Do you think someone could introduce us later?" she whispered frantically.

The bride smiled at her sister. "I will ask around for you later."

Meanwhile, Darin and Felicia strolled through the surrounding area. There were quite a few banquets being held at the manor today.

"It is rare to attend a wedding banquet like this. It is quite lively," Darin remarked softly. It was not a ridiculously extravagant display of wealth typical of elite corporate marriages, but this kind of ordinary wedding felt far more grounded and full of genuine life.
