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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1121

Ryan had just picked up his glass of water when he heard that. His hand was now frozen in mid-air.

There was a faint smile on his handsome and elegant face. “Jeremy, I think you may have misunderstood.”

“Have I?” Jeremy smiled profoundly. There seemed to be a dark tide in his amber eyes. “If you don’t want me to misunderstand, give me back my woman.”

Ryan understood what Jeremy was talking about. Then, he took a sip of water. “Even though your appearance has changed a lot, you’re still as possessive and overbearing as usual.”

“You’re also one of the reasons why I became like this,” Jeremy retorted.

The smile on Ryan’s face froze. “I think you’ve found out a lot. However, I don’t think you’ve gotten all of the information yet. There are some things that you’ll never know.”

Jeremy lifted his eyebrow. When he was about to say something, Madeline returned.

“What are you boys talking about?” Madeline smiled slightly and asked. Then, she walked over to where Jeremy was sitting. Before she could sit down, Jeremy stood up abruptly and held her hand.

Madeline looked at him in curiosity. “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”

Then, Jeremy leaned down and pressed his lips against Madeline’s right in front of Ryan.

Madeline was shocked by the sudden kiss. Then, she heard Jeremy say, “Ryan and I are done talking. You’ll sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”

That fast?

Madeline was in disbelief, but she did not suspect anything.

She looked at Ryan who got up with a smile. “Yeah, Jeremy and I have reached a compromise. Let’s sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”

Ryan answered without hesitation, making Madeline feel touched and glad. “Thank you, Rye.”

“Protecting you and your family is one of my tasks. I’m happy now that I’ve completed my task,” Ryan said, getting ready to leave. “You guys just reunited, so you should spend more time together. I’ll get going now.”

Madeline wanted to keep Ryan here, but then she heard Jeremy say, “Bye.”

Ryan smiled and looked into Jeremy’s eyes before turning around.

After Ryan left, Jeremy sat back down and picked up the menu.

When he noticed Madeline looking in the direction where Ryan left, he pulled her back to him. Then, he stared at her with his alluring eyes. “Why are you still looking at him? Are you unwilling to let him go?”

“…” Madeline felt that perhaps they had been apart for too long and that was why Jeremy was suspecting their relationship. That would explain why he was getting jealous so easily now as well.

She did not want to be mad at him. Life was long, but the time they were about to spend with each other was too little.

Madeline held Jeremy’s hand. “It has been so many years now. Don’t you know who’s the person I feel the most unwilling to let go of?”

After Jeremy heard that, the coldness in Jeremy’s eyes faded.

He ordered some food that were all Madeline’s favorites. He still remembered Madeline’s preferences as clear as day.

On the way home, Madeline looked at Jeremy and said while they were waiting for the red light, “Jeremy, stop ignoring Lily. Even though she still doesn’t know that you’re her father, she really likes you.”

Jeremy looked at the blinking red light as a countdown started appearing in his head. Then, his expression became grim.

Madeline noticed that he was ignoring her, so she looked over curiously. “Jeremy, did you hear me? Lily is our daughter. She’s still traumatized after what Lana did to her, so that’s why she can’t speak. You’re her birth father and she needs the love of a father, Jeremy. Jeremy?”

Jeremy’s indifference concerned Madeline. She reached over to try to hold his hand when suddenly, Jeremy grasped her wrist tightly.

He was holding her hand extremely tight, making her frown in pain. Then, she saw the malice in Jeremy’s eyes. The sight of him looked extremely horrifying.

“Stop talking,” Jeremy uttered those two words impatiently, looking at her as if he was looking at an enemy he resented.

Madeline endured the pain on her wrist and said calmly, “What’s wrong, Jeremy? I’m Linnie.”

Linnie.

That name flew right into Jeremy’s ears and into his heart.

The malice in his eyes disappeared as his dark eyes immediately turned bright.

It was as if he just noticed himself holding Madeline with such a tight grip. He quickly let go and caressed her wrist. “Did I hurt you?”

Madeline shook her head. “No. But Jeremy, why did you react like that just now? What happened to you when you disappeared?”

Jeremy remained quiet, his brows knitted together tightly.

However, he did not say anything. Instead, he only stepped down on the accelerator and continued driving.

‘What happened to me when I disappeared?’ he asked himself silently.

In order to stay alive and come back to her, he had to suffer such severe consequences.

