The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 141

A flicker of impatience finally settled into York's features.

"Whether she loves me or not has nothing to do with my instinct to protect her. As long as I'm married to Madeline, I will not let anyone bully her on my watch."

"Felicity, even if we were divorced, I could never have feelings for you."

York left absolutely no room for negotiation.

Felicity stumbled back a few steps, tears streaming down her face.

York had never been this angry before, nor had he ever spoken with such absolute finality.

No matter what happened in the past, he always left a sliver of leeway.

But now, for Madeline's sake, he had drawn a brutal line in the sand.

Why?

She was the one who had met York first. She was the one who had loved him first.

Why did Madeline, a latecomer, get to receive so much of his devotion?

What was so great about her?

Aside from her face, Madeline was inferior to her in every way.

But Felicity didn't resort to hysterics.

She wiped away her tears, staring in the direction York's car had vanished.

She refused to accept this.

She refused to accept that the man she had loved since childhood was just walking out of her life.

As long as there was even the slightest sliver of hope, she would never give up fighting for him.

Madeline returned to The Metropolitan Gazette and quickly threw herself into the latest photo shoot.

After she finished, she received a call from Seraphina.

Since she and York hadn't finalized their divorce yet, she still had to give her mother-in-law the necessary respect.

Regardless of how angry or wronged she felt.

Madeline answered the call.

"Seraphina..."

"Madeline, about what happened this morning... I was in the wrong. I was just so worried that I lost my head and said things I shouldn't have. Please don't take it to heart."

"It's fine, Seraphina. You don't need to apologize to me."

Madeline's expression was incredibly calm, and so was her tone.
