Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1850

Ada let out a sigh of resignation.

“Carter, I know I tend to be willful and wayward, but I’m not that heartless and cold-blooded. You should go and comfort Ms. Brown. She must be feeling especially…”

Without waiting for Ada to finish her sentence, Carter left her and walked straight to Shirley.

Carter glanced sideways at the charred house which had been burnt down to its frame. His eyebrows drew tight as the burning smell hit his nostrils.

Shirley’s eyes were red as she glared at Carter, who wore a dark expression on his face.

“You killed my brother and Cathy. I’ll make certain that you’ll pay for this, Carter Gray!”

Shirley bitterly spat out every word through gritted teeth, expressing her determination.

Carter turned his face over, frowning as he met Shirley’s gaze which burned with hostility and rage.

“What do their deaths have anything to do with me? Shirley, has the excessive sadness affected your brain?”
