Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

Chapter 101

Madeline was trembling in the wind and her blood seemed to be frozen.

She returned to her residence hurriedly, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and moved away overnight.

She no longer had the courage to face this man who was more terrifying than the devil. She was not afraid of death, but she was really afraid of the cruel methods he has shown time and time again. She never wanted to see him treat the people she loved cruelly in front of her again. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Madeline touched the faint, tingling scar and closed her eyes.

Jeremy, how could loving you brought such a result…

……

As the new year approaches, many companies would hold annual meetings at this time.

Although Felipe had insisted that Madeline be his plus one to attend the annual meeting, Madeline still refused in the end.

After the dinner party, Madeline went to a karaoke bar with some people from the department.

The room was large and everyone had gathered together to drink and play games but they had left Madeline at the side, not one paying any attention to her.

There was continuous laughter, it was such a lively and joyous moment, but Madeline could not feel the joyous atmosphere at all. All she felt was sadness.

She went to the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Jeremy’s when she was coming back. She did not expect him to be here too.

Madeline was so frightened her heart jumped. She turned around in a panic and ran.

Jeremy turned his head around after the phone call and vaguely saw a familiar figure flash past his eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows and followed.

Madeline ran back to the room in a single breath, but her heartbeat still had not calmed down.

Her colleagues were still playing around happily. Some of them were already drunk, lying haphazardly on the sofa. No one noticed Madeline’s existence.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the seat. As soon as she sat down, she heard the melody of a love song from the speaker.

It was a song she was familiar with, “Evil in Innocence”.

Listening to the melody and watching the lyrics lighting up on the screen, Madeline’s eyes became wet inadvertently.

The lyrics were essentially a portrayal of her journey along the way.

Jeremy had followed all the way and when he reached the door of a certain room, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the inside.

Although he had never seriously cared about Madeline’s voice, his hippocampus told him that this was Madeline’s voice.

Jeremy looked in through the round window on the door and saw Madeline sitting on the bar chair. Her figure was extremely thin and her short, simple hair could not cover up her haggard face.

In spite of this, the outline of her profile was still beautiful. Under the dim light, he saw tears falling from her eyes, and lyrics were suddenly sung out, “You would know, the cruelest things that have been done to me.”

“It was you, who had turned me into an adult overnight.

“Desperate innocence, instantly turning into scars along the way.

“I miss, my stupidity.

“Oh lover, you know too well how to hurt a person, how to hurt a life…”

Madeline’s voice floated into Jeremy’s ears, quietly and cleanly, but he felt as if his heart had suddenly been stabbed.

What Madeline had said to him then appeared in his mind. She had said that she did not love him anymore, and she had said that she hated him.

Jeremy just stood outside the door, listening to Madeline sing, watching her unstopping tears. His heart seemed to be gradually flooded by an invisible sea and his breathing became difficult.

Madeline sang the song and her mind was filled with all the unspeakable pain that she had suffered over the past few years. She sang till the end. “Although heaven and earth are not benevolent, if not necessary, wake your defense, wait a minute……”

By the time she finished the song, Madeline had already burst into tears.

She picked up her bag and left. No one noticed her presence nor her departure.

Madeline called for a cab and returned to her new residence. Just as she had her keys out to open the door, the voice-activated light in the corridor suddenly came on and a nightmarish sound rang in her

ears.

“Madeline, who allowed you to escape from my sight?”
