Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1825

Ada, who was listening to their conversation behind the door, was frightened by Carter’s furious questioning, and her face turned pale.

‘If Shirley told the truth, how would I explain myself?’

She anxiously thought. Suddenly, she realized that the study room had become unusually quiet.

Feeling uneasy and curious, Ada leaned closer to the door, her ears practically pressing against it.

She heard a soft “click, ” and the door abruptly swung open.

Carter was standing right in front of Ada, and she turned rigid, unsure of what to do. After a few seconds, she regained her composure and adopted a n awkward demeanor; her face also feigned a gentle smile.

“Carter, I… I was just worried about you. I wasn’t eavesdropping.” Ada smiled forcefully as she tried to explain, but she noticed Carter’s unusually dark expression at the moment.

She intended to peep into the study room to see what was happening with Shirley, but her gaze was met by Carter’s cold, icy stare.

“Car…Carter?”

“It seems you are much smarter that I expected.”

Upon hearing Carter’s word, Ada froze, and her heart skipping a beat.

Carter, I…I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I….

“You don’t have the right to address me by name. Did you really believe that we got married because I’ve changed my perception of you? You’d never have joined this family if it weren’t because of your family’s worth to me.”

Although Ada already knew that her marriage and her title as Carter’s wife were predicated upon her family ties, hearing it directly from Carter was still an emotional blow to her.

“You’re very brave. You actually dared to harm my woman behind my back.”
