The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 968

Max stood there in the dimly lit hallway, dressed entirely in black. He radiated a freezing, murderous aura. His dark eyes were as cold and bottomless as a frozen lake as they locked onto her.

Felicia was dressed comfortably in a cream-colored knit loungewear set, her long hair pinned up in a loose, effortless bun. She looked exactly like a devoted wife eagerly welcoming her husband home. Yet the moment she realized who was actually standing there, the warm, welcoming smile instantly vanished from her lips.

"Who were you waiting for?"

His voice was horrifyingly low and icy. It felt as though an invisible hand had just clamped around her throat, making it impossible to breathe. Her fingers curled into tight fists, desperately gripping the fabric of her pants.

A suffocating, terrifying silence filled the room.

Fighting back her panic, Felicia took a deep breath, forcing her voice to sound calm and indifferent. "What are you doing here?"

Max's eyes narrowed dangerously as he took a slow, deliberate step forward. Felicia gasped and instinctively stepped back.

Seeing the blatant rejection in her eyes, Max's tone turned incredibly cruel. "Are you hiding something shameful in here?"

Before Felicia could even formulate a response, Max shoved past her and marched directly into the apartment. His eyes immediately darted to the entryway floor, where a large pair of men's slippers rested neatly on the mat. He stopped dead in his tracks. The atmospheric pressure inside the room seemed to violently plummet.

Rusty and Marble trotted out to investigate the commotion, but the moment they sensed the sheer hostility rolling off the intruder, they puffed up to twice their size and began aggressively hissing at him. Max slowly dragged his gaze down to the tiny animals. The kittens arched their backs further, their tiny legs stiffening in sheer terror as they backed away.

Noticing where his attention was drawn, Felicia silently hurried over to the kittens and scooped them into her arms. The tiny creatures continued to vibrate with fearful growls against her chest. She quickly deposited them onto the top tier of their scratching post. Sensing the dangerous man stepping closer, the kittens immediately scrambled behind a plush cushion to hide.

Max surveyed the living room with predatory focus before perfectly identifying the location of the master bedroom. He immediately strode toward it.