It was still early when they went back to Whitman Manor. Lillian and Jackson were sitting on the rug near the coffee table while playing with a puzzle.

When Madeline saw the smile on Lillian’s face, she felt relieved.

However, she was worried that Jeremy might ignore Lillian again and hurt her fragile heart. As such, she grabbed Jeremy’s hand to hint at him.

“Hold Lily. Don’t make her sad.”

After Madeline said that, Lillian looked over at them.

When she saw Jeremy standing next to Madeline, her eyes darkened. Her gaze looked like that of a wounded deer as she looked timidly at Jeremy. She did not run to him again. She had already stopped running to the handsome mister in her heart.

Lillian’s avoidance only gave Jeremy a reason not to get close to her.

At this moment, Karen led Pudding out from the side hall. He was learning how to walk. He blinked his bright eyes as he walked shakily over to Jeremy.

When he was about to get close to Jeremy, he lost his balance and was about to fall.

Jeremy did not hesitate before reaching out to hold the little boy.

When Lillian saw this, her eyes darkened even more.

The little girl walked out after turning around. Madeline saw the little figure from the corner of her eyes. Then, she looked at the man holding Pudding before following Lillian.

Lillian was holding a lollipop as she sat on the stairs while looking at the stars.

She was at the age where she should be carefree, but she looked as if she had so many troubles in her heart.

“Lily.” Madeline sat down next to the little girl. “Are you sad?”

Lillian looked at Madeline and snuggled closer to her.

She wanted to call out to her mother, but she felt like something was in her throat. She could not make a sound.

Madeline held the child in her arms. “Lily, actually, there’s something I never told you because I figured you’re still young and might not know what I mean.”

Lillian blinked in confusion while looking at Madeline seriously.

Madeline looked at her eyes in pity and caressed the little girl’s hair.

“Actually, the handsome mister is your real daddy. The daddy from before isn’t your real daddy.

“Since Daddy is very petty, he deliberately gets mad at you and ignores you because he thinks you don’t want to call him daddy. So, can you be brave and call the handsome mister ‘Daddy’?”

Madeline said this so that Lillian could face the issue of Jeremy being her birth father squarely.

Of course, if she was able to make Lillian talk, then it would be amazing.

“Lily, do you understand what I’m saying?” Madeline asked patiently.

Lillian blinked her huge eyes as if she understood. Then, she kicked her short legs and walked back to the living room.

She looked at Jeremy, her bright eyes reflecting Jeremy’s figure.

“Lily, the handsome mister is your real daddy,” Madeline repeated once more.

She did not know if Lillian could understand her, but at least she saw a twinkle in the little girl’s eyes.

Perhaps to make Lillian talk again and heal her trauma, she might need to do more than just counseling.

After the children went back to their rooms, so did Madeline and Jeremy.

Jeremy went into the bathroom to shower while Madeline went to prepare for the divorce procedure.

At this moment, Ryan called her.

Madeline answered without hesitation. “Rye, is there something wrong?”

On the other end of the phone, Ryan said in a gentle tone, “I went back to my parents’ place for my documents and they were mad after they found out we’re getting a divorce. They might call you, but it’s okay if you choose not to answer.”

After she heard that, Madeline felt apologetic. “I’m sorry, Rye. You’re such an exceptional person, but now you’ll have the label of a divorcee because of me.”

Ryan replied calmly, “Actually, I’m happy that I was able to have this fake marriage with you.”

From his words, she could sense his fondness and admiration for her.

Madeline stayed silent for a few minutes before saying, “Rye, I appreciate you so much. You’ll meet someone better than me…”

Before Madeline could finish, she felt a wet hand holding her chin all of a sudden.

She was then forced to turn her head. In the next moment, she felt Jeremy’s lips pressing down on hers.

“Mhm…”

Madeline felt her face heating up because she was still on the call.

She wanted to hang up the call, but Jeremy grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall.

The phone fell to the floor with a muffled thud. Madeline looked at the screen of her phone and noticed that the call was still ongoing. She felt her ears heating up, so she turned her face away to avoid him.

“Jeremy, wait…”

Jeremy held her chin in place and looked into Madeline’s flustered eyes with his intense gaze.

“Look at me.”

“…”

“Don’t think about other men right now.” Jeremy kissed Madeline’s eyebrow. “Eveline Montgomery, I’m your man.”

After he said that, he picked Madeline up.

Then, he peered at the phone that had fallen to the floor. The lit screen showed that the call had not ended.
