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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 681

When Meredith heard Madeline’s words, she felt happy.

Since Jeremy was pretending to be her lover to avoid Madeline, why would he go with Madeline?

She laughed to herself and took the initiative to walk to Jeremy’s side. She smiled widely. “Miss Montgomery, you’re Jeremy’s ex-wife, so I hope that you won’t come near Jeremy again because as Jeremy’s current girlfriend, I’m uncomfortable with it.”

Karen naturally chose to stand on Meredith’s side. “Madeline, you’ve seen them and heard what she said. I hope you know how you should behave!”

Madeline casually glanced at the two women in front of her, her gaze falling on their faces.

“Jeremy, you should make your own decision to decide whether you want to go or stay.”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked toward the door leisurely.

When they saw Jeremy standing still, both Karen and Meredith were quite satisfied.

However, their satisfaction only lasted for two seconds before they saw Jeremy taking big steps toward the door.

He did not care whether he was going to bump into things as he chased after Madeline eagerly.

Just like last night, even if his world was dark and uncertain, the thought of Madeline made his heart float.

“Linnie.”

Jeremy caught up with Madeline and called out to her.

Madeline knew that he had made his choice and stood by the car. She opened the door and said, “Get in.”

Jeremy got in the car obediently, and out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Karen and Felicity coming out of the house. Her lips curled up into a smile.

“It seems it’s not me who needs to learn how to behave.”

“…”

Karen felt as if she was slapped in the face by Madeline again. She clenched her fists angrily.

Madeline smiled and looked at Felicity. “Miss Walker, some things are still better if it’s the original, don’t you think so?”

“…”

Meredith’s eyes darkened because she knew that Madeline was mocking her face.

She was taunting her as being just a stand-in!

She could not lose to that.

How could she swallow down that insult?!

She had pretended to be Madeline for so many years in the past in order to make Jeremy think that she was that little girl. She never wanted to be a substitute for Madeline again!

She knew that Felipe had been out of Glendale for a while and she felt it was necessary to make Madeline suffer.

Otherwise, when Felipe came back, she would not be able to get her chance to do so!

…

Jeremy did not expect Madeline to take him to the hospital to change his dressing and re-dress his wound.

He could feel a vague sense of care from Madeline, but sometimes, he could tell that she still hated him very much.

After he got his wound bandaged, Jeremy followed behind Madeline.

Maybe it was because he enjoyed the time with her too much and coupled with the fact that he could not see, Jeremy started walking askew.

When Madeline saw that he was about to hit the trash can, she reflexively reached out and grabbed his hand. “Come here.”

There was an unprecedented overbearingness in her tone, but it also sounded a little impatient.

Jeremy never thought that Madeline would hold his hand. Her warm and soft touch reminded him of his affection for Madeline.

The rhythm of his heartbeat became pleasant until they entered the elevator. There were murmuring whispers that pulled him back to reality. “I think it’s her.”

“Yes, I’m sure it’s her. I remember that she’s pretty.”

“Tsk, so what if she’s pretty? Does being pretty mean you can throw a tantrum on the road, cause your boyfriend to get hit by a car, and have him get sent to the intensive care unit?!”

“Exactly! She’s the siren who has drawn him to his ruin. I feel so bad for that handsome guy!”

Actually, Madeline could feel the strange looks from the chatty women right when she entered the elevator, so she already knew what was coming for her.

When Jeremy heard those words, he could not help but frown.

He could tell that the siren these women were talking about was referring to Madeline while the handsome guy they mentioned was him.

Sure enough, someone screamed in his direction in the next second. “Isn’t he the blind handsome guy from the video?!”

“Isn’t he dead?!”

“Who said he died? He was sent into the intensive care unit!”

“But do you think he looks like he just came out of the intensive care unit?”

When Jeremy heard that, he could not just ignore it.

“Who said that my girlfriend’s a siren? Why would you say such nonsense?” he said in a cold voice, a bitter aura oozing off him.

The gossipping ladies nearby were a little shocked by Jeremy’s aura, but they still advised kindly and said, “Mr. Handsome, looks are useless. Your girlfriend’s personality is much too horrible. Just break up with her!”

“Yeah! Even though you escaped a disaster, she’ll be the death of you in the future!”

After they advised Jeremy, they pointed their fingers at Madeline to teach her a lesson.

“And you, what’s the matter with you, girl? Quarreling with your boyfriend on the roadside? So what if he complains a little about you? A woman like you who’s selfish and reckless just because you’re beautiful will eventually get dumped by all men!”

