Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1136

Chapter 1136

Madeline walked in. She was about to go upstairs when she suddenly heard Jeremy’s voice from the bathroom.

“I’ve already died once. Do you think I care? Don’t tell me how to do things. Our relationship, if anything, is just business.”

Madeline felt her heart clench at the reminder of his ‘death’.

Yet what kind of ‘business’ was Jeremy talking about?

Madeline turned around and walked toward the bathroom door.

Jeremy’s raspy baritone voice sounded. “She’s my limit. Back off or there won’t be a negotiation at all.”

Madeline had a subconscious feeling that the person Jeremy was talking about was her.

Madeline did not want to eavesdrop on his phone call, but she could not seem to ignore the conversation.

Just then, the bathroom door opened.

Madeline looked up to meet Jeremy’s bottomless gaze. “Who were you calling, Jeremy? Did something happen?”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just work.” He brushed it off with a faint smile.

Yet, the conversation had evidently nothing to do with work at all.

Madeline did not press it. Thinking about what had happened over the past few days, she took Jeremy’s hands. “We haven’t even gotten the chance to have a nice meal even though you’ve been back for a while already, Jeremy. I want to make you dinner tonight. Let’s just forget about the kids tonight. It’ll just be the two of us. Is that okay?”

“Of course. Just the two of us.” Jeremy curled his lips into a small smile and pressed them against Madeline’s forehead.

Madeline then went shopping for ingredients and began preparing in the kitchen.

The sky began to darken as Madeline started on the dishes in the open kitchen.

This had been her dream all those years ago when they first got married—a simple and quiet life.

Yet the day had never come despite the years that passed.

Madeline ended up making a simple homemade meal—three dishes and a soup. It was all Jeremy’s favorites.
