The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 96

Felicity was equally stunned.

She carefully scrutinized the little girl in York's arms. The child had a pair of incredibly striking eyes; even at such a young age, it was obvious she was going to grow up to be stunning.

York had those exact same striking eyes. Looking closely, the resemblance between the two was undeniable!

Felicity silently clenched her fists, recalling the malicious joke she had just made to intentionally humiliate Madeline.

The age matched perfectly, too.

It all made sense.

York was notoriously cold by nature.

He had never been one to willingly show such gentleness to anyone. This was the absolute first time he had ever been this affectionate with a child.

Felicity tasted the metallic tang of blood in her mouth.

Forcing down the chaotic storm of emotions inside her, she forced a bright smile and said, "Oh my, Madeline, why is this little girl calling you Mom? Did you secretly have York's baby behind his back?"

Snapping out of her shock, Seraphina stared intensely at Madeline.

"Madeline, is this child..."

"Wow, it's a full house in here!"

Sloane Sutton strutted into the room from the doorway. She walked straight over to Madeline and seamlessly grabbed her trembling hand in a firm, silent grip.

Seeing Madeline trying so desperately to look normal while her entire body was stiff as a board sent a sharp sting through Sloane's heart.

"Evie, look at you calling your Godmother so smoothly! See, you've gone and made this uncle and grandma misunderstand."

She walked right over and expertly lifted Evie from York's arms, giving her little cheek a playful pinch.

"You little troublemaker, who told you to run off? You nearly scared your Godmother to death."