Madeline smiled instead of getting angry. She glanced at Jeremy who had a sullen face and went along with it. “It seems that in order to prevent myself from getting dumped by you, I have to dump you first, right?”

Madeline pretended to let go of his hand.

Jeremy stretched out his slender fingers and hurriedly clasped her five fingers. He looked for her in a daze and stared eagerly at her beautiful eyes. “Linnie, I need you. Don’t leave me.”

When the people around heard it, they all said, “This handsome guy is too stupid! If he can’t leave this kind of woman, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life!”

“Regret?” Jeremy said coldly, “What do you know? If Linnie hadn’t saved me, I would have died! How can you guys point fingers at my Linnie based on the untrue reports on the internet? If one day all of you find out the whole story, will you apologize to her? If you won’t, then shut your mouth now!”

The chatty women acted as if no fake news could come from the internet. Since they saw the video, it would not be untrue!

“Just from you guys saying that I was hit by a car and went into the intensive care unit, it’s enough to show how fake the things mentioned on the internet are!”

“Uh…”

“I…”

Jeremy’s words dumbfounded the chatty women and none of them dared to say another word.

After the elevator doors opened, Jeremy took Madeline’s hand and strode forward.

He almost forgot that he was blind when he led her forward.

Only then did he find out that what happened last night was put on the internet with false and exaggerated information, making Madeline the target of attacks and abuse by netizens as well as keyboard warriors.

Everyone thought that Madeline was an unreasonable person who got him killed.

However, they did not know the truth of how desperate Madeline was to save him.

Jeremy held Madeline’s hand with even more heartache, but she broke free from his grasp in the next second.

“I’ll send you back now. I think your girlfriend should be waiting for you for your therapy session.”

“She’s not my girlfriend and I didn’t know that Felicity looks a lot like you.” Jeremy explained and felt for Madeline’s hand again. “Linnie, I’m sorry. My self-righteous decision not only made you unhappy, but it also made you look like the bad person.”

“It’s not the first I’m made out to be the bad person.” Madeline smiled indifferently and pulled Jeremy to the parking lot.

When she just walked to the car and was about to open the door, she saw a card stuck in the door handle.

Madeline thought it was an advertisement. Though when she picked it up and glanced at the content on the card, she was stunned by it.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 683

Madeline took the card and looked around after reading it silently.

“Linnie, what’s the matter?” Jeremy was a little confused when he did not hear anything from Madeline.

“It’s nothing,” Madeline said and opened the passenger door. “Get in the car.”

Jeremy could sense that something strange had happened but did not question her and got into the car obediently.

Madeline got in the car and glanced at the words printed on the card. [Watch your back, Eveline Montgomery.]

It was obviously not a kind reminder but an arrogant warning instead.

The person called her Eveline Montgomery.

Madeline glanced at Jeremy next to her. His quiet expression gave her peace.

Moreover, the way he defended himself in the elevator just now showed that he did not let his blindness make him any weaker.

He was Jeremy, still the same old Jeremy.

Madeline did not think much of it and started the car.

…

After Jeremy and Madeline left, Felicity also left.

Karen sat in the living room with dissatisfaction and muttered to herself. After tanning, Old Master Whitman came back inside. When he saw Karen still cursing, he frowned and said in annoyance, “You still don’t know what you did wrong after all this time? Why are you still blaming Maddie? Why don’t you think about how you treated Maddie in the first place?”

“What did I do to her? I just scolded her a little but she’s holding a grudge until now.” Karen smacked her lips and was extremely dissatisfied. “I have something to say to you too, Old Master Whitman. She took our huge family business away and you’re still talking for her? Well, all I wish for her is the worst!”

“Be honest with yourself. Did you only scold her a few times? At that time, Maddie was suffering so much and you only added fuel to the fire by exaggerating everything!” Old Master Whitman scolded angrily.

Karen still did not care. “The suffering she got was fated for her. You can’t blame anyone for it. Even if she died back then, it’d be her own fate!”

“You… Ugh. It’s impossible to talk to you.” Old Master Whitman felt that he could not say anything to Karen to make her understand. He then steered his wheelchair into the room.

When Karen saw that Old Master Whitman was ignoring her, she snorted and grabbed a handful of pistachios. “It’s Madeline’s fault that she has bad luck. Why should he be angry at me?”

She said disapprovingly when she suddenly heard a noise from the door.
