Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997

He called out to her reluctantly and held her tight in his arms.

Madeline did not push him away. Her tears were like pearls on a broken string as they fell freely.

Her love and longing for him were as much as she hated him and how badly she did not want to see him right now.

However, she could not stop herself.

“I’m in so much pain. Jeremy, do you understand how much pain I’m in? Why did you hurt my parents and our children?

“I only wanted to love you the moment I met you, but why do you have to make me stop loving you and make me despise you instead? Why?

“Even if they had once hurt me and made me sad, they were still the people closest to me in this world.

“I’d rather you kill me instead…”

When Jeremy heard Madeline’s last sentence, he felt the same pain he experienced back when he lost Madeline.
