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

Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 171

Meredith had just called her a moment ago, and her tone was quite aggressive. How did she sound even remotely like someone who might do something stupid?

However, she saw that Jeremy’s face was solemn. He seemed to have believed it and was now concerned about Meredith’s safety.

“If Mr. Whitman is busy, I can just get off right now.”

Jeremy looked at Madeline, seemingly hesitating. It took him a while before he stopped the car.

Madeline got down from the car quite briskly, waving to Jeremy after. “Mr. Whitman, see you another time.”

After that, she turned around and left.

Jeremy did not leave immediately and looked at her walking away with his rearview mirror as he replayed the scene earlier in his head.

Why did he so frantically reach out for her? That answer was quite clear in his heart.

It was only until Madeline heard the car moving did she stop to look back.

She immediately hailed a taxi to tail after Jeremy’s car. She did not expect that the car would go all the way to April Hill.

This place held one of her happiest memories. It was the place where she met Jeremy for the first time when she was still young.

She wondered why he suddenly came here, but she was even more curious as to why he had held her so tightly as he called her ‘Maddie’ earlier.

Before she could dwell on it, she saw a woman standing next to the shore.

It was Meredith.

Madeline smiled. It turned out that they had met here for the first time as well.

When Meredith saw Jeremy approaching, she started to sob as she looked at him.

“Jeremy, do you still remember the first time we met?” she asked him, but Jeremy looked at her with an expressionless face.

“We were so happy here back then. You said you’d marry me and treat me well for the rest of my life. You said you’d protect me, and I believed it. I’ve been waiting for so many years, thinking that it would finally happen. I never expected that despite all that’s happened between us, we’d still not truly be together.” She wiped away her tears pitifully while walking over to Jeremy.

“Jeremy, have you stopped loving me? Was it Madeline’s slanderous words before she died that affected you? Is that why you don’t want to be together with me or marry me anymore?

“If that’s true, then let’s just let everything end here…”

Meredith turned around and started to walk toward the sea after that.

Jeremy looked at her for a good while before reaching out to pull her wrist.

Meredith happily smiled as she took the chance to fall into his embrace. “Jeremy, I knew that I’m still in your heart. These few years, I didn’t mind even if people called me a homewrecker. I’m content as long as I can be with you!”

Madeline stood on the road in the distance, looking at the two of them hugging with a sneer on her face.

The sea breeze was blowing, bringing a wet and salty taste to her lips.

The sunlight shone brightly, and the tranquil sea looked as if thousands of stars were shining on it.

It was a perfect scene.

However, Madeline felt exceptionally disgusted by it.

She turned around and left, but at this exact moment, Jeremy looked up and saw her.

The sun was very bright, preventing him from seeing clearly, but he got a good look at that face.

Madeline?

He pushed Meredith away who was trying to lean further into his embrace and turned around to chase after the other woman.

Madeline got on a taxi at the side of the road before leaving immediately. As she looked at the signs on the road, the words ‘April Hill’ hurt her eyes.

She suddenly felt that the cleanliness in her heart had been polluted.

How filthy.

When Jeremy finally caught up, he did not see Madeline at all and only saw a car moving along the roads of April Hill in the distance.

His mood sank again, sinking into the sea next to April Hill.

‘She’s gone.

‘She left three years ago.’

He reminded himself again, but he had never accepted that fact in the first place.

“Jeremy, what’s wrong?” Meredith hurriedly ran after him, not understanding Jeremy’s actions or expression.

Jeremy glanced at her, his voice sounding distant. “Get in the car.”

Meredith hurriedly got into the car. Her show had concluded, and she planned on cashing in on it.

“Jeremy, it’s my birthday the day after tomorrow. I’m actually quite content just being by your side, but Jack is growing up. He’s starting to understand a lot of things, and I’m worried that others will call him a b*stard, so… let’s get married.”

Jeremy suddenly lifted his foot off the gas pedal and shot a distant gaze at Meredith’s tearful eyes. “Can you give me an honest answer to my question?”

Meredith was quite shocked by Jeremy’s gaze, but on the surface, she maintained her innocent facade. “Jeremy, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

“Did you know before I did that Madeline was pregnant?”

She did not expect that Jeremy would ask that question. A look of shock flashed across Meredith’s face, but she quickly shook her head.

“Madeline never talked to me about her pregnancy.”

“Is that true?” Jeremy asked meaningfully. After that, he stepped on the gas pedal again. His gaze caused Meredith to feel uneasy.

She clenched her fists in silence, cursing at Vera in her head. That woman was a thorn in her side. If that woman had not suddenly appeared, Meredith was certain that Jeremy would not suddenly suspect her or think about Madeline!

After Jeremy dropped Meredith off at the Montgomery household, he went to the cemetery alone.

As the evening sunlight fell on his back, the summer winds blew past the branches and brushed against his face.

Jeremy slowly walked to the front of a tombstone, bending down as he placed a bouquet of 88 roses in front of it.

Roses represented love, and 88 roses represented remorse.

Alas, remorse was the most useless thing on earth.

What was the point of his belated love?

Looking at the name on the plaque, Jeremy lit a cigarette. As the sun started to set, night soon fell, obscuring his expression.

The next day, Madeline went back to the shop and noticed someone in the VIP room after sending her little girl to school.

Ever since she came back to life and had her eyesight restored, she spent an entire year establishing her own brand—Miss L.ady.

She personally designed every piece of jewelry. Since the designs were unique, they were very well received. Her business boomed because of that, quickly becoming a household name internationally. She received quite a few famous VIP customers thanks to that.

That was why the person who was browsing the limited edition jewelry in the VIP room could be considered as a high-class member.

Madeline was about to greet the person inside and express her gratitude, but she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Her feet suddenly felt like lead as her footsteps became abnormally heavy.

“I definitely want this set. Do you have anything else? How could one set be enough for my daughter’s birthday?” Eloise’s voice was filled with endless love for Meredith.

Madeline thought that with her giving up on Jeremy, her yearning for parental love would be gone as well. She did not expect that her heart would suddenly hurt so much.

Her mother…

No, she was Meredith’s mother.

Madeline laughed at herself mockingly, her mind filled with the scenes of Eloise and Sean slapping her in the face for the sake of protecting Meredith.

She even remembered that last kick from Sean which caused her to spit out blood.

They never looked at her until the end.

Madeline’s grip on the door was extremely tight, and at that moment, Eloise took out her phone to give Meredith a call.

“Mer, you can come out now. I’ll bring you for a spa session later, then we can look for something to wear. It’s your birthday tomorrow, and Jeremy will propose to you as well. I want to make sure you’ll look the prettiest you can be. I’ll turn you into the most dazzling princess in the world. Dear, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”

Princess? Precious daughter?

Ah.

Madeline wanted to laugh hearing all that. She no longer wanted to continue listening.

She turned around, but she did not see that one of her employees was carrying coffee and snacks over.
