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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 221

Just as an accident was about to occur, Jeremy reached out and grabbed Madeline’s wrist, pulling her into his arms with all his might.

The car that ran the yellow light whizzed past Madeline’s side.

As Jeremy had been too forceful, he lost his balance and fell backward. The person in his arms fell to the ground with him, leading to a heavy crash.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s alright now.”

Madeline vaguely heard Jeremy said.

She wanted to get up but was enveloped tightly in Jeremy’s embrace. His right hand was pressed on the back of her head as though it was a subconscious act of protecting her.

Madeline just lay on Jeremy’s body. Her nose picked up the unique fragrance on his body. It was a familiar scent in her memory.

She felt her heartbeat and breathing going a little erratic. She did not know if it was the shock from almost being hit by a car just now.

When a breeze blew over, Madeline recovered her heartbeat and breathing. “Mr. Whitman, you can let me go now.”

Upon hearing her voice, Jeremy seemed to return to his senses.

He slowly loosened his clasped hands and recalled how he had called her ‘Madeline’ just now.

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman.” Madeline stood up and thanked him.

Jeremy also stood up. Looking at the unscathed lady in front of him, he was inexplicably relieved.

Madeline wanted to find a reason to leave as soon as possible, but then she saw Jeremy’s palm bleeding.

Fresh blood had oozed out once again from the place where she bandaged him last night.

Madeline took out the disinfectant wipes from her bag. She held Jeremy’s palm and casually treated his wound. Then, she wrapped it gently with a handkerchief.

Jeremy stayed still, watching Madeline carefully treat his injury.

He looked at her delicate eyebrows that looked serious. Her eyelashes fluttered gently, like small feathers falling on his heart, leaving invisible scratches after.

Jeremy felt his own heart skipping a beat for no reason.

“Thank you for before, Mr. Whitman. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.” Madeline let go of his hand and turned around after speaking.

“I’ll fetch you there.”

“No need.” Madeline stopped and glanced at him. “I really don’t want to be treated as a dead person anymore.”

After her voice fell, Madeline got into a taxi on the side of the road.

Jeremy stayed in place. After seeing the car disappear from his sight, he then slowly lowered his gaze and looked at his wounded palm that was wrapped in a handkerchief.

Jeremy went back to the car when he received a call from Meredith.

Looking at the name displayed on the screen, Jeremy’s brows furrowed. After pondering for a moment, he at last swiped the answer button.

Meredith’s somewhat excited and somewhat aggrieved voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

“Jeremy, are you finally willing to answer my calls?

“Jeremy, I know you must still be suspecting me for being involved in Jack’s kidnapping back then. I don’t blame you for misunderstanding me.

“Jeremy, can we meet? I have something to tell you.”

Meredith said many things as if she was talking to herself. She could not wait for his response and became more anxious on the inside.

“Jeremy, I really haven’t done anything that’s against my conscience. Moreover, Jack is our biological son. How could I—” Meredith said pitifully, but before she finished speaking, Jeremy’s low voice was heard.

“I’m not free today. Call your parents and go to Whitman Manor tomorrow night. All of you. After everyone arrives, I have something to announce.”

Meredith initially thought that Jeremy would not care about her, but who would have thought that she would get such a reply from him.

“With my parents together, right?” she asked with uncertainty, her heart beating happily.

For her parents to be there, it had to be an announcement of their marriage!

“Yes,” Jeremy responded.

Meredith agreed impatiently. “Don’t worry, Jeremy. I’ll be there on time tomorrow night with my parents.”

“That’s great, then.” Jeremy hung up the phone after saying those last three words.

He looked at the darkened screen, his slender, dewy eyes reflecting a secretive light.

Madeline had gone straight back to the apartment. After entering the house, she saw that Felipe was already up.

He sat at the table by the French windows, wearing loose casual clothes. He was watching the financial news on his phone while elegantly biting on a piece of toast for breakfast.

Seeing that Madeline was back, he gave her a gentle smile. “Miss L.ady’s sales performance is booming. Every piece of jewelry that you’ve designed has become popular. I think you stand a great chance of winning the grand prize for this year’s GMA International Jewelry Design Competition.

“Also, I brought you the fragrance materials you need. You can continue with your dreams and career here with peace of mind.”

Listening to every word Felipe had said, Madeline was grateful. “Thank you, Felipe.”

Felipe smiled faintly. The pair of mysterious eyes showed a gleam of bright light. “What I want is never your thanks.”

His voice was soft and warm like a spring breeze.

Seeing that Madeline was a little lost, Felipe laughed a little. “Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything. As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to be your knight forever.”

Madeline looked at the gentle, smiling face in front of her, and her heart felt warm.

It was this smile that had scattered the haze in her heart.

If it were not for Felipe’s company and encouragement in the past three years, she would not be here today.

The evening of the next day.

Madeline followed Felipe to Whitman Manor. He walked into the villa compound with a gift in one hand and Madeline’s hand in another.

Seeing that it was Felipe, the butler immediately reported to Old Master Whitman.

Old Master Whitman, who was resting in his room, suddenly tightened his loosened nerves.

Felipe had come back to the manor three years ago, but back then, he avoided seeing Old Master Whitman with the excuse of being unwell. Such a thing could not be repeated.

