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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 491

Madeline never expected to see the day when Jeremy would kneel for her.

It would be a lie to deny that she was shocked, but as shocked as she was, it would be more fitting to claim that she found the situation absurd.

The man before her was one of noble status and his name was known throughout the entirety of Glendale. It was a given that anyone who crossed paths with him would treat him with respect, while some went the extra mile to get on his good side.

It was hard to imagine such a man kneeling in front of her, in front of the woman he had once cast away.

Madeline lowered her aloof gaze to stare at Jeremy’s handsome face, his knitted brows radiating the sorrow he felt.

“Who would have thought that the young master of the greatest family would kneel for the woman he had once tossed away? Don’t you find it hilarious, Mister Whitman?”

Jeremy took Madeline’s mockery in stride. “I would do anything for your happiness.”

“Hah.” Madeline scoffed. “You’ll make me very happy if you stop appearing in front of me.”

Jeremy’s eyes dimmed, feeling his heart ache in cold and pain as Madeline’s frosty gaze pierced into his chest.

All he could do was hold Madeline’s hand as he greedily took the warmth her hand provided.

“Madeline.”

“Don’t call me Madeline when the moment I became Madeline Crawford was the beginning of the tragic turn my life took.”

Madeline interrupted Jeremy coldly as she tried to pull her hand away, only for the latter to tighten his grip.

“Let me go, Jeremy. I don’t want our lives to be intertwined anymore. Don’t you have an idea how much I dislike and how much I hate you already?!”

Jeremy felt his body grow cold at her determined and annoyed tone.

She said she disliked and hated him.

Hate.

Jeremy silently pushed the heartache away for later as his Adam’s apple bobbed with the suppressed grief.

It took a while before he finally lifted his hurt-filled eyes, allowing his deep and dark irises to fall on the other’s beautiful features. Her features dripped with heavy fury.

“Eveline,” Jeremy called her by a different name. “You’re right, I’m blind and I’m a fool. I should never have allowed such a heinous woman to harm my wife and my child. I’ve done too much wrong to possibly hope that you could forgive me, but there’s something that you have to know.”

“It’s too late now. I don’t want to listen to you, nor will I believe anything you say anymore.” Madeline savored the serious and adamant look on the man before suddenly flinging his arm off as hard as she could. “I don’t love you anymore, Jeremy. Leave your shallow displays of affection for another woman. I don’t need it from you!”

Then, Madeline turned and left coolly.

Dazed, Jeremy kneeled in place as he felt his heart break. Frost swarmed in through the cracks, freezing him from the inside.

He swallowed soundlessly as his deep eyes reddened.

He scrambled to run just as he heard Madeline open the door to leave. “Eveline!”

Madeline was at the door when Jeremy hugged her again.

Pissed, she tried to push him away, but her strength was no match for his.

The cool scent of the man attacked her nose, and for a moment, she felt her heart quicken inexplicably.

“What do you want from me, Jeremy?”

“Don’t leave me, please. Don’t leave me again…” he murmured frantically by her ear.

“I don’t want you to vanish from my world again, Linnie. I won’t survive it a second time…”

“Leave your honeyed words for the woman in prison!”

“No.”

Jeremy rejected stubbornly and tightened his hold.

“I know you won’t believe me, but I’ve never said this to anyone else. I mean it, Eveline. I love you, ever since the beginning. You were the only one for me.”

For what was supposed to be the most touching phrase in the world, ‘I love you’ now sounded like the biggest joke as it drifted to Madeline’s ears.

“Haha…” Madeline scoffed. “You remind me of a saying, Jeremy.”

Confused, the man’s grip around her slacked.

The two pairs of eyes locked under the dark of the night. Madeline’s gaze was cold as she parted her pink lips to speak, “The deaf heard the mute say that the blind saw love.”

“…” Jeremy’s reddened eyes widened when he heard Madeline.

“Perhaps it’s because you’ve never meant the words that you say, Jeremy, which is why you see your promises as pranks and your professes of love as jokes. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten them.”

She paused for a moment, the mockery in her eyes thickening.

“You were the one who told me that Meredith has an irreplaceable spot in your heart, that the moment your eyes fell on her, you knew that she’s the only girl you’ll ever love and protect your entire life.”

Repeating Jeremy’s words to him, the contempt in Madeline’s smile grew.

