Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife by Sixteenth Child

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 281

“Pfft.” Madeline burst out laughing. “The woman you love the most is your ex-wife Meredith? Mr. Whitman, this joke isn’t funny at all.”

Madeline was laughing, but there was a dull ache in her heart.

That bloody wound was still causing her to be in pain without showing any signs of relenting. When she recalled those scenes from the past, there was only blood and tears.

However, what had he said back then? Did he say that he loved her?

If the opposite of love was hate, then he had indeed ‘loved’ her. He even ‘loved’ her to death!

When he looked at the sarcastic smile on Madeline’s face, Jeremy smiled superficially. “You’re right. It’s just a joke.”

He was laughing at himself, but deep within, his heart was as painful as if it had just been cut by a knife.

It was exactly like a joke. It was so pathetic that he almost did not believe himself.

However, this was already an undeniable truth.

“Well, the joke’s over. I should go now,” Madeline said in a cold tone. Then, she pulled her hand away from Jeremy’s hand without hesitating.

However, when she turned around, Jeremy walked in front of her.

“Do you have anything else to say to me, Mr. Whitman?” Madeline asked calmly.

“I said you can call me by my name when we meet.” He looked at her. “You should think about what I said to you after you go back.”

He meant their marriage.

Madeline was feeling more and more confused about this man. “Jeremy, why would I marry you? Won’t you think about the ex-wife who you despise so much when you look at my face? Won’t you feel disgusted? Or perhaps you’re a masochist?”

Jeremy raised his eyebrow slightly. “Just think of me as a masochist, then,” he said while opening the door of the passenger seat.

“It’s too secluded here. I’ll drive you home.”

Madeline looked at the unreadable smile on the man’s handsome face. Then, she turned around and got into the car.

When she got back to the empty apartment, she searched online for her wedding photo with Jeremy six years ago.

Looking at the photo of both of them, her mind started to wander. Her quiet heart started to beat faster for no reason.

Now that she was reminiscing, those memories felt like they had just happened yesterday.

He was wearing a suit while looking arrogant and elegant at the same time. He was a man who was like no other.

She had held his hand as they walked into the church. There was a happy grin on her face.

However, that smile never again appeared on her face after that day.

Six years. In those six years, he brought her only pain and more pain after she married him.

However, what was he saying now?

The woman he loved the most was her?

“Hmph.” Madeline scoffed as her heart tightened.

‘Jeremy, it’s fine if you didn’t love me when I was alive. Now that I’m dead, you still want to crack jokes to make fun of me.

‘The woman you’ve loved this entire time is that evil two-faced b*tch Madeline!

‘Even though you’re aware of all the heinous things she has done to me in the past, you merely called off your marriage to her. Do you think this is enough to lessen the hurt you caused me?

“No.

‘The punishment you and Meredith are experiencing today is far from enough!’

It was dusk when Madeline arrived at the kindergarten.

After she picked Lillian up, Madeline looked into the kindergarten subconsciously. She looked for Jackson among the other tiny figures. However, after looking around, she could not find him.

Madeline turned around dispiritedly. When she was about to leave, she saw Eloise walking out with Jackson.

Eloise had spotted Madeline as well. Anger rose on her elegant and graceful face.

However, since Jackson was around, Eloise had to control her anger.

“Vera.” Jackson lifted his head to greet Vera. There was a rare smile on his clean and smooth face.

Madeline smiled in return. “Jack, how are you?”

When Eloise saw this, her face fell. “Jack, what did you call her? Do you know her? How would you know this evil woman?”

“Vera isn’t a bad person.” Jackson knitted his eyebrows together. The smile on his face disappeared gradually as he became down and dispirited again.

“She’s a bad person! She’s the one who caused your mother to be hospitalized!” Eloise’s tone became awful. She glared at Madeline while gritting her teeth. “Vera Quinn, stay away from my family. I’ll get back at you for what you’ve done to Mer!”

“Pretty Grandma, why are you screaming at my mommy?” Lillian said in a voice as soft as cotton.

Eloise finally spotted the little girl who looked about two to three years old next to Madeline.

She wanted to teach Madeline a lesson, but when she saw Lillian’s big eyes and doll-like face, she was stunned.

