Chapter 1956
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âIâm already making the arrangements for our future. I wonât make you wait too long, â Carter promised.
Unmoved by this, Shirley changed the direction of the wheelchair and moved towards the bed.
âOkay, Mr. Gray, I heard you. You can go back now. I am going to sleep.â
Listening to Shirleyâs nonchalant words, Carter looked back at her with narrowed eyes.
â I know itâs hard for you to believe what I just said and to forget the deaths of Adam and Cathy, but in any case, no one can change my relationship with you.â
Every word that came out of Carterâs mouth sounded unusually sonorous and powerful.
However, Shirley turned a deaf ear to what he said. She was even more indifferent now.
Carter did not want to court yet another rebuff, so he left.
As soon as he got out of the room, he called a maid to help Shirley to go to bed.
He wanted to carry her to bed, but he knew very well that Shirley would resist him now. If he had approached her, he would only make her resist and resent him even more.
Carter turned around and entered the room which Jeremy was in.
The maid had just brought over some freshly cooked fish porridge and she wanted to bring it to Jeremy, but she just so happened to see Carter coming.
Her attitude toward Carter was not as arrogant as when she had been with Madeline. At this moment, she looked like a trembling little deer. She very carefully put down the bowl in her hand and then retreated to the roomâs entrance and stood guard.
Jeremy leaned against the bed and closed his eyes to rest. He did not even bother to look at Carter or talk to him.
Displeased, Carter stared at Jeremy who completely ignored him.
âTomorrow, my wedding with Eveline will be held in St. Piafâs Royal Palace. Donât worry, I will arrange a seat for you. I will let you watch as I become husband and wife with your beloved woman in front of everyone.â
âI really look forward to it.â
Jeremy said suddenly but he still did not open his eyes.
Carter was here to irritate Jeremy and to try to make Jeremy unhappy, but somehow, he heard Jeremy say those words in a light and carefree tone. Was he really looking forward to it?
âJeremy, are you looking forward to my wedding with your wife?â Carter asked in uncertainty.
Jeremy opened his alluring eyes leisurely and said, â Carter, are you dreaming?â
âWhat I am looking forward to is seeing my wife wearing a wedding dress. When I married her back then, she didnât take a lot of photos of her in a wedding dress at the wedding. It seems that I can take this opportunity to take more pictures of her.â
Carter felt that he was here to let Jeremy insult him. He was pissed, but instead of showing it, he smiled.
âJeremy, I will see if you can still be as calm as you are now tomorrow.â
Jeremy curled up the corners of his beautiful lips, and the expression in his eyes changed slightly. â
Then, you just wait and see.â
ââ¦â For a moment, Carter was speechless. He then turned around angrily.
When he opened the door, he saw the maid, who was standing guard outside, pulled her head back and shuddered.
The maidâs face turned pale immediately. She took a few steps back in terror.
She lowered her head and stammered, âM-Mr. Carter.â
Carter looked inside the room, shut the door with a loud bang, and then, his eyes fell on the maid sharply.
âWere you eavesdropping on us?â
