Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296

Ryan took a handkerchief and wiped Madeline’s lips in what seemed to be a caring manner. “Don’t frown all the time. Smile a little.”

Madeline did not know how she was supposed to smile, but Ryan seemed adamant about seeing one on her face at that moment.

She forced the corners of her lips to curl and gave Ryan a small smile.

Ryan was elated. “There we go. Now you’re looking more like my wife with how well you’re listening to me.”

“Ryan, bring me to see—”

“Eveline.” Sean suddenly entered the room.

Madeline looked up and was surprised to see Eloise following behind him.

“Mom?!” She watched as Eloise looked up and smiled at Ryan.

“Don’t worry, Eveline. Your mom came back last night after Mr. Jones’ men went to look for her. You fell asleep early yesterday, so I didn’t wake you up,” Sean explained to Madeline.

It turned out Eloise had already returned last night and Ryan was merely making fun of her moments ago.

Ryan met Madeline’s gaze and smiled. “You guys should talk. There are a few things I need to do.”

Sean nodded and watched Ryan leave with a smile on his face. He seemed to like Ryan a lot.

Madeline did not know how to tell Sean that Ryan was a horrifying two-faced man.

With Ryan gone, Madeline let out a sigh of relief and took Eloise’s hand. The weight in her chest was lifted.

“Thank goodness you’re alright, Mom. It’s my fault for not looking after you when I was with Jeremy.” Madeline blamed herself.

Eloise frowned in confusion. “Who’s Jeremy? Is it that young man you kissed?”

“…” Madeline flushed in embarrassment.

She was about to change the subject when she saw Sean glancing outside before carefully shutting the door.

“Dad?” Madeline found his actions weird. “What’s wrong?”

Sean turned and walked back to Madeline, his expression turning heavy. “Tell Dad the truth, Eveline. Did something happen between you and Ryan? I could feel that something was wrong yesterday at the hospital and after hearing your conversation just now when I was at the door. I can’t help but think that something’s wrong.”

Madeline did not expect her father to be so observant. She did not want to lie to him, so she told everything from the beginning.

Knowing that her plan to escape was nulled, Madeline stared blankly out the window and watched the raindrops patter against it.

“Are you disappointed that I’m coming along?” Ryan suddenly asked, cutting the silence in the car.

Madeline did not reply.

“My apologies for destroying your family’s plan to escape.”

“…”

Madeline’s heartstrings tugged as she stared at Ryan in disbelief, the man had an eerie smile on his face. Ryan suddenly brought the car to an emergency brake and Madeline heard a loud crash from the front.

She looked up to find Sean and Eloise’s car amongst a severe car accident.

“Mom! Dad!”

She quickly went to open the car door, but Ryan grabbed her wrist as a chuckle drifted into her ears.

“Don’t be in such a rush. Come look at this first.”
