Read Married by Mistake Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife [by Sixteenth Child] Chapter 1137 – Taken off guard, Madeline
found herself tugged into the shower by Jeremy. She ended up losing her balance and fell into the man’s arms who
held her up in time.
Water droplets fell from the man’s wet hair, drenching her clothes. Madeline raised her hand to wipe her eyes but
found her wrist being held.
“Did you want to shower with me?” Jeremy’s deep baritone drifted into her ears bewitchingly.
Madeline felt her heartstrings shake, not knowing if Jeremy had found out her true motive.
She looked up to stare at the expression he was wearing, but the falling droplets had her eyes constantly closed.
“I just wanted to wash my hands.” Madeline gave an excuse, feeling guilty.

“Is that so?” Jeremy lowered his voice. The raspiness of his deep voice ignited something within her. “If you’re going
to wash your hands, you might as well wash the rest of you, hmm?”
“…”
Stunned, Madeline felt her cheeks grow warm.
They may have been married for many years now, but Madeline still felt shy at the idea of taking a shower
together.
Madeline’s cheeks were still burning even after they showered. Sitting frozen on the bed, she basked in the warmth
of Jeremy blowing her hair for her.
She could not stop thinking about the ball of tissue Jeremy had hidden away.
Why would he hide it if nothing was wrong?
As she fell on the bed, Madeline had the urge to search Jeremy’s pockets. However, the man’s hold on her was
constant.
Afraid that she would disturb his sleep, Madeline resigned herself to falling asleep as well.
Yet with his actions fresh in her mind, sleep refused to come.
Raising her worried gaze, she stared quietly at the man’s sleeping appearance under the faint moonlight.
With his eyes closed, she could no longer see the man’s differently colored irises. Still, his hair, scent, and voice had
all changed.
The thought stabbed into Madeline’s heart like a thorn as it began to swell.
She quietly moved toward him to press her lips against his in a genuine kiss.
“I love you, Jeremy. I really don’t want to lose you again.”
She then leaned into the man’s broad chest as sleep took her.
Just as Madeline closed her eyes, Jeremy’s deep ones slowly blinked open.
Under the quiet moonlight, the man stared calmly ahead as darkness swirled behind his deep gaze.
Tightening his arms in mock subconsciousness, he pulled the person in his arms in a tight embrace.

However, she woke up late to Jeremy making her breakfast instead.
His cooking was good and Madeline finished the food happily. Despite her smile, her heart was still mulling over the
hidden tissue.
Still, she knew that Jeremy had already gotten rid of it by now.
A few days had passed and Madeline did not see Jeremy coughing again. She wondered if she was overthinking.
She had not forgotten that call the other day.
Just what had Jeremy gone through over the past half a year?
He had not told her how he survived the life-threatening crisis, and she did not want to prod him either.
She knew that the only reason why he did not tell her was that he did not want her to worry.
Her heart ached for him. She wondered how much of a toll it had taken on him to suffer everything in silence.
