Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chatper 142

Chapter 142

Tabitha felt the word “like” was too ironic for someone like Emmanuel. He would do whatever it took to

achieve his goals. He even could cooperate with a woman like Naomi, so Tabitha thought he had no

bottom line.

Tabitha felt no need to be ethical with people who did not have a bottom line.

Tabitha had a plan coming into her mind, which was to beat him at his

own game.

Emmanuel perceived Tabitha’s concern for him and wished he could spend more time with her. He

deliberately drove slowly, but they still reached the Sinclair manor quickly.

After Tabitha got out of the car, she bent down slightly and said to him, “Thank you for driving me back.”

“You’re welcome.” Emmanuel said, “If it weren’t for you today, I might have been doomed. In fact, you

are my savior.”

Tabitha smiled and replied, “I just happened to look for you.”

“But you did save my life.” Emmanuel fixed his eyes on her and continued, “Tabitha, I will repay you.”

Pretending not to see the emotions in his eyes, Tabitha smiled faintly and agreed, “Okay then, treat me

to a meal some other day.”

Emmanuel was a little disappointed and secretly hated Tabitha for being insensitive, but he quickly

pulled himself together. “Good. I’ll definitely remember it.”

After saying goodbye to Emmanuel, Tabitha turned around and returned. to the house. Coincidentally,

Malcolm was hurrying out and ran into Tabitha.

He immediately grabbed her wrist and asked with concern, “Tabitha, where have you been this late?”

When Malcolm returned from Ackleton, he heard that Tabitha had left the hospital and was back at the

Sinclair manor. Thus, he immediately rushed back to the manor.

But when he returned to the Sinclair manor, he found that she had not come back. So, he decided to go

out again to look for her. Along the way home, he was worried about her in the car. He could not rest

assured if he

did not see her.

Fortunately, he saw her coming back as soon as he went out.

But the car outside the door that brought Tabitha back had aroused his

concerns.

Malcolm frowned slightly and questioned, “Were you with Emmanuel just

now?”

Tabitha made no secret of it and nodded. “Yes.”

She did not want to talk much with Malcolm, broke free from his hand, and walked past him directly.

Malcolm looked at the car outside that had not driven away and clenched his fists. He pursed his lips,

turned around, and followed her in.

He had already found some clues about the connection between Emmanuel and Naomi.

Although there was no conclusive evidence to tell Tabitha for the time being, Malcolm must make her

understand that Emmanuel had ill intentions. He wanted to keep her away from Emmanuel.

When Tabitha returned to the house, George saw the wound on her foot and shouted in shock, “Mrs.

Sinclair, you’re injured so severely. You should

either stay in the hospital or go home for the recovery. How can you run around at this late hour?”

Tabitha said with a smile, “I didn’t run around. I just went to Emmanuel’s. house to get something.”

In a hurry, George made peppermint tea for Tabitha and asked the housekeeper to run hot water for

her to take a bath.

Tabitha thanked George sincerely and went upstairs.

Her foot was badly hit. She did not feel anything when she beat Jayden hard. But at that moment, she

found that the pain was severe after her nerves relaxed. She felt the pain even further when she took a

step up the

stairs.

But she only frowned slightly, and without showing any pain on her face, she calmly went on to the

second step.

Suddenly, a pair of long arms wrapped from her side and picked her up directly.

Tabitha’s body leaned backward, and things in her view inverted. She subconsciously wrapped her

hands around Malcolm’s neck.

Malcolm had not been so close to her for a long time. The familiar fragrance in his arms made his heart

beat fast. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “You are seriously injured. I will bring you upstairs.”

Tabitha’s foot was indeed in pain, so she did not refuse. Anyway, she needed not to be responsible for

the hug.

Malcolm’s arms were long and strong. He held her steadily and firmly but walked very slowly. It was

only dozens of steps, but he took more than five minutes up.

He took Tabitha straight into the bedroom and laid her gently on the

couch.

Tabitha nodded calmly at him. “Thank you,” she said.

Malcolm pursed his lips and said, “Amy has run the hot water for you. Can you do it alone? Do you

need any help?”

“No need. It’s just a minor injury.” Tabitha immediately refused. “You may go out.”

“Tabitha…” Malcolm said seriously in a deep voice, “Emmanuel is unkind. You should be on guard

when you get along with him in the future.”

“Why do you say that?” Tabitha looked at him and pretended to be surprised. “He’s gentle and looks

like a good man.”

“Trust me, you can’t imagine what he has done abroad. Anyway, stay away from him,” he emphasized.

Tabitha knew Malcolm would not say what Emmanuel had done and would provide no information she

needed, so she only responded calmly, “I see. You can go out now. The water is getting cold.”

Malcolm wanted to say something more, but Tabitha resolutely requested him out and slammed the

door shut.

Malcolm looked at the closed door and felt that it was like Tabitha’s heart which could no longer be

opened for him.

As he stood outside for a long time, his heart ached with the thought of Tabitha’s gentle, trusting face

when she faced Emmanuel.

Tabitha was his wife, and he would never allow anyone to covet her, let alone hurt her! Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Emmanuel got home and saw all the lights had been switched off, he knew that Lorelai was

probably hiding in her room again.

He had grown accustomed to the darkness, and without turning on the lights, he moved slowly into the

bedroom in total darkness.

Emmanuel closed his eyes and felt the scent of Tabitha in the air, overwhelming him everywhere.

The next morning. Emmanuel had a pair of notably dark circles on his face, but his eyes were full of

vitality as if sunlight suddenly shone in a corner that had always been filled with dead air for years.

Even Lorelai sensed that Emmanuel seemed to be different. But when she looked closely, she found

Emmanuel was still the same, without any differences.

After breakfast, Emmanuel went back to work at Sinclair Group headquarters. The receptionist,

Narcissa Tisdale, smiled sweetly at Emmanuel and greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.”

“Good morning,” answered Emmanuel.

Emmanuel’s smile was gentle, pleasant, and vibrant.

Narcissa was stunned by his gentle look and said with a blushing face, “Mr. Sinclair, Ms. Boyle over

there wants to see you.”

Following the direction pointed out by Narcissa, Emmanuel spotted Naomi sitting on a couch in the

lobby. She nodded and smiled at him. when he looked over.
