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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1411

Hearing Karen’s reply, Madeline made a confused sound of disbelief.

Jeremy’s narrow and charming eyes snapped open and his gaze fell on Madeline’s serious small face.

Madeline locked gazes with Jeremy as she continued to listen to Karen speak over the phone.

Soon after, Madeline hung up the phone.

Jeremy pulled her into his arms and asked caringly, “Did something happen to Mom?”

Madeline shook her head. “She’s fine. It’s just…”

“Just what?” Jeremy stared into Madeline’s glistening eyes.

Madeline took Jeremy’s phone and tapped into Twitter where she found today’s number one trend. She felt conflicted.

“Look, Jeremy.” She handed the phone to him and her frustration deepened.

Jeremy glanced at the content and a cold look flashed in his deep eyes.

The contents of the letter Old Master Jones wrote to Old Master Whitman were trending!

The lead was from an insider who knew of the truth behind the grievances between the Whitman and the Jones family 15 years ago.

“I remember giving the letter to Ryan’s dad and he said that he would destroy it. How could there be pictures of its contents uploaded online?”

Madeline was confused. This was indeed a troublesome incident.

“Now all of Glendale and even the entire world knows about this. Who knows how Ryan and the Jones family will feel if they saw this?”

Jeremy was deep in thought as he hugged Madeline. They were both in sitting positions.

“Grandfather and Ryan’s grandfather used to be good friends back then. It was this project ZF that caused a rift in their relationship.

“Grandfather had shown the project bidding book to Ryan’s grandfather out of trust back then. Ryan’s grandfather thought that some of the contents in the bidding book were very constructive and adaptable, so he plagiarized a few of the points. Grandfather found out about the plagiarism in the end and pointed it out to Ryan’s grandfather. Knowing that he had made a mistake, Ryan’s grandfather chose to disqualify himself.

“Whitman Corporation outstood everyone in the end and successfully got the project. After Riverdawn Corporation’s defeat, Ryan’s grandfather fell into depression. It was most likely because he wanted to maintain the image his family had for him, or perhaps he was angry at that time so he decided to tell his family that Grandfather was the one who plagiarized him instead. The Jones family believed it, so they all thought that Grandfather was the one who indirectly caused their grandfather’s death half a year later. That was how the two families’ hatred began.”

Jeremy’s tone was solemn as he spoke of everything that happened back then.

“The Jones family had no idea that their old master wrote a letter to Grandfather before he passed.”

Jeremy looked at the contents in his phone as he spoke.

The letter relayed Old Master Jones’ apology to Old Master Whitman as well as the truth of the entire incident.

He also spoke about how he had told such a ridiculous lie because he wanted to protect the reputation he had in his children and grandchildren’s eyes.

He had slandered his friend and in return suffered in remorse until he ultimately died in despair.

Jeremy, Madeline, nor the Whitman family had ever thought to publicize the contents of the letter, yet here it was, available for the world to see.

Now that the Jones family were no longer seen as the victims, many netizens began to comment and scold them as well as the late Old Master Jones after the letter started trending.

Madeline and Jeremy got up and went to eat a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, Madeline heard the adjacent table also talking about the trending topic. She could not help but feel frustrated.

“Should we go back, Jeremy?”

Jeremy lifted his beautiful peach blossom eyes. “What for?”

“Shouldn’t we do something about this?”

“I’ve already told someone to delete as much as they can and try to out-trend it with something else. I’ve done all I can, so let’s just leave the Jones family to worry about the rest,” Jeremy replied frankly and tried to console Madeline.

“We aren’t guilty of anything, Linnie. We can’t change how others want to think either. All we can do is our own part.”

With that, Madeline’s emotions calmed greatly.

He was right.

The Whitman family had done most of what they could. Jeremy even went the extra mile to help as well. They had done enough.

“I brought you here so you could be happy and relax, Linnie. Stop worrying about those kinds of things already, hmm?” Jeremy scratched the tip of her delicate nose gently.

Madeline wrapped her arms around the man’s arm as a sweet smile that showed her dimples graced her lips. She asked coquettishly, “Well then, husband of mine, where are you bringing me today?”

Jeremy raised his sharp brows and quirked his seductive thin lips as he replied playfully, “How could I not have everything prepared if I’m going to bring my wife out?”

“Is that so?” Madeline looked curious, her eyes brimming with expectations.

The man smiled mysteriously and intertwined his fingers with Madeline’s.

“I’ve wasted too much time when I should’ve been cherishing you, Linnie. So let me try to make up for those happy times.”

“Hmm?”

‘How are you planning to make up for lost time?’

Madeline was curious and more hopeful about where Jeremy was about to bring her.

Before they left, Jeremy brought Madeline back to their room to change into another set of clothes.

Madeline never expected Jeremy to buy such an outfit for her. It was a white short-sleeved button-up and a dark blue plaid dress.

She turned to look at the man who was donned in an ironed white shirt and a navy blue tie with pants that were in the same midnight blue.

Looking at their outfits, Madeline felt that she had been brought back to when they were still students.

She remembered how she resembled a clumsy doe, knocking right into his chest.

She had flushed as she apologized while he gently placated her and told her it was fine.

It had been years ago, yet it felt like it was just yesterday.

Jeremy dragged Madeline to a university nearby where he had already contacted the professor there. He entered one of the lecture halls naturally. He walked toward the window seat by the last row and sat down with Madeline by his side.

No one suspected that they were not students as the two looked so youthful that their true age was impossible to guess.

Madeline sat by the window where the bright sun splashed on her face. Her flawless cheeks glowed with a youthful tint.

Jeremy sized Madeline up. The sweetness and quiet of the moment seemed to have freed the heart-wrenching remorse he kept locked away.

‘If I could’ve let go of my memory of you when we were children, Linnie, then perhaps I wouldn’t have let you go when we met again.

‘Yet it’s still you. Be it when you were young or when you grew up, I couldn’t help but fall for you in the end.

‘Thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving me another chance to start over.’

Jeremy thought to himself as he quietly reached his hand under the table.

In order to gain extra knowledge, Madeline was listening intently to the professor when she felt the touch of a familiar palm. Her heart skipped a beat as her face immediately flushed red.

She turned to look at the man beside her to see him staring gently at her. Madeline felt her face growing hotter and her heart racing faster.

Despite already being in love with the man for quite some time, she was dazed as if she had been turned into a lovesick young lady.

She looked up to see the professor teaching the subject passionately. Madeline could not help but play along with the man next to her, allowing him to hook his fingers with hers. Their fingers were intertwined until the bell that signified the end of class rang.

Madeline could not imagine how it would be if she and Jeremy had gotten the chance to relive their school days. If the past could be rewritten, she wondered if he would turn into the bossy handsome kid who would surround her every day during and after classes, preventing other boys from coming close to her.

Most likely.

Madeline smiled sweetly. From how bossy he was on the beach yesterday, she would not be surprised if he did anything he could to make her his.

Strolling by the campus where even the atmosphere was filled with youthfulness, Madeline found her mood greatly lifted.

The gloom and worry from moments ago seemed to have been swept away. All she wanted to do now was spend some quiet time with this man.

Jeremy and Madeline spent the entire morning in the university. He even brought her to the canteen for lunch during lunchtime.

There were many couples in the university, but it was the first time the students saw such a pretty and loving pair.

“When did our school have such handsome and pretty students?”

“I’ve never seen them before. They don’t seem like our students.”

“Why would they be wearing our uniform if they’re not our students, then? Are you stupid?”