“You were the one who said Meredith is your one and only, yet now you’re telling me it’s been me all along? Hmph. If this is what your love looks like, Jeremy, then I don’t want it.”

With that, she turned around decisively and left before Jeremy had the chance to stop her.

Jeremy broke into a self-deprecating smirk as he stared blankly at Madeline’s retreating figure.

There was nothing he could say about the happenings of the past.

How was he supposed to explain to Madeline that he only allowed Meredith to do as she wished as an extension of the love and care he had for Madeline when they were children?

Snow began to flutter from the night sky.

The snow was silent, yet Jeremy heard something shatter within him…

He had no idea how he endured the night.

Wide awake, he spent the night sitting by Jackson’s bed.

Remorse and guilt filled him as he stared at the familiar brows and eyes on the small face.

His heart felt like it had been stabbed as he thought of how difficult Madeline must have had it when she was pregnant with Jackson.

The day finally brightened and Jeremy heard activity from downstairs.

His heart raced, knowing that Madeline had returned.

Walking downstairs, he found Madeline bustling in the kitchen just as he had imagined.

Jeremy felt his gloom lift considerably, but he did not dare disrupt her for she was most likely here for Jackson.

Not wanting to give Madeline more reason to be angry at him, Jeremy waited for Jackson to wake before helping the boy wash up and change. Then, he took him downstairs.

Seeing the father-son duo appear hand-in-hand, Madeline ignored Jeremy to smile at Jackson.

“I made you breakfast, Jack. Would you like me to send you to kindergarten after breakfast?”

Jackson responded with a hopeful smile, “Can I have both Mommy and Daddy send me to school?”

“Of course,” Jeremy replied, sighing a breath of relief at Madeline’s lack of protest.

When breakfast was over, Jeremy then drove the three of them to the kindergarten.

Reaching the kindergarten, Jackson tugged on a young female teacher and pointed a finger at Madeline and Jeremy. “Look, Ms. Laurens, that’s my mom and dad! My mom’s a beauty!”

His classmates exclaimed innocently as their gazes landed on Madeline, “Jackson’s mom is so pretty.”

“His Daddy is so handsome too.”

A proud smile graced Jackson’s boyish features at their praises.

It was a smile that comforted Madeline.

Her child would no longer be as gloomy as he used to be.

Madeline turned to leave after she watched the child enter only to have Jeremy follow behind. “Where are you going, Eveline? I’ll send you.”

A car stopped in front of Madeline just as his words fell.

Alighting the car was Felipe who merely spared Jeremy a faint glance before he turned around to open the passenger seat door for Madeline.

Realizing Madeline was about to leave with Felipe, Jeremy stepped forward to loop his arm around her slender waist decisively. He then pulled her toward himself. “Please leave, my wife will not sit in your car.”

Madeline was taken by surprise when she found herself being held tightly in Jeremy’s arms. She had not the chance to avoid him.

A smudge of anger tinted Felipe’s gentle features. “Let go, Jeremy. Stop bothering her. Vera’s my fianceé.”

“You’re very well aware who exactly I’m holding in my arms, Felipe, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Madeline and I are still legally married. Don’t become a homewrecker.”

Felipe’s expression darkened.

Jeremy tugged lightly on Madeline’s waist with a faint smile. “Let’s go, darling.”

“…”

Madeline had half the mind to struggle only to realize that several parents were watching her and Jeremy.

Remembering how happy and proud Jackson was as he introduced her and Jeremy moments ago, Madeline relented.

Sparing Felipe and his cold eyes a glance, Madeline followed Jeremy into his car.

It was only after they had left the kindergarten perimeters that Madeline requested Jeremy to stop his car.

He listened and stopped by the roadside.

Madeline gave him a cold look. “I would never have gotten in your car had it not been for Jack, Jeremy. Stop bothering me, please. I’m not your wife anymore.”

Jeremy’s grip tightened around the steering wheel.

He turned around when he heard Madeline push open the car door. “You are. You still are the wife of Jeremy Whitman.”

Madeline turned back with a scoff. “Did you forget how you forced me to sign the divorce papers three years ago? I said no, but you held my hand and forced me to sign just so you could marry Meredith Crawford, that evil woman. How could you still call me your wife?”

Jeremy’s brows furrowed slightly when he remembered how heartless he had been.

His gaze was remorseful when he looked at Madeline.

Yet, Madeline saw a tint of relief in Jeremy’s eyes.
