The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1200

Felicia pressed her hands against the man's broad shoulders, looking up at him. "You..."

Max's dark eyes locked onto hers, his deep voice carrying a distinct hint of danger. "You smiled so brightly at him."

"I was not smiling that brightly," Felicia protested.

Max leaned in closer, pressing his considerable weight against her. Felicia tensed entirely. His voice grew even darker. "I saw it all."

Felicia pushed against him with all her might. "Max, can you please stop being crazy? Is he not your cousin?"

Max lowered his eyes, his heavy gaze fixing upon her. "Well, I am very unhappy about it right now."

Felicia stared intensely back at him. "Is it safe to say you are being incredibly petty?"

The grip around her waist tightened significantly, pulling Felicia flush against his firm body.

"I am already feeling awful, and you do not even want to say a few nice words to cheer me up?"

"Well... you do have a rather fragile constitution." Felicia said this with a distinct lack of confidence, not daring to meet his intense eyes. She slowly averted her gaze.

She heard the man let out a low, deeply ambiguous chuckle. "It seems you really have a huge misunderstanding about me."

Hearing this, a terrible premonition bubbled up in Felicia's chest. Then, he leaned close to her ear and murmured softly, "Tonight, we will thoroughly clear that up."

"There is absolutely no need," Felicia said hastily. "I have not misunderstood you at all."

Max stood up straight, his expression clearly radiating the message: Too late.

After dinner that evening, the Hawthorne family gradually departed from the Gilbert residence.

That night, desperate to avoid Max, Felicia dragged Anne along, insisting on reading her a long story and sleeping in the same bed with her. Max naturally let her have her way.

Once Anne was deeply asleep, Felicia got up to lock the door. Just as she reached it, the bedroom door swung open.

Startled, Felicia looked up to see the man standing tall in the doorway.
