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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1451

Madeline looked at Ryan’s back that was facing her and turned around decisively. Then, she looked at the endless sea in front of him.

‘Ryan, you’re definitely going to lose this game.’

Ryan knew Madeline was going to hide now. He looked at the ticking time on his watch. He only turned around after the last second of the ten minutes passed.

There was only one house on the island and the structure of the house was simple. He did not think that he would not be able to find Madeline in under half an hour.

However, as time passed, not only could he not find Madeline in the house, but he also looked all over the yacht near the beach and still could not find any traces of Madeline at all.

It was as if she had evaporated from this island and he could not find any traces of her.

How was this possible?

Everything on this island could be seen at one glance. It was a small house with no special hiding places. Where could Madeline be?

Ryan felt that this was unfathomable and there was a look of anxiety on his face.

He did not want to lose. He did not want to let Madeline go just like that.

He looked at the time again and there were only ten minutes before the game ended.

Ryan went back into the house to look all over again while feeling unconvinced. He even looked under the bed but still, there were no traces of Madeline.

He walked out of the house and looked at the vast and limitless sea. His heart felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of the endless sea.

“Eveline, will you seriously win this?”

He asked himself in a low voice. Then, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

“It’s just a month and you still refuse to help a dying man accomplish his last wish. Heh.”

Ryan mocked himself and looked at the time to see that the game was ending. Then, he faced the house in front of him.

“Eveline, you can come out now. I’m admitting defeat. I can’t find you,” he increased his volume and yelled at the house.

More than ten seconds passed and Ryan still did not see Madeline walking out from the house. As such, he took a step forward.

“Eveline, the game has ended. You can come out now.”

Ryan looked at the house and said once more. As he waited for Madeline to come out, he suddenly heard the sound of water from behind him.

He paused as the look in his eyes changed.

He thought about another possibility and turned around in disbelief. Then, he really saw Madeline slowly walking over to him from the beach with her entire body soaking wet.

‘She was hiding in the water?

‘How is that possible?’

Ryan was shocked. He recalled how Madeline almost drowned from retrieving the bag in the river because she did not know how to swim. However, she could hide in the water with ease now?

‘No, impossible!’

Ryan denied strongly in his heart, but he could not deny what he was seeing in front of him.

Madeline pushed her short wet hair away and walked calmly in front of Ryan.

“Ryan, you’re a man of your words. You’ve lost.”

“Were you really hiding in the water this entire time?” Ryan was still refusing to believe such a result.

“Your rules didn’t say that I can’t hide in the water. I didn’t break the rules, right?” Madeline asked calmly.

Ryan’s eyes were filled with the color of admiration. “Eveline, you’re so full of surprises.”

“Then, do you know that the surprise you’re seeing was taught to me by my husband again and again with utmost patience?”

Ryan was stunned when he heard that. Then, he smiled when he suddenly realized it. “So he’s the one who taught you to swim. No wonder.”

“Stop spewing nonsense. You’ve lost. Take me away from here now,” Madeline requested. She did not want to stay another second more in this place.

Ryan looked at the impatient look on Madeline’s face as an ominous smirk appeared on his lips.

“Okay, I’ll take you away from here now,” he said and turned around to walk to the yacht.

Madeline quickly went back to the house to grab a bathrobe to put on her body. Then, she hurriedly followed Ryan onto the yacht.

After a while, Ryan started the yacht.

The weight on Madeline’s chest was slowly lifted. ‘Jeremy, I’ll be back by your side soon.’

She thought internally while missing her three children a lot.

She could not imagine what would happen if the woman who was impersonating her did something out of line to Jeremy and the children.

However, when she thought about it, she still believed that Jeremy would not be fooled so easily and that the woman would not brazenly hurt the children.

If she wanted to impersonate her and replace her, she would need to play the part of a good wife and a loving mother.

When she thought about this, Madeline felt more at ease.

Madeline walked to the deck and faced the sea breeze. The cold wind was permeating her skin.

She wrapped the bathrobe tighter around her body and sneezed involuntarily.

