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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 461

When Madeline heard voices, she turned around slowly. Eloise and Sean were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Despite their smiles, they still could not hide the emotions and uneasiness in their eyes.

It had already come to this, so Madeline did not want to beat around the bush anymore.

“I’m guessing that you already know about it, right?” Madeline asked calmly.

Sean and Eloise were stumped for words. They looked at Madeline in shock after she asked that question.

After a few moments of silence, Eloise said cautiously, “Miss Vera—”

“Miss Vera,” Madeline repeated this name, interrupting Eloise with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be calling me Eveline Montgomery now?”

“…”

“…”

Eloise and Sean’s breaths hitched when they heard that.

They stared blankly at the cute smiling face in front of them. At that moment, tears started pouring out from their eyes.

“Eveline!”

Eloise was crying heavily as she ran over to Madeline emotionally. Her remorseful and apologetic eyes were filled with love and benevolence, enveloping Madeline warmly.

After a while, Eloise reached out a trembling finger and placed it on Madeline’s face gently.

She caressed Madeline’s flawless face gladly as she felt the warm touch on her fingertips. Eloise bit her lip and held her daughter while feeling distressed.

“My child! My baby daughter!” Eloise called out uncontrollably while holding Madeline tightly.

“Eveline, I’ve finally found you. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

She was crying as she apologized, her voice sounding extremely shaky.

Sean’s eyes were red as he walked toward Madeline. He said with a sob, “Child, I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry.”

He apologized sincerely with a sorry gaze.

Sean lifted his hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he placed it on top of Madeline’s head before caressing her lovingly.

Madeline was motionless and unperturbed while she was showered by Eloise and Sean’s apology and love. There was no emotion on her face, and it was only her eyelashes that fluttered.

She did not fight them nor did she welcome their hugs. She merely allowed Eloise to hold her and Sean to caress her hair motionlessly. She allowed them to express the love and remorse they felt for Eveline Montgomery that had piled up after so many years.

After a while, Eloise finally released Madeline from her embrace reluctantly after Madeline’s phone started ringing.

She quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes focused on Madeline’s face.

Madeline looked at the caller ID and switched her phone into silent mode.

Eloise then ordered the maids, “Brew some black tea of the highest quality and fetch us some snacks.”

“Yes, Madam.” The maid quickly carried out her orders.

“Eveline, sit down. Let me take a good look at you.” Eloise approached her with tears in her eyes, reaching out her hand to hold Madeline’s. She wanted to pull Madeline to the sofa. However, before she could warm up her daughter’s hands, Madeline pulled away.

Eloise was stunned as she looked at Madeline with a disappointed gaze. “Eveline…”

“I’m leaving soon. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, you don’t have to entertain me so courteously.”

When Eloise and Sean heard how Madeline addressed them, they looked at her worriedly and were at a loss.

Eloise called out with a broken heart, “Eveline…”

Madeline smiled lightly, lifting her beautiful eyes to look around. She walked to the European-styled sofa and ran her fingers across the surface.

“That time, you guys invited me for dinner for Meredith’s sake and were willing to be courteous just to entertain an enemy like me. You guys must feel extremely uncomfortable now that the tables have turned, right?”

Eloise and Sean felt even more distressed when they heard that.

Madeline smiled calmly, saying, “Mrs. Montgomery, you asked me whether I found my parents after so many years.”

As she looked into Eloise’s apologetic gaze, she continued, “Mrs. Montgomery, do you remember what my answer was?”

“Eveline…”

“I said I found them, but we can’t reunite because even though I was standing right in front of them, they wouldn’t want to acknowledge me.”

Eloise’s eyes were bright red as she held Madeline’s hands with tears streaming down her face. “Eveline, please let me explain. Eveline…”

Madeline smiled. “You don’t have to explain. I’m not blaming you for anything. I just want to say that maybe we’re not fated to be family members.”

“No, Eveline. Don’t say that. It’s our fault. We shouldn’t have let that witch Meredith misguide us. We should have been able to tell who’s our real daughter…”

“Eveline, please give us a chance to make it up to you.”

Sean walked over, his handsome face filled with pain and sadness.

“Eveline, it has been so many years and we’ve never forgotten about you. Before Meredith’s existence, your mother would think about you every night and would wonder if you’re doing well. We preserved your room in this big house. Your mother would clean it meticulously every day so that one day you could come home.”

“Home?”

Madeline laughed.

“Is this my home? It looks so foreign. This isn’t my home.”

She laughed while looking at Eloise and Sean’s red tear-pooled eyes before turning her face coldly. Her eyes had become chilly.

“Perhaps when you first found out that Madeline was your daughter, you experienced a blow of remorse, but there was joy in finally knowing the truth, right? However, all it gave me was pain.”

Eloise and Sean felt as if a knife had sliced their hearts open after they heard that. The fiery pain was burning in their hearts.

Pain.

They had made their daughter feel pain.

They had a lot of apologies stuck in their throats, but perhaps everything they said now would be futile.

Madeline turned around and smiled sarcastically. “You might not know this, but I knew you were my birth parents the day I was accused of killing Brittany.”

“W-What?”

Eloise and Sean widened their eyes in disbelief as they felt excruciating pain in their hearts.

Looking at the pained and lost expression on the couple’s faces, Madeline laughed and let out a long sigh. “When you were hitting and yelling at me for Meredith’s sake, I had no choice but to accept the punishments given to me by the people closest to me.”

“…”

“I was fully conscious as I gritted my teeth. You were defending that heartless liar with all you got. You believed her lies and were so certain that I was the one who killed your adopted daughter, Brittany. You called me an animal. Even when I was in despair, I never cried. Do you know why?”

Madeline took a deep breath. “Because I didn’t have the courage to cry. I was worried that my tears would blur my vision. I wanted to take a good look at my parents before I died even though they hated me to the bone.”

After Madeline said that, Eloise was already crying hysterically. On the other hand, Sean could not control his tears anymore.

They remembered when they went to see Madeline in the conjugal room the time Brittany was murdered.

Madeline’s face had appeared white and haggardly. That image kept on appearing in their heads, as well as their brutal and cruel treatment toward her.

They had cursed and slapped Madeline all to defend Meredith. Sean even slapped Madeline who was already weak so hard that she collapsed to the floor.

Their hearts were hurting now as they thought back to it.

They could not endure the pain in their hearts that was caused by remorse.

Eloise and Sean could not imagine how strong Madeline had to be to not cry in that situation.

At this moment, Madeline was as tough and strong as she used to be. She smiled lightly when she recalled her miserable past.

“It’s all in the past. I don’t want to look into anything anymore.”

She smiled lightly as a disappointed glint appeared in her eyes.

“I don’t blame you for being fooled by Meredith’s meticulous ruse. I’m just upset that my birth parents were unable to distinguish right from wrong. You even chose to side with her and defend her after you knew how many inhumane things she had done.”

“Eveline…”

“When that pendant fell from me, I stole Mrs. Montgomery’s toothbrush from the hospital to check our DNAs. I knew there was a peculiar relationship between us, but you were so sure that I was the one who stole Meredith’s pendant. Perhaps it was fate. I’m destined to meet but not fated to be together with my parents.”

After Madeline said that, her disappointed gaze scanned Eloise’s body. Then, she looked at Sean who was feeling extremely remorseful.

“Despite having no chance to experience the love from my parents, I still want to thank you for bringing me to this world. The thing I longed for the most in this world is to have parents. The person I loved the most in this world was already destined to not be mine. I won’t make demands like how I used to back then.”

After she said that, Madeline turned around without holding back.
