The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 192

"But don't you worry. If she won't agree, I'll have Arthur step in. She'll have to respect his authority, at the very least."

Afraid the girl might overthink things and get even more upset, Seraphina laid out her entire plan at once.

Felicity secretly balled her hands into tight fists.

She honestly never expected Madeline to be so stubborn this time and actually drag the cops into it.

It was a massive miscalculation.

She should have found a blind spot without cameras and watched her drown with her own eyes.

If that woman were out of the picture, she wouldn't be dealing with this headache right now.

"Seraphina, I am so sorry for causing you all this trouble."

"Maybe... you should just stop worrying about me. You finally had some time to relax on vacation, and you had to rush back just because of my mess."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting, you silly girl?"

Seraphina affectionately cupped her cheek.

"You grew up right under my roof, which makes you just as much my own daughter."

"Felicity, tell me exactly what happened that day. Why on earth would you push Madeline? I know you're not a malicious person."

"Madeline said... never mind. I should just bear the burden of those words myself."

"I just felt so awful for York, which is why I acted so impulsively."

As Felicity spoke, tears clung to her lashes, and she sounded incredibly wronged.

"Seraphina, you know how I feel."

"York got married, and I genuinely wished him the best. He has always been the most important person in my life."

"But I couldn't stand watching Madeline not love him, yet still twist the knife in his heart like that..."
