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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1011

Lana thought she misheard him, but she watched clearly as Jeremy’s pretty thin lips parted to speak. “Cigarette.”

Cigarette.

He had come to ask her for a cigarette.

Lana’s eyes shone, the franticness within them vanishing at that moment.

She chuckled to herself. Not even the most determined man would be able to survive the torture of poison slowly killing them from the inside.

Lana walked toward him to smile appreciatively at his slightly hollowed features.

“I can give you the cigarette if you want, Jeremy, but you must willingly become mine.” Lana gave her requirement as she stared at Jeremy with desire in her eyes.

Jeremy stared at the heinous smile and replied, “Fine.”

Lana was elated, staring at him with her intoxicated eyes as she lowered her voice. “If that’s the case, then how about you prove your determination? I’ve gotten a little scared of you since the day you treated me that way because of Eveline. Console me?”

Her words heavily hinted at Jeremy, and he understood.

“Hotel. Your pick,” Jeremy replied curtly.

Lana was ecstatic. She never expected she would get the chance to sleep with Jeremy.

She immediately picked a hotel and booked a room before leading him over.

Entering the room, Lana immediately went to take a bath.

After taking a quick bath, she shook her head.

She felt a little dizzy from the drinks she had in the bar, but it was a nice buzz.

Wrapping herself in a towel, Lana then opened the bathroom door and was hit with a special scent. Jeremy must have lit an incense.

In a daze, she saw the man she dreamed about sitting by the bed. Impatient, she pounced at him…

The night ended and morning came.

Turning around, Lana stared at Jeremy as he put on his clothes by the bed.

The morning sun shone on the man’s handsome brows as Lana stared at him, not able to get enough of his attractive features.

“It no wonders that Eveline loves you so much, Jeremy. You’re the most charismatic man I’ve met.” She stared besottedly at him.

Jeremy put on his clothes and went to light a cigarette on the side.

Admiring Jeremy as he smoked, Lana thought back to what happened last night.

Perhaps it was because she drank too much that she blacked out midway. Last night felt like a dream, but the dream felt real—real enough that she still felt sated.

She wanted Jeremy to stay, but he said that he had matters to tend to her.

Lana washed up and left the room, only to see an unattractive and ragged thug staring at her flirtatiously.

Lana rolled her eyes disgustedly. The fact that such people found interest in her made her want to vomit.

However, she was in a good mood today and decided to ignore it.

…

It was still early, and Madeline was making breakfast for Jackson and Lillian.

The siblings were obedient kids. Having had their breakfast, they then took their school bags and held hands as they hopped on the nanny van to school.

Madeline had offered to move out of Whitman Manor a month ago, but Karen managed to persuade her to stay.

She would not be able to take care of all three children if she moved out.

Turning to walk back inside, she suddenly received a call from Ava.

“Did you see it, Maddie? I thought Jeremy already got his memories back? What’s he doing this time?” Ava’s voice was filled with anger. “How could he hurt you again and again?”

Madeline did not understand but quickly found the news about Jeremy entering a hotel with a short-haired woman in the middle of the night before leaving separately.

It had been a month since Madeline received any news of Jeremy. She never expected to receive it in such a way.

Others may not recognize her, but Madeline knew that it was Lana with just one look.

Madeline felt her vision darken for a while, but she was soon pulled back to reality when Ava called her name through the phone.

“Is Jeremy crazy, Maddie? Why would he get together with Lana?” Ava pitied Madeline.

Madeline gripped her phone and forced herself to calm down. “We’ve already gotten a divorce, Ava. Who he decides to spend his time with has nothing to do with me.”

Madeline hung up nonchalantly despite the shaking in her heart.

‘Why, Jeremy? Have you truly gone mad?’

Dazed for the entire morning, Madeline only came back to reality when Ryan came to bring her out for lunch.

They arrived at that restaurant.

Madeline’s gaze instinctively fell on the seat she once sat with Jeremy, only to find it occupied by another woman.

Madeline turned to sit but was knocked into by someone from behind.

“Sorry.” She quickly apologized but was hit with the cooling scent that tugged at her heartstrings.

She looked up in disbelief, her eyes reflecting the man’s attractive features.

‘Jeremy?’

Madeline exclaimed internally in shock.

Jeremy quickly let go of his grip on Madeline now that she was back on her feet. His gaze was indifferent. “Are you alright, Miss Montgomery?”

Miss Montgomery.

What a familiar yet distanced title.

Madeline stepped out of his arms coldly without replying to him.

Jeremy did not comment on it, opting to turn to Ryan with a smile instead. “My ex-wife is a rare and great woman, Mr. Jones. If you truly like her, don’t let go.”

Jeremy’s words made Madeline feel uncomfortable.

She was about to speak when she heard Ryan reply gently, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Whitman. I won’t.”

Satisfied with the reply, he turned to look at Madeline who was glaring coldly at him before leaving.

Madeline then realized that the woman sitting with her back against her was Lana.

He was eating with Lana at the table they once sat at.

Ha.

Madeline had no idea what Jeremy was thinking at all.

She sat down despite the fact that her appetite had completely vanished. “In regards to what he said, Ryan, you can ignore it.”

Rya understood, but his gaze was sincere. “I’ve developed feelings for you after having spent time with you over the past month.”

Ryan’s reply took Madeline by surprise, but he continued to explain, “Naomi and I got engaged because it was my parents’ wish. There wasn’t anyone I had feelings for at the time, so I decided to accept it when my parents introduced me to a girl of similar status to tie a union.”

It turned out that this was the reason behind Ryan and Naomi’s relationship.

It explained why Ryan did not seem to show any form of sadness at all when he broke it off with Naomi. There were no feelings involved at all.

However, in the face of Ryan’s sudden confession and Jeremy’s ‘matchmaking’, Madeline felt uneasy and made an excuse to use the bathroom. She wanted some peace and quiet, only to have Lana’s proud smile appear in the mirror.

“You must be surprised, Eveline Montgomery. Since last night, Jeremy has become mine for real.”

Madeline loosened her balled-up fist and washed her hands nonchalantly.

However, Lana walked up to her to provoke her. “Jeremy sure is charming. I’ve never been so happy. Now I understand why you used such lowly methods to get him to marry you.

“But we’re not the same, Eveline. I didn’t do anything at all. Jeremy was the one who came to me instead.”

Proud of herself, Lana turned it up a notch with the taunts when she saw Madeline’s lack of response. “Do you think I’m joking, Eveline? You can go and take a look if you want. Jeremy still has the mark I bit on his shoulder last night! Haha… Ugh?”

Lana laughed freely, never having expected Madeline to reach out and grab her neck with a domineering look in her eyes.

“There’s a limit to my tolerance, Lana Johnson. For my kids, perhaps I can still maintain a shred of rationality, but there’s no limit to the things that I can do if you completely piss me off. You’ll stop bragging in front of me if you know what’s good for you.”

Madeline’s aura was overwhelming.

“Jeremy and I are already divorced. Who he wants to spend time with has nothing to do with me. If you like him so much, then treasure him and keep him for yourself. I don’t want him anymore!”

Madeline loosened her grip just as her warning came to an end.

Flushed, Lana coughed and tried to attack Madeline from behind. However, Madeline evaded it agilely and instead raised her hand to counterattack.

At that moment, Madeline felt a familiar hand suspending her hand in mid-air.
