Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1829

Carter thought he had a hearing problem, but Shirley did, in fact, say those words.

“This isn’t your child? Shirley, do you even know what you’re saying?” Carter asked with restrained anger.

Shirley remained indifferent as she smiled and responded, “Aren’t you forgetful at times, Carter? Earlier in the study room, I had clearly said that the baby was just a bargaining chip in exchange for the anti-toxoid test reagent formula. Just a bargaining chip. Do you understand?”

“You…”

For the first time in his life, Carter was tongue-tied because he was too furious.

While he was distracted, Shirley took the opportunity to grab the box from his hands

Having been jolted out of his daze, Carter found Shirley grasping the box firmly.

He found that ridiculous.

She would not even get a chance to touch it if he had no intention of giving it to her.

“Shirley, now that you’re here at the Gray Manor, don’t think about leaving. You can develop the anti- toxoid test reagent if you want. You’ll find this laboratory the ideal place to work on it. Don’t even think about going anywhere else except the Gray Manor.”

Carter demanded sternly.

Shirley’s eyebrows creased. “Are you putting me under house arrest?”

Carter bent down and got close to Shirley’s face.

He raised his eyebrows and tugged the corners of his lips.

“You’re now the mother of my child. Even if you go against my wishes again, the child in your womb is still the first grandchild of the Gray family.”

Carter’s words drifted around Shirley’s ears and plunged straight into her heart, leaving her with a sharp pain.

There would be no mother of any child. There would be no grandchild either.

Adam had explained clearly that this child could not be born, and if he were, there would be birth defects.
