Chapter 1535
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
After Ada heard that, she looked over to where her mother was looking and saw a brat.
She knew that boy. He was the son of one of the guests attending the party. His name was Luke and he was very mischievous.
Ada did not like this boy because he had lost one of her limited edition earrings before this.
She did not understand what her mother was trying to say, but soon, she heard her mother whispering in her ear.
After a few sentences, an evil grin appeared on Adaâs face.
âMom, only you can come up with such a scheme.â
âOf course!â Adaâs mother was feeling pleased with herself. âYou should go and worm your way into a relationship with him using this opportunity.â
Ada previously wanted nothing to do with this child, but now, she approached him happily.
Madeline wanted to go back immediately after the party, but suddenly, a crowd started gathering around her unbeknownst to her.
These people were all congratulating Carter. However, after they congratulated him, they started gossiping about Madelineâs looks.
âCarter, when did you get a girlfriend? Youâre so mysterious.â
âYeah, you only told us when you were getting engaged. Iâm guessing your girlfriend must be extremely beautiful and thatâs why youâre hiding her because youâre scared someone might steal her away, right?â
âWe have to see the gorgeous woman today no matter what.â
âWe have to.â
Some people started heckling Carter. Even though they were praising Madeline, in reality, Madeline knew they only wanted to see how hideous and horrendous she looked after getting disfigured.
Madeline gave them a fake smile cooperatively and looked at Carter.
Carter was very respectful of Madeline regarding this. He looked at the people who wanted to see Madelineâs face and smiled softly like a gentleman.
âMy fiancéeâs face was hurt in an accident and itâs in the process of recovery. Her wounds will get infected if she removes the mask and I donât want her to risk it. However, I can tell you guys that my fiancée was a very gorgeous woman before she was hurt.â
ââ¦â
Carter was saying that seriously. He was so serious that Madeline had a feeling he had already prepared this speech beforehand.
âOh, listen, Carter is so meticulous and protective of his fiancée.â The guests mocked and turned around to look at Carterâs mother who was not looking very happy. âCamille, as her future mother-in-
law, you mustâve seen Carterâs fiancée, right? Is she gorgeous?â
Camille tugged the corners of her lips after she heard that and forced a smile. âYeah, sheâs pretty decent.â
Madeline thought Camille would use this chance to mock and ridicule her. She did not expect Camille to be so respectful.
However, instead of Camille being respectful to Madeline, it was more likely that she just did not want to embarrass herself.
She probably felt that she would be utterly humiliated if people knew that her son was engaged to a disfigured woman.
During this process, Madeline maintained a smile on her face according to Carterâs wishes. She thought that the social niceties should be finished any time soon, but when she turned around, she saw Ada holding a little boy who looked about four to five years old. In addition to that, the little boy was holding a glass of juice.
âCarty, Miss Montgomery, congratulations.â Ada was smiling pretentiously as she walked over to greet them.
Carter obviously did not want to talk to Ada, so he grabbed Madelineâs hand to walk away.
When Ada saw this, she pushed the little boy in her arms secretly.
The little boy started making a fuss. âBride! I want to see the bride!â
Ada quickly displayed a troubled look. âCarty, look, Luke is being naughty again. I ran into him just now and he was making a fuss, wanting me to take him to see your future bride.â
Ada pointed at Madeline. âLuke, see, thatâs Cartyâs bride. Do you think she looks pretty?â
The little boy saw the mask and looked at Madeline with a smile in his beautiful eyes. Then, he stretched his body to try to get closer to Madeline.
Ada pretended to not have a choice as she carried the little boy to Madeline.
