Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1009 – Madeline asked curiously,
only to find a bitter smile on his gentle features.
“Do you know how I became an amateur artist?” Ryan asked.
Madeline shook her head and smiled. “Do tell.”
Ryan turned to look at Madeline. “You made me who I am today.”
“Me?” Madeline was confused as Ryan began to tell her what happened years ago.
Back then, Madeline had just graduated high school. It was the summer break before university started.
Madeline had found a part-time job at a dessert shop, and when she walked out one day, she found an art stall by
the road.
At that point in time, Madeline had not begun to pursue jewelry designing just yet, but art was something that

As such, she picked one up to take a look.
Just then, a boy came over to ask calmly, “Do you want it?”
She was shocked, but the boy continued before she could reply, “Just pay however much you think it’s worth.”
“…” Madeline was still an innocent lady, too embarrassed to place the art down after picking it up. As such, she
rummaged through her pocket only to find a one-dollar coin. She could have paid using her phone, but that money
was only enough for her school fees.
She placed the coin down, saying, “I’m sorry. I only have this coin on me now.”
She then encouraged him. “There’s a unique feel to your art style. Keep going, I’m sure you’ll improve and achieve
breakthroughs beyond your imagination.”
Madeline then left with the piece of art, leaving the boy to pick up the coin she gave him with a smile.
At that, Madeline finally understood what Ryan meant when he asked if she still remembered the coin.
She forgot about this encounter long ago and may not have remembered it at all had Ryan not reminded her.
However, it only made Madeline more confused. “The Jones family is one of Glendale’s four major rich families.
Why would a young master like you be selling his paintings by the street?”
“I loved art and wanted to pursue it overseas, but my parents wanted me to take over the family business. We had
a big fight that day.
“In a rage, my father called my art unorthodox and claimed that no one would buy it. He said that as long as I sold
one before four o’clock that evening, then he’d let me study it overseas.
“Ten minutes before the deadline, you appeared.”
Madeline finally understood.
While Madeline still thought that claiming she ‘saved’ him was a bit much, Ryan believed it just right.
“Your coin meant the world to me, Miss Montgomery. It’s thanks to it that I managed to make my dream come true.
Had I not left the country to pursue art, I might have regretted it for the rest of my life. A person’s dream is
priceless, after all.”
His gaze grew serious, but he quickly broke into a smile. “While my profession now has completely veered off the
path of art, I’m content with the fact that I got to make that dream of mine come true.”
“What’s your profession now?” Mulling over the thought, Madeline realized she had no idea what Ryan did for a

When Ryan came to her in the beginning, it was merely to design a wedding ring and bottles of perfume as door
gifts for the guests who would be attending his and Naomi’s wedding—not for his company.
“What do you do for a living, Mr. Jones?” Curious, Madeline could not help but ask.
Ryan simply gave a mysterious smile. “Perhaps you’ll find out one day.”
Perhaps?
It was as if his profession was a secret one.
Yet, Madeline’s gut told her that Ryan was not a bad person.
He brought her to an art gallery.
Madeline found her spirits slightly lifted.
Entering through the company doors as the only heir to the Montgomery Enterprise, Madeline placed her mind on
work to distract her from her heartache.
