The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 143

Over the past three days, Madeline hadn't returned to Azure Bay, splitting her time entirely between the hospital and The Metropolitan Gazette.

It was a rare Friday afternoon when she managed to finish her work early.

Her colleagues at the magazine suggested they all go to a karaoke bar to unwind.

Not wanting to be a wet blanket, Madeline agreed.

But the moment she walked out the front doors, a flashy Cayenne executed a flawless drift and screeched to a halt right in front of her.

Madeline's temples throbbed violently.

Why hadn't God struck down this menace yet?!

Everyone from the magazine started screaming in excitement.

That kind of driving was on par with professional racers.

Someone immediately recognized the A8888 license plate as York's.

"It's York Yates!"

"He's the only one in The Capital with that plate."

Hearing this, Madeline wished she had the superpower to vanish into thin air.

York pushed the car door open, stepping out in polished leather shoes, crisp white trousers, a deep navy shirt, and a dark red tie.

He wore a faint smirk, and the young women from the magazine were already shrieking in delight.

"Oh my god, he is so gorgeous."

"Save me, my legs are turning to jelly."

"Why is Prosecutor Yates suddenly at our office? Did he set his sights on one of our beautiful editors?"

...

Madeline turned on her heel and started walking the other way without a second thought.

In three years, York had never picked her up publicly.

It was a rule they had agreed on when they got married. Now that they were on the brink of divorce, why was he suddenly breaking it?

She whipped out her phone and texted him.

"York, if you let anyone at the office know about our relationship, you are dead meat!"

York replied instantly.

"How exactly do you plan on killing me, Ms. Monroe? In bed, or by making yourself a widow?"

Did this man have no shame?!

Madeline's face flushed bright red, purely out of anger.
