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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 481

After Jeremy finished saying that, the crowd drew a sharp, astonished breath.

Back then during the press conference of Montgomery Enterprise, they finally knew that Madeline was the true Miss Montgomery. They were also shocked at first, but they were more surprised by what Jeremy had said now.

Who did not know that the young master of the richest family in Glendale was in love with Meredith Crawford? Why did it suddenly become Madeline Crawford now?

Madeline should be the woman he despised the most.

“Mr. Whitman, you mean that you’ve always been in love with your ex-wife, Madeline Crawford, and not Meredith Crawford?” a journalist broke the silence and questioned.

“You got half of it right,” Jeremy replied. He stared at Madeline with tenderness in his eyes. “I don’t have an ex-wife because this whole time, I’ve only had one wife.”

The journalists were stumped for words. “But Mr. Whitman, you divorced Madeline Crawford three years ago…”

“There were indeed some contradictions and unhappiness between us, but I can tell you with certainty that she’s still my legally wedded wife.”

“…”

“…”

The journalists looked at each other, evidently confused by Jeremy’s answer.

Madeline was calm and unperturbed. However, at this moment, she was slightly moved.

She saw the confidence in Jeremy’s eyes and her heart started beating faster all of a sudden.

‘What did he say?

‘Did he just say that I’m still his legally wedded wife?’

Back then, he was the one who had forced her to sign the papers. How could she still be his legally wedded wife?

The strange atmosphere continued for a while. The journalist from just now asked cautiously, “Mr. Whitman, even if that’s the case, we hope that you can restrain your grief because Madeline Crawford passed away three years ago. I’m afraid—”

“I think you’ve made a mistake.” Jeremy interrupted the journalist. “My wife’s alive and well.”

What?

The crowd was all taken aback. Then, they saw Jeremy walking away.

The journalists and onlookers around him tactfully made way for him.

They looked over to where Jeremy was looking and they saw Madeline standing in a distance.

Her figure was tall and slender while her face was graceful and gorgeous. If one remembered it correctly, this was how Madeline used to look.

However, she did not look as casual and simple like she did before. Not only did she look classier now, but she also had the air of a monarch around her.

The journalists knew that face too. Was she not the founder and designer of Miss L.ady, Vera Quinn?

Was Vera Quinn Madeline Crawford?

This conclusion appeared in everyone’s brains immediately.

After Madeline sensed something was wrong, it was too late for her to run away as Jeremy had already approached her.

His gaze was gentle while his tone was as soft as the spring breeze. “Maddie, I was wrong. I wronged you and made you suffer so much. I know it’s difficult for me to get your forgiveness, but I hope that you’ll still give me another chance to love you.”

The journalists swarmed toward her after they heard what Jeremy said. “Miss Vera, are you really Madeline Crawford?”

“I heard you passed away after you were diagnosed with a fatal illness. How did you come back safe and sound?”

“Meredith Crawford stole your identity and took everything that was supposed to be yours. What do you think of this?”

“Did you not divorce Mr. Whitman? If so, will you forgive Mr. Whitman?”

Madeline felt that the sudden wave of questions was too noisy.

Under the impatient gazes of everyone, she looked into Jeremy’s expectant eyes while remaining calm and undaunted.

“Your words were so touching, Mr. Whitman. However, it’s too bad that I’m not Madeline Crawford.” She denied it. Then, she chuckled sarcastically. “Even if I was Madeline, I wouldn’t forgive you nor give you another chance.”

The hope in Jeremy’s eyes was crushed. His heart also plummeted heavily.

Actually, it was not surprising for him to get this answer. However, when he heard her denying it, the words felt like a knife was slicing his heart.

Felipe rushed to the scene immediately after he saw the live broadcast online.

He pushed the crowd away and walked next to Madeline, his gentle and refined face filled with anger.

He grabbed Madeline’s hand in front of everyone. His gaze was overbearing and possessive as he looked at Jeremy.

“Jeremy, don’t force your hypocritical apology and love on Vera. She’s not your ex-wife Madeline Crawford who you used to abandon and tarnish. She’s my fiancée, Vera Quinn.”

Felipe sounded like he was warning Jeremy.

On the other hand, this was the first time Madeline saw such obvious rage and aggression on Felipe’s face.

“On behalf of our relationship, I can let you off the hook this time. Please have some self-respect.”

After Felipe said that, he held Madeline’s hand and walked away.

Madeline did not look at Jeremy before she left with Felipe. However, the moment she started walking, she felt another familiar hand holding her.

She stopped walking immediately, causing Felipe to stop as well. Felipe frowned in agitation when he saw Jeremy holding Madeline’s hand.

“Let go of Vera.”

Jeremy ignored Felipe and walked in front of Madeline.

Looking at her icy gaze, Jeremy leaned down and got closer to her ear before he started talking.

He said something in Madeline’s ear, but no one else heard it. However, they saw Madeline’s eyes lighting up instantly.

Then, the onlookers and Felipe heard Jeremy saying four words. “I’ll wait for you.”

It was apparent that he was saying those words to Madeline.

Then, Jeremy turned around. Unexpectedly, Madeline also let go of her hand that was holding Felipe’s.

Felipe’s expression changed. “Vera?”

Madeline’s eyes were filled with apology and anxiety. “I’m sorry, Felipe. I need to leave. Something urgent came up. I’ll talk to you soon.”

Felipe did not have the chance to stop her before Madeline walked away hurriedly.

Judging from the direction she left in, it was obvious that she was chasing after Jeremy.

All of the onlookers were clear about this.

This also made them more suspicious about whether Vera Quinn was the wife who Jeremy had abandoned back then, Madeline Crawford.

After Jeremy got into the car, he saw Madeline chasing after him from the rearview mirror.

He was a little happy, but at the same time, he felt pathetic.

At this time, he could only use this method to get her to spend some time with him.

At the end of the day, he was the one who did this to himself.

While he was stuck in a daze, Madeline had already climbed into the passenger seat after opening the door.

“Jeremy, stop beating around the bush with me. Take me to my child now.” Madeline ordered straight away.

Jeremy looked at Madeline’s stunning side profile with a smile on his face. “I promised that I’ll bring the child to you today, so I’ll definitely do it.”

Madeline chuckled after she heard that. “More than ten years ago, someone promised to protect me and take care of me forever, but what happened in the end?”

She mocked with a cold look on her face as she said, “Jeremy, stop wasting time. Unless you let me see my child, I won’t believe anything you say.”

“Alright, I’ll take you to see our child now.”

Jeremy started the car instantly.

After Madeline heard his words, an expectant smile appeared on her cold face.

Through the mirror, Jeremy could see that Madeline was holding her hands tightly. There were endless emotions in her eyes along with a hint of nervousness.

Jeremy curled the corners of his lips when he saw the look of genuine happiness on Madeline’s face.

He was finally seeing a smile on his face.

However, after driving on the busy roads, the car ended up in a place where Madeline was familiar with.

She was puzzled as she reminisced about the scenery outside the window.

‘Has my child been living in April Hill this entire time?

‘Then who’s taking care of my child?’

The car came to a stop slowly as she was thinking about these questions.

Madeline did not wait for Jeremy to open the door for her and got out hurriedly.

Everything in front was not foreign to her. They were at the beach of April Hill.

It was the depths of winter and the sea breeze was bone-chillingly cold.

No one would come to the beach during this season. Even the villagers nearby would rarely come to the beach.
