Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife

As he approached her, the man removed his sunglasses and revealed his striking, gallant features.
Felipe stared at Cathy’s photo with red eyes, not speaking another word for some time.
Madeline was not surprised at all to find that Felipe was still alive.
She was merely shocked to see Felipe appear at that exact moment.
However, when she noticed Jeremy coming through the door, Madeline slowly began to understand.
Jeremy had left the house an hour ago, saying he had an important task to handle. It turned out he had gone to bail Felipe.
Felipe reflected on what had happened a few months ago. He had lost all hope and accepted the execution by shooting, giving
up any chance to appeal.
Later, however, he had been finally persuaded by Madeline and Jeremy, and Felipe finally came around.
He had decided to appeal. He chose to live rather than die.
After that, the matter had been handled discreetly. Apart from Madeline and Jeremy, nobody else knew that Felipe was
sentenced to 20 years in prison.
While they were at the prison’s visiting room, Felipe had repeatedly asked that they keep this a secret.
Felipe had hoped that he, a heinous scoundrel, was truly dead in Cathy’s impression.
He had not wanted to cause Cathy any further trouble or worry and had sincerely hoped that Adam and Cathy could have a
happy ending.
He would disappear forever from Cathy’s life.
Even after serving twenty years in prison, he would not see her again.
Jeremy had not intended to tell Felipe about this, but Felipe had seen the news on television during lunchtime and begged the
prison warden to contact Jeremy.
Felipe only had an hour of bail time; the police were waiting for him outside.

“Come on, Linnie.”
Jeremy stood at the door, extending his hand to Madeline.
Madeline understood and strode toward Jeremy.
“Linnie, let’s wait outside.” Jeremy held Madeline’s hand and walked toward the door.
Madeline turned her head and caught a glimpse of Felipe. At that moment, his tall, big build appeared fragile.
To stare at your loved one, knowing that the separation was eternal, was the most painful thing in the world.
Madeline, too, felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
She lifted her eyes and looked at the man standing beside her as the dense spring rain silently poured before them, and
Madeline suddenly felt that she was indeed lucky.
Despite all the darkness and pain she had suffered, being able to remain with her loved one was already a blessing to her.
Inside the house.
Felipe stared at Cathy’s photo, utterly lost in thought.
He recalled their first encounter on the beach. The memory remained fresh in his mind, but that little girl was no longer here now.
Felipe closed his eyes as they began to fill with tears.
He lit a candle, then wondered if the candle smoke was getting into his eyes as tears began to run down his face against his
volition. He then chuckled. “Maybe God had determined our fates from the very beginning. One of us had to die.”
