Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 754 – Madeline stared at the
frowning man confusedly. “It plagued me back then whether you were truly blind to Meredith’s pitiful act. Yet your
actions have been telling me that you knew what she was doing and still you defended her because of how much
you loved her.
“What I never expected was that the reason behind your blind acceptance was a result of the promise you made to
me when we were young.
“It had not occurred to me that you would take a childhood joke so seriously to the point of ignoring what was right
and wrong, all just to keep the vow.”
Madeline found Jeremy staring deeply at her. “It wasn’t a joke. I promised you something, Linnie, and I’ll do
everything I can to fulfill it, but that doesn’t change the fact that I was blinded.”
Just then, Felicity walked out of the manor and was sent home in a private car.
Jeremy and Madeline recollected their feelings and followed behind. However, due to Jeremy’s unfamiliarity with F
Country’s roads, they lost sight of the private car once they made it out to the bigger roads.
Thinking about their next course of action, Madeline was shocked to see Ava on the streets outside the windows.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAva was in F Country.
It was only when Madeline alighted the car to greet her that she came to know that Ava had come to F Country for
business.
Ava was shocked to see Madeline as well. Upon realizing that Madeline had come with Jeremy, displeasure surfaced
on her expression.
Recognizing the distaste for him in Ava’s expression, Jeremy left mindfully.
Madeline and Ava were left to chat in a dessert shop by the streets.
Ava was in disbelief as Madeline retold the latest events.
“How could that be? Felipe has always held himself with the poise of a gentleman. How could he possibly have
someone do that to Lillian just so he can cause a rift between you and Jeremy…”
The truth was too harsh for Ava to continue, so she changed the subject.
“So that’s why you and Jeremy are here? To find out the truth?”
“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “I have to get justice for my daughter.”
Ava let out a sigh of relief. “That’s great, then. Here I thought that you’ve fallen for Jeremy’s lies in a moment of
weakness and followed him off again. Now that you’ve gotten your memories back, Maddie, I’m sure you
remember how he treated you back then. Whatever you do, don’t go back to him. Don’t give the b*stard another
chance to hurt you!”
Madeline thought quietly to herself for a moment before she ultimately broke into a carefree smile. “I know you’re
worried about me, Ava, but…”
“No buts, Maddie. You can’t possibly have fallen for that man again, can you? Or are you telling me that you’ve
never let him go at all ever since the beginning?” Ava interrupted, her expression stern.
Madeline was startled. “I don’t know how I’m supposed to answer your question, but I know for sure that I don’t
hate him anymore.
“I’ve told him time and time again these few years that I don’t want to owe him anything or that I don’t want to see
him again, yet something just has to happen every time I make such a statement. We then end up even more
intertwined than we were before. Take now for an example.
“I found myself terrified for G*d knows what reason that he would disappear from the world the past two times he
almost got into an accident. I must be mad, Ava, because how could someone who has hurt me so much still
matter such a great deal to me?”
Feeling lost, Madeline asked Ava. In front of her dearest friend, she found herself letting go of the sharp edge she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad in front of other people and opened up.
Honestly, she felt it herself as well that she had never let go of her feelings for Jeremy. She was merely unable to
forgive him back then.
Ava frowned. She was about to persuade Madeline to keep her distance from Jeremy when her leader called to
have her deal with an imminent issue. Ava had no other option but to leave.
Madeline sat dazedly for a while before she stood and got ready to leave. Turning around, she was met with Jeremy
standing right in front of her.
She was surprised as she had no idea when the man arrived.
The blissful smile in Jeremy’s eyes told Madeline of the possibility that Jeremy had sat in an adjacent seat and
managed to hear her conversation with Ava.
Setting his eyes on Madeline’s blank look, Jeremy smiled and opened his arms to pull her into a hug as he spoke
softly by her ear, “I love you too, Linnie. You matter to me too, so much.”
‘Too.’
He had heard them.
Madeline let Jeremy have his fill with the hug before calmly pushing him away.
She could not deny nor did she want to admit anything, for it seemed like meeting Jeremy was no longer a
conscious choice she could make. She needed a clear path, so she spoke seriously, “Didn’t you say you wanted to
place a bet with me, Jeremy? How about we bet now?”
Slightly stunned, Jeremy stared deeply at Madeline. “What are we betting?”
