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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 821

Staring at her frowning face, Jeremy curled his lips. “How could I be so daring to make fun of my aunt?”

He walked to her front. “I was done with my meeting a long time ago. It’s just that I saw you sleeping, so it would’ve been rather inconvenient to wake you up.”

“…” After hearing what he had to say, Madeline felt that she was the one at fault.

Seeing Madeline daydreaming, Jeremy stared at the blanket which Madeline was holding onto.

“Aunty, please don’t go making wild guesses that I’m the one who covered you with this blanket. It’s the lady from the front desk who did it. It’s none of my business.”

He denied that the incident had anything to do with him. His eyes did not show any sign of concern toward her nor could traces of missing her be found.

Madeline grasped the blanket tightly and smiled. “It looks like I’ve really misunderstood. If that’s the case, then can you please book an appointment, Mr. Whitman? I don’t want to waste too much time on just your case alone.”

“Aren’t there any more jewelry designers in Whitman Corporation? Do they have to rely on the wife of the director who’s currently pregnant to bear with this burden?”

“The company’s issues are Felipe’s issues, and Felipe’s issues are also his wife’s issues. I’m very delighted to carry out tasks for my husband,” Madeline replied.

Jeremy’s expression changed after hearing her reply. “I’m envious of my uncle for having such a good wife.”

His stunning face inched closer as he spoke. His low and attractive voice surrounded her ears.

“Say, if I knew how to appreciate you from the very beginning, would you have done anything for me just like you are now for Felipe? Will you be missing me?”

Madeline was at a loss for words.

“Eveline, tomorrow at nine in the morning, I’ll wait for you in the office,” Jeremy blurted out such a comment before leaving.

Madeline could not understand why she would bring upon herself such torture.

On the next day, she arrived at Jeremy’s office right on time. However, to her surprise, Yvette was present as well.

Jeremy gave Yvette the authority to make any decisions, and according to Yvette’s preferences, Madeline did the design on the spot.

Yvette stared at the design and admired it with satisfaction. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re indeed a very capable designer in this industry. This design is just perfect.”

“If she’s really that great, she wouldn’t have needed so many tries to succeed,” Jeremy blurted out a very sarcastic comment as if he was dissatisfied with Madeline’s design.

“Jeremy, it’s because you have such a high requirement. Mrs. Whitman’s design is very special.”

“It’s not because I have a high requirement. I just hope that the wedding ring I’m going to gift you is perfect,” Jeremy spoke in a loving tone.

Madeline did not wish to stay around and watch them both acting intimately before her. She packed up her stuff, got up to her feet, and left.

“Hold on, Mrs. Whitman. The cheesecake that I’m baking is going to be ready. You’ve been busy the entire morning. Why not have some before you leave?” Yvette said with a smile, her words seemingly said out of good intentions.

Just when Madeline was about to reject her offer, Yvette had already made her way to the pantry.

Only Madeline and Jeremy were left in the office. In the end, she still decided to leave and not stay around.

“Could you please pass the word to your wife-to-be that I’m grateful for her good intentions? I’ll take my leave now.”

“Those days, you were always looking forward to my appearance. Right now, even the sight of me makes you feel disgusted?” She heard the man’s crystal clear voice sneering from behind.

Madeline stopped her footsteps and felt that Jeremy was coming nearer to her.

“I know you hate me. During the days when you were madly in love with me and waited for my return every day, I made you suffer. But Linnie…

“Do you really not have any more feelings for me?”

‘Linnie.’

He called out to her with that name again, and Madeline felt as if her heart was about to jump out from her throat.

While she was still absent-minded, Jeremy walked to her front and revealed his pair of passionate orbs. “I’ll soon be engaged with another lady. If you tell me right now that you still have feelings for me and you’re willing to give me another chance, I’ll immediately stop this engagement. As long you speak up, I, Jeremy Whitman, will only have you as my only woman in my entire life.”

Staring at the pair of passionate eyes before her, Madeline felt that her emotions were a mess.

She obviously did not hope for him to get engaged with another lady, but just how on earth would she voice out her thoughts?

She could not afford to jeopardize Lillian’s safety anymore.

Seeing Madeline hesitating, Jeremy raised his right hand and pinched gently on her chin. His handsome face was getting closer to her.

Madeline stared at him blankly. Her long lashes blinked as she closed her eyes subconsciously.

However, just when her heart was pounding in delight, she heard a man chuckling in a low tone.

Madeline opened her eyes and saw Jeremy’s mesmerizing gaze revealing a playful expression.

“Were you expecting my kiss, Mrs. Whitman?”

“…”

“How very unfortunate. Now, I only kiss the woman I love.”

A sense of tease could be seen in his smile while his eyes glittered scornfully.

