Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 2240

Chapter 2240

About half an hour later, Madeline and Jeremy arrived.

Seeing that Madeline had brought fruits and her homemade dessert, Ava pretended to be depressed. “Maddie, If I knew you would bring fruits and desserts, I wouldn't have asked Danny to go out to buy them.”

“What? Do you feel bad that your future husband is outside in such cold weather?” Madeline teased while helping Ava prepare dinner.

Ava was used to it and she admitted, saying, “Yes,of course. I feel bad since it’s so cold out there. You'd feel the same way if it was your man.”

It was an open concept kitchen, so Madeline glanced at Jeremy, who was sitting on the sofa watching the projector screen while eating fruits. She said indifferently, “He and I have been married for so long. How would we be as sentimental as you two?”

“Married for so long, huh? You’re not any less sweet than those young couples fresh in love,” Ava replied with a smile and subconsciously looked at the time. “I'll give Danny a call.”

Ava wiped her hands and picked up the phone. However, no one answered the call even though it got through.

For some reason, Ava's heartbeat suddenly became very unstable.

She tried calling again but still, no one answered. Madeline noticed Ava's worried expression and stopped doing what she was doing at the moment. “What's wrong? Is Dan not answering the phone?”

“Yeah, he’s not.” A look of worry appeared in Ava's eyes as her heartbeat became uneasy. “ Nothing bad happened to him, right?”

“No way. Maybe he’s not paying attention to his phone because he’s driving or his phone is on silent mode,” Madeline guessed aloud. It helped relieve Ava a little.

“That's possible. We'll just wait, then.” Ava held her phone, but it seemed to be getting more difficult for her to breathe. She felt as if something was stuck in her throat and she could not get it out.
