The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 132

Their marriage had been built entirely on business interests from the very start.

If it hadn't been for the mess with the Monroe family...

She probably would have insisted on a divorce ages ago.

Just as York was about to speak, Seraphina James suddenly called. He answered with a lazy drawl.

"Mother, to what do I owe this late-night check-in?"

"Watch your tone! Where did you learn to speak like that?"

"Is Madeline with you?"

York glanced at Madeline and gave a hum of affirmation.

"Grandpa wants the two of you to come over to The Yates Manor for a bit. Mrs. Watson just made some late-night snacks."

"Alright, we'll be right there."

Madeline heard Seraphina's words through the receiver and didn't object.

Half an hour later, they arrived at The Yates Manor.

York went to park the car while Madeline headed inside first.

The moment she stepped into the small garden, Felicity Xavier arrived, and the two crossed paths.

"Madeline, are you still mad at me?"

"We see each other all the time now, and you are York's wife after all. If the way we interact makes you uncomfortable, I apologize."

"You wanted me to go on blind dates, and I did."

"Seraphina gets headaches every day over this. As the younger generation, shouldn't we be a bit more considerate of them?"

Hearing this, Madeline let out a direct, dismissive laugh.

"If you want to play the dutiful daughter, go ahead. Why are you trying to guilt-trip me with your two-faced act?"

"You're pretending to apologize, but you're subtly reminding me how inseparable you and York supposedly are, right? Why don't you say these things to his face?"

Madeline was completely sick of being disgusted by her every time she returned to the manor.

"What's the point of this petty competition? If you like York, just be upfront and try to steal him. You've already played the role of the homewrecker anyway, so it's not like you have any pride left to lose."
