The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 151

Madeline Monroe woke up early, so by seven or eight in the morning, her mind was still enveloped in a hazy fog.

She walked downstairs to find York Yates already sitting at the dining table.

The table was covered with all her favorite breakfast foods, though the presentation was downright ugly.

It was obvious York had made them all himself.

Acting as if he had amnesia about their fight, York pulled out a chair for her.

"Ms. Monroe, sit down and eat. I'll drop you off at the Gazette later."

Madeline sat down and raised her eyes to look at him.

"York, when you act like this, it makes me think you're trying to poison me."

"How could I? Even if I poisoned myself, I'd never lay a finger on you."

York looked at her pale complexion, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart.

"Try this, it's the rose-infused pastry you always used to love."

"Let me feed you."

The man's eyes crinkled with a smile, his gentle gaze looking exactly as it had when they first got married.

For some unknown reason, a surge of anxiety and anger flared up within Madeline once again.

"I have hands. I don't need you to feed me."

Anyone would think she was out of her mind for throwing a tantrum so early in the morning without reason.

Especially directed at York, a man who was entirely used to being worshipped by everyone around him.

Surprisingly, York acted as if he had taken the wrong medication; he simply clicked his tongue.

"Looks like you didn't sleep well last night. You've got quite the temper, Ms. Monroe."

"Have some warm oatmeal. Try it, is it the flavor you like?"

York immediately scooped a bowl of oatmeal, bringing it to her and trying to feed her with a spoon.

Madeline slapped the bowl away with a forceful swipe of her hand.

"York, how can you always act like nothing happened?"

"I'm not you. And I'm not the same Madeline from two years ago either."

"Don't you think this is all incredibly pointless?"

Madeline's chest heaved violently as she noticed the back of York's hand turning visibly red.