It was the middle of autumn and she had just gotten out of the sea, so Madeline felt a bit cold.

She wanted to go back into the cabin of the yacht when she saw Ryan walking toward her.

Ryan had turned on the autopilot on the yacht. When he saw Madeline’s short hair that was messed up by the wind, he saw a kind of elegant beauty that was birthed from the mess.

“Say, why do you think that God let two people meet when he knows that they’ll never fall in love? Also, why do you think he makes the other party fall in love and experience a one-sided affair?” Ryan asked Madeline this question from out of nowhere.

Madeline had also asked herself this question before.

“If all feelings are to be reciprocated in this world, then there will not be terms like broken-hearted and inconsolable,” Madeline said calmly. Her voice seemed to be amplified by the sea breeze as it fell into Ryan’s heart. It was causing his heart to grow colder and colder.

“Ryan, I don’t love you and I’ve never had any feelings for you. I hope you can understand that you can never force feelings because it’s impossible. That’s why a relationship where the couple can be each other’s sunshine is the most precious.”

Madeline went back to the cabin after she said that. When she walked past Ryan, she heard him sigh.

“Eveline, can I hug you for a while?” he asked, looking so humble. “My life will end in 29 days.”

Madeline stopped in her tracks. “You chose this path, so you can’t blame anyone.”

Ryan curled the corners of his lips into a smile. “You’re right. I did choose this path. I wanted to make more money to further develop the Jones family’s business. However, I realized too late that the power and wealth I obtained illegally would turn into dust eventually. Not only that, I’d have to risk my life for it too.”

He lowered his head, his eyes landing on Madeline’s side profile. “Since I’m going to die, why don’t I just indulge myself, am I right?”

“…”

Madeline sensed that something was amiss when she heard this.

She lifted her head to look at Ryan and saw a smile with hidden meaning on his lips.

Madeline felt that Ryan’s smile was problematic, but she did not probe into what Ryan was thinking about right now. When she was about to walk away, she realized that the yacht was heading in another direction.

Ryan’s direction was here, but the yacht was heading in a completely different direction.

Madeline suddenly understood the meaning behind Ryan’s smile. She turned around abruptly. “Ryan, I think you’re really crazy! You’re the one who wanted to play the game and you lost! I shouldn’t have believed you!”

“I didn’t lose. You’re the one who appeared in front of me within the set time of the game.”

“You’re despicable.” Madeline looked down on him.

Ryan scoffed indifferently. “I just want to spend the last moments of my life with you.”

“Just give up! I’ll never spend romantic time alone with a man who’s not Jeremy!” Madeline smiled in determination. Suddenly, she removed the bathrobe on her body and sped to the deck.

Ryan felt that something was wrong as his expression changed. “Eveline, what are you doing?”

Madeline peered coldly at Ryan who was about to chase up to her. “Freedom.”

She said decisively and suddenly, she reached her long legs over the railing of the deck.

Ryan felt his heart sink. “Eveline!” He reached out his arm to grab her, but Madeline had made up her mind. She did not hesitate before jumping into the vast ocean.

“Eveline!”

Ryan had turned pale from fright. He did not expect Madeline to do this.

However, this was not strange if he really thought about it.

She was always unyielding and tenacious.

Her body quickly sank into the ocean as a layer of white ripples appeared over the area where she jumped down.

Ryan widened his eyes in horror before he saw Madeline’s head bobbing out from the ripples. The worry and terror in his heart were slightly alleviated.

Madeline continued swimming without turning back.

She knew it would be impossible for her to swim back to Glendale. However, she could still swim back to the island and think of another plan. It would be better than being forcefully taken to another unknown place.

“Eveline, why are you so stubborn?” Ryan yelled at Madeline who was swimming back. “I told you I won’t hurt you again. Why are you still refusing to give me some time? You can forgive a man who hurt you until you had nothing left but you won’t give a chance to someone who wants to give you warmth?

“Eveline, you’re so heartless!”

Ryan chuckled lightly. His complaints sounded like they came from an infatuated person who had become obsessed because they could not get the love they craved.
