Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 15

His sudden intimate gesture caused Madeline’s heart to beat faster. Her face also began to heat up gradually.

She lifted her head to look at Jeremy. His side profile was good looking, but his face was neutral. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Grandpa is here.”

He said those three words coldly and Madeline understood immediately.

He merely wanted to put on the act of a loving couple in front of Old Master Whitman.

Madeline's heart became cold. and she felt that this was very ironic.

There were no outsiders at the dining table. If there was one. it was Meredith.

Old Master Whitman’s eyes were kind. However. for some reason. Madeline felt that he looked familiar. It was as if she had seen him from years ago.

What surprised Madeline was how Jeremy ignored Meredith's feelings and took care of her just to make the old master happy.

Not only did he take food for her, but he even peeled prawns for her. This was the first time

Madeline saw Jeremy's gentle smile on a very rare occasion.

Madeline lifted her head to look at Meredith. She forced herself to smile, but it was obvious she was not happy.

It felt just like a dream. However. she knew that the dream would be over soon.

After dinner. Jeremy held Madeline’s hand to walk to the garage. His warmth reached the bottom of her heart, and her face heated up. She wanted very badly to stay in this moment forever...

Nevertheless. reality was cruel.

When they got to the side of the car, Jeremy swung away Madeline’s hand in disgust.

“Get lost.”

His sudden horrible attitude caused Madeline to be in a state of shock.

She watched as Jeremy opened the door considerately for Meredith who came after them.

Subsequently, he watched as she got into the car before revving the vehicle and disappearing in front of Madeline.

Consequently. Madeline was abandoned on the empty street. The autumn wind blew on her face. and coldness took over her heart. Moreover, the wind blew away the fake act of warmth and affection.

That night, Jeremy did not come home as usual.

While thinking about how the man she loved was holding another woman, doing something intimate, Madeline searched for all kinds of information online about her illness. Her heart was in excruciating pain.

The position of her tumor was bad. There would be huge risks in the surgery. Even if they aborted the child to save her. something bad might happen to her as well.

If that was the case, she was willing to risk it and give birth to the only child that she and

Jeremy had.

The next day. Madeline woke up early and went for another body check in the hospital. After she got the results, she submitted to her fate.

Looking at the results, Madeline started to tear up.

‘Oh Jeremy. I thought I'd at least be able to pester you for a lifetime despite you hating me and resenting me. However, I never expected my life to be so short...”

She was walking on the street in a dazed state when she received a text from a stranger.

When she opened it, she saw a video.

It was the video of her being accused of stealing the bracelet.

Coincidentally, it had captured the exact moment when Meredith secretly put the bracelet in her pocket.

Madeline did not know who was the one who sent the video. but she thanked them immediately.

She did not overthink things and called a car to go to Jeremy's office.

Even if she did not have much time to live, she did not want to allow that vile and cruel woman to continue fooling Jeremy.

She arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. When she told the receptionist who she was, the person looked at her with wonder in their eyes.

When Madeline walked to the lift. she could hear a lot of discussions going on about her behind her back. She opened Twitter and saw that the incident the night prior was trending.

The comments were all scolding her and calling her light-fingered. In addition to that, they also said that an ugly duckling like her would always be an ugly duckling. Even after marrying an excellent man like

Jeremy, she would still be cheap.

Madeline grabbed her phone and ran to Jeremy's office. He had just finished a meeting when he spotted Madeline running over. His eyes were cold. “Why are you here? Don’t you know how popular you are now?”

He was talking about what had happened the night before.

Madeline opened the video that had anonymously been sent to her and handed it over to him.

“Look closely. Look at who's the real thief.”
