The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1003

Terry stood perfectly straight in front of the desk, taking in Mr. Hawthorne's awful expression. It was obvious they had gotten into another fight.

Given the ordeal Mr. Hawthorne had recently gone through, one would expect a married couple to be filled with the joy and relief of surviving a disaster. But clearly, that wasn't the case here. The atmosphere over the past while had been so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Everyone had to be extremely careful, terrified of making even the slightest mistake. Things had improved slightly since Mr. Hawthorne's return, but why were they arguing again now?

Having worked with Mr. Hawthorne for several years, Terry knew he wasn't someone who showed his emotions easily. He was always strict and unsmiling, making it impossible for outsiders to guess what he was thinking. His energy and self-control were terrifyingly absolute. Yet now, Terry could palpably feel Mr. Hawthorne's intense anger. His mood was terrible.

In the past, Terry could never imagine what kind of woman would marry him and win his favor. He had assumed Mr. Hawthorne would marry a gentle woman who would stay home, support her husband, and raise their children. Now he knew. Given Evelynn's strong personality, it was impossible for her to simply stay home and play the traditional wife. And surprisingly, Mr. Hawthorne had accepted this frustrating reality.

Judging by Mr. Hawthorne's attitude during the phone call with Evelynn just now, Terry could somewhat guess what happened. Even without knowing the specifics, it seemed Mr. Hawthorne had done something that disgusted Evelynn and got caught. Naturally, Mr. Hawthorne wouldn't show weakness and admit his fault. They both had strong personalities. It wouldn't be easy for them to work things out.

Thump.

Terry jumped in surprise as he watched Mr. Hawthorne throw his phone heavily onto the desk. Seeing his boss's face turn ashen, Terry secretly swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and spoke up. "Back in May, my wife and I had a huge fight. We even threatened to get a divorce."
