Chapter 752
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
Just then, the man who was chasing them appeared before them.
Realizing this, Madeline took Jeremyâs hand and turned again. âLetâs leave.â
Jeremy followed decisively, but his height and ethereal appearance made it easy for him to be picked out from the crowd. The man chased after them.
Without hesitation, Madeline pulled Jeremy onto a tourist bus that was passing by.
By the time the group chased over, the bus had begun to move.
They were temporarily safe.
Madeline let out a sigh of relief. The bus jostled, and with a hand holding the bouquet, she felt herself fall before she could grab the railing.
She had not fallen, though, as Jeremy managed to catch her by the waist.
She found herself being held in his broad chest as his long arms came to settle around her waist. It all felt so natural.
As far as others were concerned, the two looked the epitome of a sickly-sweet couple.
âOut of the two groups that chased after us, is there anyone you recognize?â Jeremy whispered.
Madeline shook her head. âNone.â
Jeremy looked deep in thought. âThey might be Felipeâs men. Thereâs no way he wouldnât know that weâve come to F Country, and if he had indeed played a part in Lillianâs end, then thereâs no way he wouldnât stop us from further investigating the matter.â
Jeremy continued, âEver since that happened to Lillian, I canât help but think that Felicity and Felipe are acquainted.â
âThey are.â Madeline confirmed, telling Jeremy of the evidence she found from her investigation.
Jeremy was silent for a moment. âGet some rest tonight. It looks like weâve got to take a different approach for our investigation tomorrow.â
âDifferent approach?â
Madeline did not understand. After returning to the hotel, Madeline took a bath and went to sleep while Jeremy slept on the couch.
The night passed and Jeremy was nowhere to be found when Madeline woke up the next morning.
He returned after she had washed up, holding some information in his hands.
Madeline knew that Jeremy had gone back to where they were last night and went alone because he did not want her to be put in any danger.
Knowing that it was for her safety, Madeline did not complain.
The two had breakfast before Jeremy rented a car to drive Madeline to their destination.
Upon arrival at a specific apartment block, they were surprised to find Felicity dressed beautifully as she entered a taxi. From the way she was dressed, she looked just like Madeline.
Madeline and Jeremy followed behind. After a while, Madeline realized that the road looked familiar.
They soon arrived at Babyâs Breath Manor, the same place where Felipe had once let Madeline live in.
Felicity alighted the car and was greeted by a man in a black suit.
The man seemed to have noticed their car as he was slowly making his way toward them with a suspicious look on his face.
Madeline quickly explained, âThis manor is under Felipeâs name, and since itâs in a rather rural place, itâs rare to have people stop here. I recognize him. Heâs one of Felipeâs bodyguards. I think he might have noticed us.â
Jeremy immediately unclasped his seatbelt.
Thinking that he was about to alight the car, Madeline placed her hand over his.
âThe manor was guarded by these bodyguards all the time over the past three years I lived here. We canât fight them head-on, nor can we be found because these people recognize me.â
The bodyguard was almost at the car when Madeline was done speaking.
Madeline was wracking her brain for a plan to not be seen when Jeremy suddenly leaned over to scoot his attractive features before her. He cupped her cheek and leaned down for a kiss.
