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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 921

Upon hearing this, Lana’s eyes lit up immediately.

She hurriedly got up and walked into the room.

The man sitting on the bed was looking at the wounds on his body. When he suddenly heard someone barging in, he raised his eyebrows and looked toward the direction coldly.

Lana looked at those charming eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up ambiguously.

“You’ve finally woken up.”

…

Glendale.

A month later, Madeline was still numbing her thoughts by working daily. She would force herself to stop thinking about sorrowful things.

For the sake of the child in her belly and her lovely pair of children, she lived every day positively and optimistically.

As she was still unable to accept the fact that Jeremy was no longer alive, she still had to face insomnia during the lonely nights.

Madeline came to Whitman Corporation early Monday morning and sat in the seat that once belonged to Jeremy. She then proceeded to handle all kinds of complicated documents skillfully and swiftly.

When it was time for the morning meeting, she went ahead and attended it.

Although she was already the new CEO of Whitman Corporation and was recognized by Old Master Whitman, Madeline still asked her employees to call her Madam.

This address gave her the illusion that Jeremy was still alive, and this illusion had the ability to heal her broken heart.

It was almost noon, and just when Madeline was about to have a meal, her secretary came to inform her, “Madam, the head of Riverdawn Corporation mentioned that they want to change the shipment date and design of the perfume. Mr. Jones has come over to discuss it with you. He’s currently waiting for you in the restaurant next door.”

Customers came first, so Madeline headed over to the restaurant immediately.

Since it happened to be lunchtime, it was a common thing in the business field to talk about work over lunch.

Madeline went to the restaurant, but she did not expect the meet-up place to be the restaurant with many memories.

Although those memories were not beautiful, as long as there was him in the picture, they were all memorable to Madeline.

It was the same table by the window. The only difference was that the person in front of her was no longer Jeremy.

Madeline ordered the dishes she had ordered before, but when she ate the food, she felt that even the taste was not as good as before.

She knew that it was all because of Jeremy who had left.

Seeing Madeline’s light appetite, Ryan asked with a polite smile, “Are the dishes here not suited to Mrs. Whitman’s appetite?”

Only then did Madeline pull her thoughts back together after hearing his words. She smiled lightly, saying, “My appetite might have changed a lot because of my pregnancy. I used to like the food here.”

“It’s because you were with Mr. Whitman all the times before that’s why the food here was delicious, yes?” Ryan’s words made Madeline dwell deeply in her thoughts again.

Seeing that Madeline had been struck dumb, Ryan apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Whitman. I’ve reminded you of something unhappy.”

Madeline shook her head as she came back to her senses. “It’s okay. Mr. Jones, you can go ahead and tell me about the request regarding the wedding ring design. I’ll change it later when I get back.”

She smiled and looked at the man in front of her.

Ryan was the only child of the Jones family, one of the four giants in Glendale.

This man had a blessed and superior appearance. He was tall and had good looks as well.

Coupled with his munificent family background, he was the dream lover of many ladies.

However, he got engaged a month ago. It was said that his partner was a rich lady from Advent City, a lady with both beauty and wisdom.

Madeline had been in contact with Ryan several times before. This man was indeed the same as what she had heard from others. He was gentle, polite, gentlemanly, and very fond of his fiancée.

That was why he invited Madeline to talk about the design of the wedding ring today.

Madeline noted down Ryan’s request one by one, then proceeded to pay the bill and was prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the moment she stood up, she stepped on a small puddle by her feet and suddenly lost balance of her body.

Madeline instinctively protected her more than six months pregnant belly and held onto the table with her other hand. Yet, before she could grab onto the edge of the table, a palm held her hand tightly. Her body was then stabilized by a strong arm.

“You scared me there, Mrs. Whitman. Are you alright?”

Ryan’s concerned voice rang in her ears, and Madeline breathed out a sigh of relief. She quickly thanked him. “Fortunately I had Mr. Jones. Thank you for your help.”

When the waiter saw this scene, he quickly came over to apologize and offered to give Madeline a waiver on her bill.

Madeline did not pursue the matter further. She went back to the company after she thanked Ryan.

After returning home, Madeline began designing the wedding ring seriously.

Then on the next day, she went to Whitman Manor early in the morning.

In a blink of an eye, Jeremy had been gone for a month and today was the one-month anniversary of his death.

The moment Madeline stepped in through the door, however, Karen then said to her strangely, “Oh, it seems that you remember what day it is today? You’re actually putting on quite the comprehensive act for this affectionate scene.”

