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.

Not realizing the change in Madeline’s expressions, he continued to eat.

After dinner, the two decided to take a stroll outside.

While walking by his side, Madeline would turn to look at him from time to time. It was as if he would run away if she did not keep her eyes on him.

“Will you leave me again, Jeremy?” Madeline suddenly asked.

Jeremy looked down to meet her gaze. “I won’t.”

Madeline’s heart relaxed greatly at the reply, but what he did during dinner was still fresh in her mind.

Upon returning to the villa, Jeremy went to take a bath.

Carefully opening the bathroom door, Madeline glanced at the man who was taking a shower behind the glass doors.

Her eyes fell on his clothes by the rack, and she carefully tiptoed forward. She was reaching out to take the clothes when the glass door next to her suddenly opened and the man inside stretched his hand out, stopping Madeline while dragging her into the shower with him!
