Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 621

At that, everyone’s gazes fell on the female care worker.

Yvonne’s heart thumped, remembering the scene where she had stolen the jewelry box and wallet before running down the stairs.

She had coincidentally stumbled upon Old Master Whitman who was being pushed out from the guest room on the first floor. They had locked eyes when they saw each other.

She had been too frantic that very moment to realize that there was a care worker behind Old Master Whitman.

Thinking that she had been seen, Yvonne staggered two steps backward.

“You know who hit me?” Karen asked, pointing at Madeline, “Was it her?”

Displeased by Karen’s interrogation method, Jeremy was about to open his mouth when he saw the care worker look at Madeline while nodding.

“Yes, it was this lady.”

Both Madeline and Jeremy showed the same shocked expression at her response.

Winston was stunned and pointed at Madeline. “Are you sure it was this lady?”

The care worker took a closer look at Madeline’s face and replied without a doubt, “It’s her. This lady has lovely looks, so there’s no way I would mistake her.”

The care worker continued to explain. “I was pushing the old master to the courtyard when I heard someone running down the stairs. When I pushed the old master out the room, I saw this lady standing right there.”

She pointed at the spot by the stairs.

Yvonne was dazed as she heard the other speak. She was overwhelmed with joy.

Of course, she saw Madeline about to enter the house when she was trying to run away. She could not believe that by doing so, Madeline had become her scapegoat.

That was great news!

“You’ve heard her! I’m not framing her!” Karen grew bold. “She must have first run into my room to steal my accessories and wallet, then hit me when she was afraid that I would find out. I’d like to see how you’re going to object to this, Madeline!”

“Linnie doesn’t need to object to anything because she hasn’t done what you’re accusing her of.” Jeremy was adamant about Madeline’s innocence.

Seeing the determination and trust in Jeremy’s eyes, Madeline knew he meant his words.

“Have you truly lost your rationality to this woman’s charms, Jeremy? She hit your mom and you’re still defending her?” Karen glared venomously at Madeline in her infuriation.

Madeline was unfazed. She turned to ask the care worker, “You said you heard someone run down the stairs, then you saw me standing there, yes? I’d like to know if you actually saw me hit her.”

The care worker frowned. “I didn’t, but—”

“No buts.” Jeremy interrupted, his words leaving no room for doubt. “If you didn’t see Linnie hit her, then the footsteps could very much belong to someone else.”

Winston nodded as well after a moment. “Jeremy and Madeline are right. No one saw Madeline hit you.”

Karen was beyond infuriated. “You… You two have gone mad! My head is bleeding and you’re still protecting that witch!”

“Don’t be angry, Aunty Karen. Take care of your health.”

Yvonne comforted her with false affection before turning around to speak to Jeremy in a soft tone.

“There’s even a witness pointing at her, Jeremy. Aunty Karen’s injured too, you shouldn’t—”

“I didn’t ask you yet. Why are you here? Who let you in?” Jeremy cut her off coldly.

“I called Yvonne over!” Karen huffed. “Fine, since you’re all going to stand on her side, then I’ll get justice for me by myself!”

She pulled Yvonne with her. “Come, Yvonne, we’re reporting this to the police station!”

Yvonne was startled. Reporting to the police?

“Sounds good. I’m all for making a police report,” Madeline spoke openly.

Karen scoffed. “Don’t look so proud of yourself, Madeline. Just wait for the police to catch you! Let’s go, Yvonne!”

Unable to reject her, Yvonne followed.

“I’m sure this has nothing to do with you. I believe you,” Winston told Madeline sincerely before turning to tell the care worker, “Don’t worry about it. If the police come and ask, just tell them the truth about what you saw.”

The care worker gave Madeline and Jeremy a fearful glance before she nodded and left.

Jeremy and Madeline were now alone in the room.

His gaze was warm and confident as he took away the arm he placed around Madeline’s shoulder.

“I believe you, Linnie.”

Madeline smiled faintly. “I’ve had my fair share of these ‘conclusive evidence’ situations, haven’t I? I’m probably used to it already.”

