The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 928

Startled, Felicia's heart leaped in her chest. She snapped her head up, meeting his intensely aggressive gaze head-on.

"Max..." Felicia started.

"Is it really just average?" He leaned down further, his handsome face remarkably calm, yet his dark eyes remained locked onto hers with predatory focus.

Felicia felt a sudden tightness in her chest, as if all the air had been sucked from the room. She instinctively tried to pull back, but he abruptly placed a firm hand on her thigh, physically preventing her escape. Without thinking, Felicia brought her hands up to push against his shoulders.

He simply pressed his advantage. "Just average?" he repeated softly.

It was glaringly obvious that until he received a satisfactory answer, he had no intention of letting her go. Felicia's nerves stretched taut as she glared at him. "It looks great. Are you happy now?"

He did not retreat, his voice dropping even lower. "Just great?" Clearly, the word "great" was still not the exact answer he was fishing for.

Felicia's brow furrowed, showing absolutely no sign of surrender. "Max, if you keep acting like this, you can finish shopping by yourself."

Looking at her visibly flushed, angry little face, Max let out a quiet chuckle. "Getting a single compliment out of you truly is a monumental task."

He finally withdrew his hand, straightened his posture, and turned back toward the fitting rooms. Felicia let out a long, shuddering breath of relief. Max did not bother trying on the second outfit. He simply instructed the staff to pack them both up. As he reached for his wallet to pay, the sales associate smiled politely.

"Sir, your wife has already paid for these," the associate said warmly.

Max turned his head to look at Felicia. She pointedly shifted her gaze elsewhere, pretending to study the store's decor. He silently slid his credit card back into his wallet. The associate handed over the elegantly packaged shopping bags. Taking them, Max walked over to Felicia. "Let’s go."

Felicia stood up, and Max effortlessly caught her hand in his. Once they were out of the store, he suggested their next destination.
