The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 188

"If you think I'm cheating, then sue me. Chasing after me with your little fling is just pathetic."

Madeline couldn't be bothered to engage in an endless, pointless argument. She turned to leave.

York grabbed her wrist and stood up, blocking her path.

"Who brought a fling?"

"We agreed to a divorce, yet we haven't even had time to discuss the assets."

"Ms. Monroe, you're a busy woman. I can only try to catch you when you have a free moment."

"And now I'm the one taking the blame."

Madeline raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised.

So, Felicity had followed him here on her own?

That was... interesting.

Madeline found it somewhat amusing, though she kept her expression perfectly neutral.

"Mr. Yates, I hope you understand a very simple truth."

"Flies don't swarm a seamless egg."

"Are you leaving? Because if you aren't, I am."

York ground his teeth, his face turning green with fury in the night air.

He didn't understand. Before, Madeline would only throw a few sharp words his way, but she had never been this hostile.

How was it that after finding a doctor for her and keeping her company at the hospital, he was the one getting slapped with divorce papers?

Then again, it made sense. From the moment they got married, he had never truly understood Madeline.

Otherwise, how could he have completely missed the fact that she was hiding someone in her heart all those years ago?

"There's no need. Since you don't want to discuss the details with me, just contact my lawyer."

The man dropped those words and walked away, his back cold and unyielding.

It was the exact same retreating figure Madeline had seen in her dreams countless times.

Only, in the past, she would have cried in those dreams.

Not anymore.

Feeling a chill in the air, Madeline decided to head back to the banquet hall.

But the next second, a hand forcefully shoved her lower back. Before she could even react, she plunged straight into the water.

In this season, the pool water was freezing. Madeline swallowed a huge gulp of water, her instincts kicking in as she thrashed her arms, trying to resurface.
