Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [Sixteenth Child] Chapter 478
Eloise and Sean had been worried that Madeline would not show up. When they saw virtual-novel.net entering the living room with Jackson, their eyes lit up with joy.
“Eveline! Eveline, you’re really here!” Eloise walked over to Madeline in excitement.
Madeline looked at the bandages on Eloise’s leg subconsciously. When virtual-novel.net saw that Eloise was still limping, virtual-novel.net said flatly, “Mrs. Montgomery, you should sit down and rest in case your wound breaks open. I don’t want to owe you anything.”
When Eloise heard that, virtual-novel.net looked at Madeline sadly. “All mothers would want their children to be safe and healthy. I’ll be happy as long as you’re fine. You don’t owe anything to any of us. We’re the ones who have wronged you.”
Sean nodded on one side. He was looking at Madeline with the same love and pain in his eyes. “Eveline, we’ve wronged you so much. If you don’t want to acknowledge us, then we won’t force you. Your mother and I are happy as long as we get to see you.”
After Madeline listened to that, virtual-novel.net said with no emotions on virtual-novel.net face, “Aren’t we celebrating Jack’s birthday?”
Eloise and Sean were taken aback. Then, they smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, we’re celebrating Jack’s birthday today. However, before the celebration, Jeremy has something to give you,” Eloise said as virtual-novel.net looked at the man who was walking over with a cake.
Madeline knitted virtual-novel.net eyebrows together. “I don’t want anything to do with this person anymore. If you asked me here just to speak well of him, then I’ll leave now.”
“Eveline! Don’t go!” Eloise stopped her. “Eveline, don’t be mad. If you don’t like it, then I won’t mention it anymore.”
When Madeline walked past him, Jeremy grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist.
The warmth from his palm traveled to virtual-novel.net skin, the heat spreading all over virtual-novel.net body.
Madeline lifted virtual-novel.net annoyed gaze at virtual-novel.net slowly. “Let go.”
“Jack wants you to celebrate his birthday with him. As for my present, I trust that you’ll accept it one day.”
“Daddy, Mommy, what are you talking about? What present?” Jackson lifted his head to ask.
Madeline retracted virtual-novel.net hand in silence and recomposed herself. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and smiled warmly at Jackson to change the topic. “Today is your birthday, so of course, it’s a present for you.”
She smiled and carried Jackson to the dining room.
Eloise and Sean looked at each other before sighing. “If Eveline knows that the present you want to give virtual-novel.net is to tell virtual-novel.net that Jack is virtual-novel.net flesh and blood, she’ll be ecstatic. I really didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to be opposed to it so much.”
Jeremy chuckled in self-mockery. “I’ve hurt virtual-novel.net so much, so it’s only understandable that virtual-novel.net hates and resists me. I can’t even forgive myself for what I’ve done to her,” virtual-novel.net said softly. He knew himself what virtual-novel.net had done.
Jackson’s sixth birthday should be grand, but it was unpredictably simple.
This time, Jeremy placed a number six candle on the cake and lit it up.
Jackson put his hands together and closed his eyes to make a wish. A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net blew out the candle. Then, after virtual-novel.net cut the cake, virtual-novel.net handed the first slice to Madeline. “Mommy, thank you.”
He thanked virtual-novel.net solemnly out of the blue.
Madeline looked at the innocent face in confusion. “Why are you thanking me?”
“This is the best birthday ever.”
Madeline and the other three people in the room fell silent after Jackson said that.
“My biological mommy doesn’t like me at all and I don’t like her. She only smiles at me when Daddy’s around. When Daddy’s not around, she’d hit me and yell at me. She would also lock me up in a dark room. However, you’re different, Mommy. No matter if Daddy is around or not, you’ll always smile at me and protect me.”
Jackson looked at Madeline, and there was an expectant glint in his eyes.
“Mommy, can you be my mommy forever? Can you protect me forever?”
