Chapter 556
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
She looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress. However, he selfishly wished that he was the only one to own that pretty side of her.
Madeline tried to recall why she would end up wearing the wedding gown, but it ended up fruitless.
Jeremy knew that Madelineâs current memory and attitude had gone way back to the time when she was still madly in love with him. He was feeling grateful but was in pain at the same time. He brought her to the bed and sat down. His hand gently laid atop her gorgeous brows as he said, âLinnie, stop thinking about it. You canât recall it because youâve lost your memories.â
âMe? Lost my memories?â Madelineâs eyes grew wide as she was confused.
Jeremy looked at her and nodded, feeling a pinch in his heart. âLinnie, we got married six years ago.
Itâs just that something went wrong with your memories and youâve forgotten many things. They cured the tumor inside you, Meredith and her family have received the punishment they should get and were already judged by the law. As for usâ¦â
He stuttered. The sense of fear that he had never once felt before made him retreat.
He lost the courage to tell her the truth that occurred within these six years. He was sincerely afraid that she might end up hating him and even leaving him.
âJeremy, Jeremy, why arenât you talking? Whatâs wrong with us?â
Jeremy snapped back to reality after hearing Madelineâs pestering. He wore a gentle smile and faced Madeline.
Madelineâs cheeks went pink when she saw his stunning face. Her gorgeous orbs looked down slightly, not wanting to look into his eyes.
Her bashful appearance was just like a young lady who first discovered what true love was.
âLinnie, how about leaving the past in the past? For the days to come, Iâll protect you, take care of you, and weâll be together just fine.â
He hooked his little finger to hers.
âJust like the promise we made back at that time. Weâll always be together forever.â
Madeline gradually raised her teary eyes, meeting Jeremyâs passionate orbs. âJeremy, this all feels like a dream to me.â
âThis is not a dream, silly. Itâs the reality youâre experiencing.â
Jeremyâs eyes looked even more gentle, but he was still feeling a pinch in his heart.
It was just a simple feeling of happiness, yet to her, it was like a dream that was hard to be fulfilled.
That was all because he had given her endless coldness and darkness in the past. Hence, all the warmth that she was feeling currently just seemed unreal to her.
âLinnie.â Jeremy held her dearly in his arms.
âIâm sorry, Linnie. Iâve told you a lie, just like them.
âItâs a fact that you used to love me. However, you might come to hate me more than you used to when youâve recovered your memories in the near future.â
The thought of it made Jeremy hug Madeline even tighter, as though he would want to just infuse her into his bones.
Regardless of life and death, he only desired to be with her in his entire life.
Madeline suddenly struggled when Jeremy was still indulging in the hug. She put on an anxious look and stared at him, saying, âJeremy, you said that itâs been six years since then. Then, then whereâs my babyâ¦â
Subconsciously, she touched her tummy with her hands.
âI only remember that not long after I got pregnant, Meredith claimed to be pregnant as wellâ¦â
âDonât worry, Linnie. Our child is doing well. Itâs a boy and his name is Jackson. Iâm the one who named him.â
âJackson,â Madeline muttered the name as her eyes glinted in excitement.
âAlso, let me tell you this, Linnie. Meredith and I have never had an intimate relationship, and I never came to love her. Back when I thought she was you, Iâve never laid a finger on her. Linnie, I only like you. Weâre meant for each other.â
Jeremyâs comment left Madeline shocked and delighted, but more toward the latter.
âJeremy, I want to meet our child as soon as possible. Whereâs he now?â
âHeâs at his grandparentsâ house, your biological parentsâ house.â
âMy biological parents?â Madeline was still in a daze when Jeremy held her hands. âCome, letâs go get our son.â
He placed his fingers between hers and headed downstairs.
Suddenly, the main door flung open and a silhouette showed up before them.
