Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 1926

Madeline walked onto the balcony. She habitually lifted her hand to touch the wedding ring on her ring finger, but she felt nothing there.

How could she have forgotten? She had taken off the ring to leave it on the carpet of the hotel back then.

It should be with Jeremy now.

She believed Jeremy must have seen the clues she left.

“Jeremy, I didn’t think we’d do this again. “But this time, he might completely erase my memory so that he can control my thoughts and memories.

“I hope you can understand why I had been so cruel back then. I know you’ll understand.”

Madeline murmured as she stared toward the clear Click. The sound of the door opening could be heard from behind her. Madeline could tell who it was from the footsteps alone. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I think you should be ready.” Carter’s nonchalant voice drifted over.

Madeline stood her ground, unmoving, ignoring Carter.

Carter did not care that Madeline was ignoring him. He merely approached her slowly.

“Let me tell you something. Jeremy is already in St. Piaf.”

Carter said as he looked at Madeline. He thought Madeline would react strongly but, surprisingly, she was abnormally calm.

Carter could not understand why Madeline was acting like this. “Why do you not care at all?”

Upon hearing that, Madeline curled the corners of her lips into a slight smile. “My husband will definitely come to find me. This is expected, so why should I be surprised?”

Madeline spoke calmly, then lifted her clear eyes to meet Carter’s ominous gaze. “Are you here just to tell me this?”

Carter looked at the calm Madeline and suddenly, he burst into laughter.

“Eveline, you really are special.”

He said and spread his palms. An old-looking pocket watch fell from his palm and with the tug of the thin chain, it bounced a few times and finally became still again.

Madeline immediately understood what Carter meant.

Two words appeared in her mind—advanced hypnosis.

Carter would not let go of this opportunity to make a move against Jeremy. He had planned this a long time ago. He would neither allow himself to fail nor give Madeline the chance to escape.

“You should already be prepared, right?” Carter asked with a smile.

Madeline smiled. Her eyes, clear and calm as water, stared at Carter.

“Carter, do you believe that evil will never win?”

Carter had not expected Madeline to ask something so childish. He waved the pocket watch in his hand and slowly said, “Evil never wins—only in fairytales. Eveline, starting from now, relax your body and mind. Focus your attention on this pocket watch.

“Do you see the crystal ball in the middle of the pocket watch? Look closely. Do you see Jeremy

appear in the crystal ball? If you can’t see him, close your eyes, and then you’ll see the person you want to see the most…”

Carter’s voice was very gentle. He then saw Madeline’s eyes slowly losing focus. He knew he had successfully controlled her thoughts. He lifted the corners of his lips in satisfaction, ready to send her into a deep sleep.

“Eveline, close your eyes and tell me who you see. ”

Carter asked according to the standard procedure. He knew the person Madeline wanted to see most now must be Jeremy. However, he heard another unexpected name coming out of her mouth…
