The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 229

"If I knew you picked it out, I never would have tried it on in the first place."

York's gaze was deadpan. "No woman in her right mind wants to see her husband wearing clothes picked out by another woman. Maybe your sister is generous enough to look past it, but I'm incredibly petty. I only wear clothes my wife chooses for me."

Even though Seraphina knew York had a point, she couldn't stand seeing Felicity look so crestfallen.

"Felicity isn't just any other woman. If you just explain it to Madeline, I'm sure she won't mind."

"Frankly, it's her own fault for being such an irresponsible wife. She hasn't bothered to manage your wardrobe or daily life once in all these years."

York felt a massive headache coming on.

"I'm a grown man, Mother, not an invalid. I know how to buy my own clothes. Do me a favor, stop talking, and get in the car. I'll drive you home."

Seraphina was so infuriated by his tone she could barely form words. She stormed out, refusing his ride out of pure spite to save herself the headache.

York had already told his driver to wait nearby, so he left without a second glance.

Felicity had whined to Seraphina about wanting to go shopping, and after buying half the mall, they demanded York come to pick them up because they had too many bags.

Since his mother had asked directly, York couldn't exactly say no. Who knew trying on a single suit would turn into such a nightmare? He felt entirely sickened by the whole ordeal.

Leaving early was exactly what he wanted.

Just as he pulled out his phone to call Madeline, Caleb Sterling's name flashed across the screen.

"York, I've got an update on the film set incident, but you need to come down here and see this for yourself."

...

Madeline hadn't told anyone about the car crash. After signing a waiver claiming full responsibility for her discharge, she ordered food delivery.

But when the hospital door opened, it was Hunter Holt who walked in holding the delivery bag.

Hunter carried Madeline's takeout in one hand and a thermal container in the other.

"You get into a car crash, and this is what you order?"

"Hunter, what are you doing here?"
