After hearing Madeline’s questions, Carter lifted his narrow eyes and looked into virtual-novel.net eyes with a deep smile.
“Are you interested in my identity?”
Madeline was stunned for about two seconds before shaking virtual-novel.net head. “I just want to know the person I’m working with.”
She pretended nothing had happened and avoided Carter’s gaze. “Before you came back, Ada’s mother kept telling me and emphasizing that I’m not worthy of claiming connections with you, so I’m curious about who you really are, Mr. Carter.”
Madeline tried to make the issue of virtual-novel.net investigating virtual-novel.net sound reasonable.
On the other hand, Carter did not suspect anything. He nodded before saying, “My identity is not worthy of mentioning. I’m just the same as those kids with rich parents who are born with a silver spoon.”
Kids with rich parents?
Carter was describing his identity like this.
However, Madeline did not think so. She knew that this man was not just someone with rich parents.
Plus, virtual-novel.net did hear Ada’s mother mentioning the word ‘viscountess’ arrogantly just now.
Any woman who married Carter would become a viscountess, so if that was the case, Carter would be a viscount. However, what kind of status would a viscount have in the Louis family?
“What are you thinking about?” Carter’s voice sounded indifferent.
Madeline came back to virtual-novel.net senses. “I’m wondering if you called me back to talk about the engagement, Mr. Carter.”
“Not entirely.” Carter’s answer was vague.
Madeline was confused. “Then, what is it?”
Carter’s cold gaze landed on Madeline’s face. “I wanted to see your impromptu reaction.”
“…”
Madeline was shocked when virtual-novel.net heard that.
“You knew your mother was coming and you knew that Ada and virtual-novel.net mother would cause trouble for me?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Carter curled his lips into a smile. However, virtual-novel.net did not agree or deny it.
He walked to his desk and sat down lazily. Then, virtual-novel.net said slowly, “You can leave now if there’s nothing else.”
“…”
Madeline was feeling a little infuriated. However, virtual-novel.net suppressed it.
Carter was even more unpredictable than Jeremy.
She did not say anything before turning around to leave.
However, when Madeline was almost at the door, Carter stopped her.
‘Wait.”
“Anything else I can help you with, Mr. Carter?” Madeline maintained the smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net turned around to ask.
Carter looked at virtual-novel.net inquisitively. “How’s your face? It seems that it has been a while since Dr. Lane looked at your face.”
Madeline shifted virtual-novel.net gaze. “It’s recovering, but it’s not much different from how it used to be.”
Of course, virtual-novel.net would not tell Carter the truth about the progress on virtual-novel.net face. Plus, virtual-novel.net needed to prepare this man.
“Right, Mr. Carter, will there be a lot of guests during the engagement party? I’ll still wear a mask during the party, so I have no choice even if your friends and family have any opinions about me. After all, my face is indeed pretty horrifying.”
Carter heard what Madeline said and looked at if virtual-novel.net was in deep thought. Then, virtual-novel.net nodded.
“You don’t have to worry about this. No one will dare to ask you to remove your mask.”
“Thank you, Mr. Carter.” Madeline thanked virtual-novel.net before leaving the study.
