The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 971

As Jeremy's words fell, a sudden gust of wind violently blew the window open, letting out a jarring, ear-splitting crash. Terrified, Rusty and Marble immediately scrambled back under the sofa to hide. The pouring rain from outside whipped into the room. Even though it was a humid August night, the interior of the apartment felt entirely engulfed in waves of piercing cold.

Felicia was just about to enter the apartment when the loud crash of the window startled her. She froze in her tracks, standing rooted to the spot for what felt like an eternity. Only when her legs began to ache did she finally take a deep breath and step inside, clutching the bag of cat food.

The two men sitting across from each other at the dining table remained perfectly still. The moment she walked in, Max's sharp, chilling gaze locked onto her.

Jeremy turned his head to look at her, then stood up and walked over. "I bought a few different flavors, but not too many," he said smoothly. "Let's see which one they like best first."

Felicia offered a quiet hum of agreement. She walked over to a cabinet next to the television where she kept all the pet supplies and neatly arranged the cans inside.

Meanwhile, Jeremy walked over to the open window and firmly locked it, instantly sealing off the howling wind and plunging the room back into absolute silence. Felicia closed the cabinet drawer and stood still, her back facing the men. After a long while, she steadied her racing heart. She exhaled softly and turned around. The moment her eyes met Max's intense stare, her chest tightened uncontrollably. Curling her fingers into light fists, she forced herself to walk over to the dining table and sat directly across from him. "Max, we..."

Before she could finish, he cut her off with a frigid tone. "What do you want to say?"

Felicia stared at him.

"I never signed anything. There was no notarization. What divorce are you talking about?" he demanded.

"The Records Office stamped the official seal on the divorce decree," she replied quietly.

Max let out a harsh scoff. "Felicia, have you lost your mind?!"
