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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1271

Madeline’s heart started racing after she heard Ryan’s words.

The two people in her mind were her parents.

“Go change your clothes. I’ll wait for you downstairs.” Ryan was all serious and did not seem to be fooling around.

After Ryan exited the room, Madeline quickly locked the door and changed into another set of clothes before rushing downstairs.

After being brought to this place by Ryan, she had never once left the room.

It was only now she realized that the house was elegantly decorated.

‘They say this is a holiday villa. But in this whole world, how many villas are this expensive and meticulously decorated?’

What puzzled Madeline the most was ever since Naomi’s appearance that day, she had never seen her again.

Of course, she would not be a busybody and ask Ryan about her.

Ryan had also changed his clothes. He wore a suit with a necktie, making him look elegant.

Madeline followed him to the courtyard.

The current weather of Y Country was like autumn in Glendale. The sunlight that shone over their bodies did not feel warm at all, and the breeze was chilly.

Ryan was still behaving like a gentleman, opening the car door for Madeline. Only then did he enter the car.

Madeline was puzzled. Ryan was already listed as a wanted criminal. Both the police and Interpol should be on the search to arrest him, yet he was still able to move around as he pleased and show himself in Y Country.

‘This man still holds lots of secrets that I’m not aware of.’

It was as though Ryan had seen through Madeline’s curiosity. He looked at her with a faint smile. “Don’t bother overthinking stuff. Some things, you’ll eventually come to know about them when I’m ready to let you know.”

“I’m not even interested in your matters. I just want to head home and spend my days with my family, peacefully.” Once again, Madeline expressed her inner thoughts.

Ryan’s gaze darkened. He looked unhappy.

“As I’ve said, I’m your family member. No matter where we go, we’re still husband and wife on official papers.”

Madeline could not argue back when Ryan said this.

She did not look back at him and tilted her head to face the window.

Coincidentally, the traffic light ahead shone red and the car came to a halt.

Madeline was casually looking out the window and she did not expect to see the outline that just passed by. It was the outline of the person who she had been thinking of day and night.

‘Jeremy?’

Madeline could not believe what she was seeing, but the man’s figure became clearer in her eyes.

Jeremy was looking for Madeline with a few other people, but unfortunately, their car broke down at the roadside.

At that moment, he was standing at the roadside and making a call. She stared at his two long brows that were frowning and his stunning face that was wearing a frustrated look.

Madeline quickly got down from the car and shouted to the man who was standing opposite the road, “Jeremy!”

Her sudden shriek made Jeremy and Ryan thunderstruck at the same time.

Jeremy, who was making a call, was dumbfounded the moment he heard Madeline’s voice.

He found it unbelievable and turned to face the direction of the voice, but he only managed to see a car leaving from his sight.

The voice earlier seemed like an auditory illusion as if it was a result of him missing Madeline too much.

‘But the voice seemed so real.’

“Did you guys happen to hear someone shouting my name?” Jeremy asked the men beside him.

The two guys who were tagging along frowned. “I think I heard a woman’s voice earlier.”

“I think so too, but I didn’t catch what she was shouting.”

Jeremy’s heartbeat began to quicken when he heard their answers.

“It’s Linnie!”

He was very sure of it as his eyes glittered with hope.

“Linnie must have been somewhere here just now! She saw me!”

Jeremy could not be bothered about the red traffic light. Following his instinct and judgment, he ran across the road.

“Jeremy. Mmm—”

Madeline was about to make some noise when Ryan covered her mouth.

She saw the man who was slowly inching near her and raised her hand to knock on the car window, attempting to make an effort so that Jeremy could hear her. However, Ryan continued to stop her by grabbing both her hands.

He held Madeline tightly in his arms, preventing her from struggling.

“It’s not going to be a good thing if he sees you.” Ryan’s cold voice was heard coming from behind. “Have you forgotten who we’re going to meet now?”

He reminded her. As soon as he was done talking, he could feel that Madeline was no longer trying to struggle and go against him.

Her fists that were initially trying to slam the car window gradually loosened up, and finally, she put her hands down helplessly.

Madeline’s eyes were teary as she stared at Jeremy’s towering silhouette that was slowly coming closer. They were only less than three yards apart, but she felt as if they were separated by an invisible wall. Regardless of how she stretched her arms, she would not be able to touch him.

“Linnie! Linnie! Where are you?!” Jeremy stood on the street and shouted to the air blindly.

Madeline could not stop her tears from rolling down.

‘Jeremy, I’m just right in front of you, but I can’t extend my arms to you.’

“Linnie!”

Jeremy continued screaming while his eyes gleamed with endless worries and anxiety.

Madeline saw Jeremy’s anxious and fearful expression. She noticed just how much he wanted to find and meet her.

She recalled the kind of man Jeremy was. He was currently like a big child who had lost his sense of direction because he had lost his treasure. Hence, he ended up crying on the busy streets.

“Linnie!”

Jeremy’s shouting struck Madeline hard, and she felt as if her heart was being split into half. It hurt so much that she could not even breathe.

‘Jeremy…’

The traffic light turned green, and the car started its journey again.

Madeline did not make a single sound and just stared at Jeremy as the car drove away from him.

As for his figure that was blindly looking all over the place for her, it slowly turned blurry because of the tears in her eyes.

Ryan knew Madeline was crying because of the tears that were dripping down his fingertips.

The warmth he felt from those tears made him frown.

“Wipe away your tears.” He handed his handkerchief over to her and said in a domineering tone, “Don’t ever let me see you crying over another man again.”

“You’re the ‘another man’.” Madeline looked at Ryan with a cold stare. “In this world, he’s the only man who will make me cry for him.”

“Oh really?” Ryan’s eyes were brewing with hatred. “If that’s the case, let’s head back for now. You don’t have to see the people you want to meet.”

“Hmph.” Madeline snorted and raised her teary eyes that did not seem to have any sense of fear in them. “Besides using an underhanded method to restrict and threaten me, what else do you have? Ryan, with this, you’ll never be better than Jeremy.”

She tilted her head and wiped away her tears with her fingertips. She vowed not to reveal her weak side in front of other men aside from Jeremy.

Ryan glanced at Madeline’s side profile which looked stony. He did not have any opposing ideas. Instead, his eyes were full of admiration.

He felt defeat and let out a chuckle. Perhaps he was touched by Madeline’s perseverance.

The car continued its journey, and after half an hour, the car came to a halt at the entrance of a villa that was located in the outskirts.

Ryan got down from the car and opened the door for Madeline.

Madeline walked over to the entrance and saw two very huge bodyguards guarding the place. They immediately greeted Ryan politely when they noticed his presence.

Ryan said coldly, “Where are they?”

“In the house,” answered the bodyguard.

Madeline’s heart started racing after she heard it.

Ryan smirked when he noticed Madeline’s expression changing. “You can now enter and go collect the surprise I’ve prepared for you.”

Madeline looked at Ryan and felt as if her emotions were being tied up by something invisible.

She looked at the door straight ahead and slowly walked up.

Madeline’s pulse went erratic when she started predicting what she was about to see.

Step by step, she walked ahead. Just as she reached the entrance, she heard someone pouring water and it was followed by the appearance of a face right in front of her eyes. This was the same face she could only see in her dreams.

Madeline’s eyes immediately became red. She raised her hands and supported herself on the door frame.
