The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 90

He even maintained his perfect gentleman persona as he smiled at Madeline. "Maddy, I'll wait for you over there."

He paused, shifting his gaze directly to York.

"Mr. Yates, a man who cannot control his temper in front of his own wife will likely never find a place in her heart."

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Was he openly mocking him?

York snapped his head toward Hunter, their glares locking in a silent, violent clash.

York radiated an arrogant, untamed hostility.

"And what would a man who doesn't even have a woman by his side know about anything?"

"So you do know Maddy is married. The CEO of your esteemed company has such little regard for his corporate image, getting this close to a married woman. Aren't you afraid of making the tabloids?"

York had genuinely intended to maintain a shred of gentlemanly composure to save face.

But the second he saw Hunter's infuriatingly smug, calculating smile, every ounce of his aristocratic upbringing was immediately thrown into the garbage.

Only someone as blind as Madeline could ever like a hypocrite like this.

Madeline violently yanked on York's sleeve, her face draining of color.

"York, stop talking nonsense. It's not what you think."

York felt his chest practically cave in with rage.

"Come with me."

"Madeline Monroe, we are not divorced yet. Have you spent the last two years just waiting for me to come back and sign the divorce papers so you can finally be with the man you actually want?"