Madeline, on the other hand, really wanted to meet Old Master Whitman. She just did not expect to see Eloise and Meredith sitting on the sofa while chatting happily with Mrs. Whitman when she entered the house. Sean was also speaking with Jeremy’s father on the side.

‘What day… is today? Is everyone here?’

Seeing Madeline and Felipe entering while holding hands, everyone in the room was shocked.

Jeremy, who was coming down from the stairs, saw Madeline and Felipe’s interlocking fingers. He lowered his gaze.

“Aren’t you Jeremy’s uncle, Felipe?” Meredith was suspicious. “Uncle Felipe, why are you with this woman?”

“Miss Crawford, please be careful with your words. Vera is my fiancée.” Felipe seldom got angry and had always been a gentleman, but at this moment, Madeline clearly felt his displeasure.

“What? This woman is your fiancée?” Mrs. Whitman stood up with a whoosh. She sneered, “Felipe, you sure know how to find a wife!”

Felipe curled his lips lightly when he heard those words. “Vera is the best woman I’ve ever met. It’s my greatest honor to marry her and make her my wife.”

“…” Mrs. Whitman had nothing to say momentarily.

It was also the first time Madeline had heard Felipe praise her like this.

She was a little flustered and her cheeks heated up slightly.

She did not think she would happen to meet Jeremy’s deep gaze that was looking at her meaningfully when she looked up.

“Mr. Whitman,” Madeline spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Meredith quickly looked over and saw Jeremy coming. She hurried to his side and cast a mocking look at Madeline. “Jeremy, who would’ve known that the boyfriend that Miss Quinn mentioned before is Uncle Felipe. Don’t you think this is fate? It seems that Miss Quinn and Uncle Felipe are a good match, Jeremy. What do you think?”

Jeremy glanced at Meredith’s smiling face indifferently. With one hand reaching into his pocket, he walked straight toward Madeline.

“Jeremy?” Meredith stared blankly, the smile on her face disappearing instantly.

Jeremy completely ignored Felipe and everyone else, only walking straight to Madeline.

He looked at Madeline, curled his lips, and smiled. The hand in his pants pocket moved as though he wanted to take something out.

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 223

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Jeremy took out a dark blue velvet box from his pants pocket.

He held the box to face Madeline and opened it. Inside the velvet jewelry box was a sparkling diamond ring.

Meredith looked at the ring box that Jeremy was holding in shock. She hurried over. “Jeremy, what… What are you doing?” she asked nervously, trying to maintain a smile. “Jeremy, you asked my parents to come over today. Is it because you want to propose to me? This diamond ring is also for me, yes?”

Meredith looked expectantly at Jeremy’s impassive side profile.

However, Jeremy did not spare a glance at Meredith even from the corner of his peripheral vision. Instead, he took out the ring and reached out to Madeline’s left hand that was being held by Felipe.

Madeline quickly withdrew her hand. “Mr. Whitman, what are you doing?”

Felipe also protected Madeline by his side. “Jeremy, although Vera and Madeline are very similar, but as I’ve told you, they’re two different people.”

“Why are you so nervous about her?” Jeremy suddenly let out a chuckle. His smile was really intriguing, and no one could see through it. “This is just a welcome gift for my future aunt-in-law.”

“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, but a diamond ring is best not to be gifted casually, or your fiancée will be jealous.” Madeline declined with a smile, glancing at Meredith whose smile had been distorted.

“Meredith won’t be jealous!” Mrs. Whitman disdainfully rolled her eyes at Madeline. “Miss Quinn, although you look very much like Jeremy’s hateful ex-wife, don’t ever flatter yourself and think that Jeremy would have any special affection for you!”

She gave a contemptuous smile.

“That Madeline is simply a thorn in the eyes of everyone in our family! Jeremy hated her to the bone! After she died, all of us were much at peace and Jeremy could finally be with his beloved. We’re all happy, so you don’t have to worry about my future daughter-in-law being jealous. Jeremy and Meredith are in a good relationship! Their son is already five years old!”

Upon hearing this, Meredith quickly restored her smile and echoed, “Miss Quinn, did you hear that? Why should I be jealous? This is only but a welcome gift, so you don’t have to make a big fuss over nothing. Mrs. Whitman is right. It doesn’t matter if you look just like Madeline. Jeremy will never be interested in you because he hates Madeline the most!”

“Is that so…” Madeline smiled faintly, but there was sarcasm on the inside.

‘Turns out that my death is exactly what everyone wanted.

‘I didn’t expect you guys to feel even a little sad about my death.

‘But I never thought that you would all be happy for it.’

She was a lawful wife and a daughter-in-law. She had never hurt anyone but had to suffer such cruel treatment.

If it were not for the warmth brought by Felipe’s hand holding hers, Madeline would be having a breakdown.

“Jeremy, I appreciate your kindness on Vera’s behalf, but a diamond ring is more suited to be given by me, her fiancé.” Felipe rejected him on Madeline’s behalf. He then took her hand and walked into the hall.

Meredith glared at Madeline’s back before reaching out to hold Jeremy’s hand. “Jeremy, the style of this ring is very special. I really like it.”
