Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1150 – Her words had stunned
Jeremy. Madeline merely smiled and handed the drawing to him.
“I know that you have your own reason for doing that. I also know that you’ve been waiting to hear her say out that
word for a very long time…”
Jeremy felt his hold over his emotions slip as he watched Madeline pass him the drawing with the word ‘Daddy’ on
it.
He did not say anything, merely reaching out to take the drawing that Lillian had drawn with her heart.
“I’ll go check on Pudding. You take as much time as you need.” Madeline then turned around.
He was now alone in the empty courtyard.

Jeremy stared at the drawing under the moonlight and traced every figure with his slender finger before it finally
fell on the little girl who was calling out for her dad.
The night breeze blew at him with the fresh scent of flowers.
Even so, Jeremy could not help but smell something bitter instead.
Before him was a colorful and warm drawing, yet it seemed to be gray in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Lillian.”
The corner of his eyes grew hot and damp as he called out her name.
“Daddy is happy, I am,” he murmured under his breath as he carefully kept the drawing close by his chest.
Jeremy and Madeline spent the night in Whitman Manor.
It was around midnight when Jeremy carefully crept out of bed and into Lillian’s bedroom.
The weather was slowly transitioning into summer and the temperature began to rise. Entering the room, Jeremy
found that Lillian had kicked the blanket off to the side and her pajamas had risen up her stomach, showing a
corner of her small tummy.
Jeremy walked over, tucking Jackson in on the way before he made his way to Lillian’s bed. After adjusting his little
princess’ clothes, he softly tucked her in as well.
“Lillian,” he called out softly, his gaze looking soft.
He had planned to watch his little princess in silence when the child’s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her
bleary eyes.
Jeremy sat by the bed and watched Lillian blink while she reached out to lightly grab Jeremy’s hand.
Stunned, Jeremy gripped the small hand in his palm.
Lillian smiled subconsciously before her eyes slipped shut again and she drifted back to sleep.
It was almost as if all of this was a dream to her.
Instead of turning away from her, her dad gripped her hand tighter in her dreams. It was warm, very warm…
Madeline watched the scene by the door and felt her heart grow heavy.
Why did he find the need to be so cold to Lillian? Why?
Madeline watched by the door for as long as Jeremy sat in the kid’s room. It was only when she heard his footsteps
that she quickly ran back to lie down in the bedroom.
Not knowing that Madeline was awake, Jeremy quietly went to smoke a cigarette by the balcony.

Soon later, he joined Madeline in bed.
Wrapping an arm around her, he kissed her lips and caressed her brows.
“Goodnight, Linnie.”
“…”
Madeline pretended to be asleep, but as Jeremy approached, she could smell the faint scent of herbs on the man.
Why would a normal cigarette have such a refreshing scent?
Despite her confusion, Madeline fell asleep before she knew it.
Madeline was still asleep the next morning when she heard her phone vibrate non-stop.
She turned around to see that she was getting a call from Ava. She picked it up. “Why are you calling me so early in
the morning, Ava?”
“How are you still asleep, Maddie? Did you see the breaking news online yet?”