Used to it.

Jeremy found the phrase extremely ironic.

She had gotten used to being wronged, which meant she had suffered too many unwarranted slander and charges.

Seeing the pain and regret in Jeremy’s eyes, Madeline turned around without a care.

Jeremy did not want to disturb her, nor did he want Madeline to hate him anymore, so he stood quietly as he watched her leave.

…

Madeline spent the rest of the day with the old master until the sky turned dark.

Jeremy left the study now that he was done with work and walked toward the old master’s room in hopes to speak to Madeline. He saw her lying on the study table.

With a book in hand, she had fallen asleep quietly. She was unguarded in a way that reminded him of an innocent child.

‘She must be exhausted.’

Jeremy thought to himself caringly as he turned to leave the room. He returned shortly after with a blanket in hand as he carefully walked toward Madeline and covered her body with it.

Jeremy had intended to leave and not disrupt her any further after placing a blanket on her, but he found himself unable to hold back as his warm fingertips fell on and massaged the crease of her eyebrows.

His heartbeat slowly turned joyful. He understood the sudden sweetness that washed over him.

However, his heart clenched painfully as his fingertips fell on Madeline’s cheek.

Her fair and flawless cheek had been marred with a wretched gash back then when Meredith disfigured her face.

She had been in so much pain, yet he tore the bandage away and mocked about how her wound was fake.

‘I’m sorry, Linnie.’

He apologized internally as he leaned down to steal a peck on Madeline’s cheek.

The temperature of her face swarmed his heart with warmth.

Like a thief who had stolen something, he immediately fled and pretended as if he never went to the room at all.

Soon after, Madeline woke naturally to find herself covered by a blanket. There was a slightly minty scent. If memory served her right, that was also how Jeremy smelled like.

Dazed, her phone vibrated in notification of a call from Felipe.

He had already arrived at the villa’s gates to fetch Madeline home.

Madeline replied before packing up to leave after seeing that the old master was still serenely asleep.

She closed the room door behind as she left, only to have Jeremy appear before her.

“Are you going back? I can send you if you want.”

“No thanks.” Madeline rejected curtly. “Felipe’s already waiting for me outside.”

Madeline turned to leave before Jeremy could even retract the disappointment in his eyes.

Seeing Jeremy walk out with Madeline, Felipe alighted the car to wrap his arms around Madeline. The corners of Felipe’s lips tugged into a smirk as he looked at Jeremy before suddenly leaning down to press a kiss between Madeline’s brows.

Felipe’s peck was sudden, and as shocked as Madeline was, she could not help but remember that Jeremy was right behind them.

Something told her that Felipe kissed her just for Jeremy to see, but she got in the car quietly without commenting on it.

Felipe gave Jeremy, whose expression screamed of frost, a glance from the corner of his eyes as his lips curled into a mocking smile.

He alighted the car and stepped on the accelerator.

In the passenger seat, Madeline’s eyes could not help but stare at the diminishing figure from the rear-view mirror.

Under the moonlight, the heavy loneliness and torment could not be more clear on the man’s face.

He was evidently displeased, but he was also suppressing it.

Madeline thought Felipe would send her back to Montgomery Manor, but the car had instead stopped at a single villa in the outskirts of town.

As far as she could remember, she had never spent the night here before.

Felipe brought Madeline to her designated room and had the maids bring her amenities and sleepwear.

“You must be exhausted after taking care of that old master the entire day. Go take a bath.” Felipe instructed softly as he patted Madeline’s long hair. “Did Jeremy do anything to you?”

Madeline shook her head. “I don’t think he’d dare.”

“That’s good, then.” Felipe smiled faintly. “Go take a bath.”

He turned and left, closing Madeline’s door behind him.

The warm smile on his face vanished the moment he closed the door.

Ever since Madeline had woken up after that day by the sea and he took Madeline from Jeremy’s arms, he could feel that something in Madeline changed.

He had no idea what happened between the two of them on the island during those two days, but Madeline’s treatment of Jeremy seemed to be different now.

In the quiet of the night.