She looked so much like her.

She looked exactly like Meredith when she gave birth to her.

“What are you looking at, Mrs. Montgomery?” Madeline smiled and asked.

Eloise came back to her senses and pointed at Lillian. There was suspicion in her eyes as she asked, “Is this your daughter?”

Madeline nodded. “Is there something wrong?”

“…” The expression in Eloise’s eyes changed. She inspected Madeline’s face profoundly for a while. Then, she scoffed. “Hmph, Vera Quinn, so you have a daughter yourself? Have you ever thought about how heartbroken you’d be if your daughter gets hurt by someone? Do you really think my daughter has no mother who loves her?”

At the end of the day, she was feeling sorry for Meredith again.

Madeline smiled. “I won’t allow anyone to hurt my daughter, but Mrs. Montgomery, are you sure you really love your daughter?”

“What do you mean?” Eloise asked in dissatisfaction. “Are you trying to incite disharmony between me and Mer again?”

Madeline looked at Eloise calmly. “What I said on the roof is true. Rose did say so herself that your biological daughter with Mr. Montgomery has been dead since three years ago.”

“Rubbish!” Eloise did not believe what she said.

Madeline looked at the change in Eloise’s expression as her heart ached dully. However, she smiled calmly. “I’m not spewing rubbish. Time will give you the answer. However, I’m pretty curious. Did anyone around you die three years ago?”

“…” Eloise wanted to continue yelling at Madeline, but when she heard that, she felt her heart throbbing.

She immediately thought of Madeline.

Madeline had died three years ago!

“Lily, say goodbye to Jack. We’re going home now.”

“Okay,” Lillian replied obediently and waved at Jackson.

Madeline looked at Jackson gently. He had been looking at her the entire time. She felt reluctant. “Jack, I’ll see you soon.”

“Vera.” After Madeline turned around, Jackson called out her name and escaped from Eloise’s grip. Then, he ran in front of her. “This is for you.”

Jackson handed her a simple crystal bracelet. The pristine crystals reflected brilliant rays under the sunlight. “I made this during art class. I hope you can always wear it.”

Madeline looked at Jackson’s expectant gaze dispiritedly. She felt waves and waves of pain in her heart.

“Jack…”

“Jack, what are you saying to that evil woman? Come back here to Granny and we’ll go home now.” Eloise walked over hurriedly and grabbed Jackson before leaving. She did not even look at Madeline.

Madeline held Lillian’s hand and looked at the car that was driving away. She held the bracelet even tighter in her hand.

After they went home, Madeline wore the bracelet around her wrist carefully. It was such a simple bracelet, but she felt that it was so beautiful.

She hated Meredith and Jeremy, but aside from the fondness she felt for Jackson, she also felt sadness.

After she sought her revenge from Meredith and Jeremy, would that child hate her?

The next morning, Madeline woke up early. She wanted to buy a present for Jackson in return for the bracelet he gave her. However, when she walked out of her residential area, a car stopped in front of her abruptly.

Two men in black rushed in front of her and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. Madeline struggled for a while before losing consciousness.

Daniel had found out where Madeline was staying. When he got there to see how she was doing, he did not expect to see this scene in front of him.

“Maddie!”

His heart started racing. He ignored everything and slammed on the accelerator to follow the car that had brought Madeline away.

However, the car was driving too fast and was even running red lights without a care. Daniel did not want to lose the car, so he ignored the red lights as well. However, at this moment, there were two students in uniform crossing the road. Daniel slammed the brakes immediately.

He managed to prevent an accident from happening, but he also lost the car.

He thought about what Madeline would have to face later and immediately called the police. Then, he pulled some strings and got the camera footage.

He had lost her once before three years ago. This time, he would not allow anything to happen to her again.

‘Maddie, you’ll be okay.

‘I’ll definitely get you back safely this time.’

There were steel plates on Meredith’s legs and they were wrapped with a heavy layer of gauze. However, she could walk out of the toilet as if nothing had happened to her.

Rose scanned the area around the ward before closing the door. “Mer, those people called me just now. They said they did everything according to your commands,” she said with a lowered voice. There was an obvious evil grin on her face.