Madeline felt heartbroken, but she replied in a composed manner, “Did you really think that I was anticipating your kiss? I was just going along with your act. Jeremy, all you want is to hear me saying that I love you and am missing you, right? Unfortunately, how much I used to love you has now become how much I hate you. Got it?”

She put on a smile, avoided his gaze, and left the scene.

Stunned, Jeremy left his hand hovering in mid-air. The sparkle in his smile and eyes gradually faded away.

…

Time had passed, and it was already Saturday.

Madeline put on a neat gown. Holding onto Felipe’s arm, they both arrived at Jeremy and Yvette’s engagement ceremony.

She thought there would be a huge crowd at Jeremy’s engagement ceremony, yet only a few showed up.

Aside from her and Felipe, there were no outsiders here.

“I don’t fancy a crowd, hence the simplicity of the engagement ceremony,” Yvette explained with a smile, “Jeremy said Mr. and Mrs. Whitman are the two most important people in his entire life. That’s why we must include you both in our engagement ceremony.”

Felipe wore a smile. “Since Jeremy has said as such, I guess Eveline and I will witness it till the end.”

Just when he was done speaking, the chauffeur entered the hall at a fast pace.

The chauffeur whispered into Felipe’s ear, and the man’s expression instantly darkened

“Eveline, something urgent came up. I’ll just go out and make a quick call.”

“Alright.” Madeline nodded with a fake smile and sat at a corner by herself.

‘Wedding gown, bridal bouquet, and him.’

The scene before her made Madeline recall many things from the past.

The elegant man in a suit who once held her with their fingers interlocked also used to claim he only loved her alone.

However, he was currently holding another woman’s hand with such passion and was about to get engaged to her.

They each gave their vows, exchanged wedding rings, and finally, Jeremy’s face inched closer to Yvette’s before he kissed her on the cheek.

Madeline turned her face to the side, not wanting to witness the scene.

Perhaps it was a fluctuation of her emotions, but she suddenly felt unwell and started retching.

There was no one else present, so Madeline’s reaction caught the attention of Jeremy and Yvette.

“I’m sorry, I’m not feeling too good. You guys can just carry on with it,” Madeline said hurriedly. She hoisted her dress and headed to the side exit.

Yvette frowned at the sight of Madeline exiting hurriedly. “Do you want to go have a look at her?”

She had just opened her mouth when she saw Jeremy, with a serious look on his face, running toward Madeline and catching up to her.

Seeing Jeremy showing so much concern over Madeline, Yvette felt much better and let out a wide smile.

Feeling carefree, she sat at a corner, took out her phone, and looked at the news feed.

Felipe was done with his call and had returned. He wondered where Jeremy and Madeline had gone to as he only saw Yvette sitting all by herself on the long bench.

Of course, he did not want Jeremy and Madeline to be all alone by themselves, but after he saw the familiar outline, he cared a lot more about Yvette at this split second.

Felipe sauntered over, and when he was right behind Yvette, he saw her playing with her phone. What was more surprising to him was that Yvette’s phone case had a Pikachu design.

He suddenly thought of Cathy whose favorite cartoon character was Pikachu.

He felt his heartbeat skipping a beat.

Yvette sensed someone was standing behind her. Raising her eyes, she noticed it was Felipe. She was chilled and put on a shallow smile. “Mr. Whitman, why are you standing behind me? You look very serious. What are you looking at?”

Felipe stared at the face in front of him. “Miss Charis, you really look like a person I’m very familiar with.”

“Someone you’re very familiar with?” Yvette gradually stood up and asked, “I wonder how close Mr. Whitman is with this familiar person you mention?”

Felipe fixed his gaze on the almond eyes before him. “Does sleeping together count as being very close to each other?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 823

“Does sleeping together count as being very close to each other?” Felipe counter-questioned.

Yvette shook her head with a smile. “You can’t prove how close two people are just because they’ve slept with each other before. After all, there are way too many people having one-night stands these days.”

“We weren’t just having a one-night stand. I’ve spent many nights with her.” Felipe lowered his voice as he inched closer to Yvette. His eyes were sparkling with suspicion. Just when he attempted to examine her face meticulously, his phone rang.

He glanced at the incoming call and immediately wore a soothing smile. “Miss Charis, I have a call to answer. We’ll talk about it when we get the chance.”

“Sure, Mr. Whitman.” Yvette stared at Felipe as he spun around. Her smile gradually faded.

At the garden of the hall.

Madeline supported herself against the wall, unable to control herself from retching.

She could no longer differentiate whether it was because of her body feeling unwell, or it was because she was feeling emotionally disturbed when she witnessed Jeremy acting all intimately with another lady.

“What are you plotting at by taking on the suffering of conceiving a kid of a man who had harmed our daughter, Eveline?”

Jeremy’s inquiry that was uttered in an unsatisfied tone was heard from behind. Madeline came to realize that Jeremy had already shown up behind her.