Many relatives and friends were currently offering their respects to Jeremy, and there was even a funeral conductor present.

Upon hearing Karen’s words, they all looked at Madeline in unison.

Not wanting to argue with Karen, Madeline silently went forward to give her respects to Jeremy.

Seeing that Madeline was ignoring her, Karen’s expression collapsed as her tone became even more aggressive. “Eveline, don’t pretend to have any affection for Jeremy here. You have long wished that something would happen to Jeremy. The happiest person when Jeremy died would be you.”

Winston, who had just returned from outside, heard Karen targeting Madeline again as soon as he entered the door.

He hurried over to stop her. “Karen, are you done? If Eveline really doesn’t love and care about Jeremy, why would she still carry Jeremy’s posthumous child with so much difficulty?! Stop going overboard with your words!”

“What posthumous child? Maybe this child doesn’t even belong to Jeremy at all!”

The words that Karen blurted out were completely thoughtless.

Madeline turned around swiftly and said, “Karen, you can question my feelings for Jeremy and you can look for things to pick on me all day long, but please have better control of your mouth and don’t insult my children.”

“You…”

Karen pouted, feeling dissatisfied.

Winston then became upset. “With so many relatives and friends here, do you have any sense of rationality? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?”

“Of course I know! I even saw it!” Karen took out her phone angrily. She pointed to a news headline and threw the phone on the coffee table. “Eveline, I’m not wrongly accusing you! Jeremy has only left for slightly more than a month but you couldn’t even wait before hugging and cuddling other men publicly. And you’re still saying that you love Jeremy? Is this your love for Jeremy?”

Madeline looked down and saw the striking headline: [A month after her husband passed away, his wife threw herself into a new man’s embrace happily.]

There was also a photo attached to it, which showed the scene where Ryan was holding her back when she had almost fallen over at noon yesterday.

From the angle the photo was taken, they really seemed to be ‘hugging’.

Winston still trusted Madeline even after he was done reading it. “This must’ve been forged by someone else. If not, it’s probably a misunderstanding.”

“How could it have been forged? The man in the photo is Ryan, the only son of the Jones family!” Karen looked at Madeline contemptuously. “Huh, you’re pretty good at looking for a target and found yourself an engaged man. Is that how Mrs. Montogomery taught her daughter?”

After these words were spoken, everyone whispered and gossiped about Madeline.

“Jeremy had only left for so long and already she couldn’t bear being lonely.”

“I’ve heard Karen say that this woman isn’t obedient at all.”

“It’s really unfortunate for the family.”

Madeline listened to the slander directed at herself. She walked up to Karen calmly and said, “Even as Jeremy’s mother and my mother-in-law, I don’t expect you to treat your daughter-in-law well. But you don’t even have the slightest respect when it comes to being a human. Karen, I’ll immediately prove to you that the gossips on the internet are all imaginary fabrications. By then, I want you to apologize to me in public!”

“What? You want me to apologize to you? You were the one who did something that you should be apologetic to Jeremy for, and you dare to ask me to apologize?! You—”

“Stop it! Don’t you think you’re being shameful enough already?” Winston grabbed Karen who was criticizing Madeline non-stop.

Madeline did not want to argue with Karen any longer. She left right after she gave her respects to Jeremy.

The summer thunderstorm came suddenly. While Madeline’s car was stopped in front of the red light, she stared blankly at the wedding ring on her ring finger.

‘Jeremy, I’m so tired, I really miss you so much.’

Her eyes were warm. She then looked out the window, but this one look shocked her completely.

“Jeremy?”

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 923

Through the car window, Madeline saw the face that she had been dreaming of.

She hurriedly lowered the window and stared blankly at the man sitting in the passenger seat of the car next door.

Through the curtain of rain, the outline of the man’s resolute and graceful profile fell into her sight.

Madeline stared incredulously while her heartbeat gradually became faster. “Jeremy…” she softly called out, and the man in the car turned his face toward her.

However, the light had turned to green at this moment and the car drove away right past her with a swish.

It seemed that what happened at that instant was merely an illusion.

Madeline was in a daze until a honking sound came from behind, urging her to move. Only then did she step on the accelerator, but the car from just now was already nowhere to be found. She did not remember the license plate number of the car either.

Madeline immediately investigated the incident through her connections, but nothing was found.

‘Jeremy, is it because I miss you so much that’s why I’m having hallucinations?’

She asked herself, but no one could answer her.

The next day, just as Madeline had arrived at the company and before she could even enter the building, a group of gossip media reporters had already surrounded her. They started questioning her immediately.
