Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1978

Madeline’s sudden gesture caused Jeremy to stop abruptly.

He felt his heart beating faster, but it was not a joyous rhythm.

“Jeremy, do you have something on your mind?”

Madeline finally asked. She did feel that Jeremy looked perturbed.

Upon hearing that, Jeremy lifted his eyes and shook his head.

“The biggest thing on my mind is you.” “Really?” Madeline giggled.

“I’m sorry, Linnie. I was thinking about something just now so I didn’t catch the teacup. I’ve caused you pain.” Jeremy caressed the back of Madeline’s leg which had been burned as his heart ached, even though the burn was not too serious.

Madeline smiled softly. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose. I can endure such pain, but I can’t endure you having something on your mind which you aren’t telling me.”

After Madeline said this, Jeremy’s expression looked solemn.

Madeline recomposed herself and asked, “Is it about the maid?”

When Jeremy heard this, a look of loss evidently flashed across his face.

Madeline furrowed her eyebrows as well. “That day… Did something really happen between you and her?”

After she said that, Madeline could see that Jeremy’s expression froze.

That was not a good sign.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat, and she started to look as if she was at a loss.

She did not want to think too much at this moment, but the air around her started to become heavy.

After a while, Jeremy lifted his eyes and looked into Madeline’s eyes who looked as if they were at a complete loss.

“Linnie, I was framed by Carter.”
