Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1653

Chapter 1653

Madeline’s intuition told her that Carter’s smile held a deeper meaning to it, but she is unable to guess what is on Carter’s mind.

Madeline put down her goblet. For a few seconds, her gaze remained glued to the liquid at the bottom of her glass.

“Mr. Gray, could we begin the procedure now?” Madeline urged.

Carter nodded and gave a sideways glance at the man waiting by his side.

The man who looked like a lawyer handed Madeline two documents.

“Hello, Miss Montgomery. I’m Mr. Carter’s lawyer. These are the divorce documents for you and Mr. Carter. Please have a look at the contents, and if there are no problems, please sign the documents.”

Madeline took the document, and, this time, she carefully read through every line of words in detail.

Back then, she had fallen for Carter’s tricks only because she had too much trust in Carter. This time, she did not allow herself the chance to be negligent.

Once she had read every line carefully, Madeline signed her name next to Carter’s signature.

After that, Madeline felt relieved, a great weight lifted off her mind.

However, she still could not help feeling somewhat incredulous that she had muddleheadedly became husband and wife with another man in name.

“From now on, we’re no longer husband and wife in name, is that right, Mr. Gray?”

“Yes, after signing this, Miss Montgomery, the agreement already takes effect. You and Mr. Gray are no longer husband and wife in name.” The lawyer by the side explained clearly.

Relieved to have this heavy burden off her chest, Madeline looked toward Carter who was minding his own business and had begun dining. In the end, she thanked him sincerely, “Even though we’re in a bit of a rough patch, I still want to thank you for saving me at sea, Mr. Carter.”

Carter’s movements slowed slightly and, without looking at Madeline, he leisurely uttered two words, “You’re welcome.”

Before he turned, Jeremy subconsciously glanced at Carter, who was still dining at his seat. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, but he could not put a finger on it.

He especially could not believe that this had gone so smoothly.

“Jeremy, give me your phone. I’d like to give Mrs. Gray a call.” Madeline thought of conveying her gratitude.

Jeremy also thought that this was necessary, so he walked aside and called Camille.

Once she had learned that this had been smoothly dealt with, Camille too breathed a sigh in relief.

She did not say much before hanging up, only reiterating that Madeline and Jeremy should leave St. Piaf as quickly as possible.

Jeremy and Madeline were of the same thought, so they returned to their room to pack and leave.
