Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 148

Tabitha lowered her voice but spoke clearly.

After listening to what she said, Malcolm frowned and disagreed, “Why do you do this even though you

know there’s something wrong with Emmanuel? If you really want to take revenge, I can help you.”

“I’ve made up my mind. It’s up to you whether you agree or not,” Tabitha insisted.

After leading Malcolm out of the bedroom indifferently, Tabitha pressed her back against the door.

She thought sadly, ‘For a long time, I’ve been investigating all those things alone. Now that I’m very

close to the truth, so what if Malcolm has found out Naomi’s true colors? After losing the baby, there’s

no possibility of a second chance for us.

That night, Tabitha had a very long dream. In it, her baby did not die but was born into the world

smoothly and grew up healthy.

She repeated in her dream that she would avenge the baby.

After waking up, Tabitha looked around the bedroom and realized that her baby had not been born as

smoothly as in her dream, and she could not hear her calling her “Mommy” in a soft voice.

Tabitha shivered.

Even though summer was around the corner, she still felt cold.

But a moment later, she quickly recovered her mood, washed up, and changed into a long purple dress

with low–heeled canvas shoes.

Malcolm also did not sleep well last night. He woke up early and sat in the living room reading a

newspaper.

When Tabitha went downstairs, he caught sight of her long purple dress, and his heart skipped a beat.

She was already frail, and in that dress, she looked more like a high school student who was still

studying. She did not look like she was married at all.

Thinking of what she said the night before, Malcolm felt a surge of uneasiness.

Malcolm was worried that if Emmanuel saw her current look, he would be even more reluctant to give

up on her.

Tabitha saw him staring straight at her and nodded in response.

Breakfast was ready. She sat down for breakfast, and Malcolm also went. over to sit with her.

Seeing her eat quickly. Malcolm could not help but ask, “Are you going to meet Emmanuel today?”

Yes. The recital starts at 7:30 p.m. at Universal Theater,” Tabitha replied instantly.

She did not ask for his help again. She had made up her mind and would not change it under any

circumstances.

Malcolm understood it was difficult to change her mind and nodded without further persuasion. “Okay,

got it.”

After breakfast, Tabitha to the hospital to see Alaric first and then to the clinic as usual.

As expected, Emmanuel was there waiting for her with the reason to ask her to help him apply the

medicine.

Seeing that Malcolm did not come with Tabitha, Emmanuel seemed to be in a good mood and smiled

brighter.

‘It seems Malcolm didn’t tell Tabitha the truth, or she would have hated me and stayed away from me.

In that case, I would have gone mad,’ he thought.

Π

Tabitha observed his expression while carefully applying medicine on him. Then, she said, “You’re

recovering well. You don’t have to come to get medicated again tomorrow.”

Emmanuel was taken aback. “But when I woke up, my wound still hurt, and I felt a little dizzy,” he

claimed.

Tabitha looked at him seriously and said, “The wound is fine now. But if you are still not feeling well,

you may have to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.”

Her eyes were so clear that she seemed to see through all his thoughts. For a moment, Emmanuel felt

his hands and feet stiffen and did not know where to place them. He felt uneasy.

“There’s no need to go to the hospital. It’s too troublesome. Just help me treat it…” Emmanuel insisted.

“Emmanuel, do you still feel uncomfortable?” Tabitha continued with some regret, “I have two recital

tickets here. I originally wanted to ask if you had time to come to the recital with me. But since you’re

not feeling well, then let me ask Mdm. Sinclair if she’s free or not…”

Before she could finish, Emmanuel quickly agreed, “It’s okay. I’m just a little uncomfortable. I think I’ll

feel better after half a day. If you need someone to accompany you, I’m fine.”

Emmanuel was so anxious that he failed to maintain his gentleness, and all his thoughts were written

all over his face.

Tabitha sneered in her heart, but she acted a little shy. She showed him the two recital tickets and said,

“At 7:30 p.m., a renowned pianist, Ulysses Goya, will perform at Universal Theater. I have always liked

him. It took

me some effort to buy these two tickets.”

“I like Mr. Goya too.” Emmanuel controlled his beating heart and smiled. gently. “If you don’t mind, can I

have one of the tickets?”

“Okay, but I’ll keep the tickets for you. I’ll wait for you at the gate of Universal Theater.” Tabitha happily

handed him one of the tickets and showed him the time. “See you at half past seven in the evening.”

The words “wait for you” and “see you” from Tabitha caused Emmanuel’s ears to feel hot after he

sensed some affection in them.

He responded in a low voice, “Okay, see you later.”

In the past, he had indeed done everything by all means to fight for power and hurt Tabitha in a

despicable way. But he decided to turn over a new leaf and do whatever he could to make it up to her,

as long as Tabitha liked him little by little.

Emmanuel could not focus on his work almost the whole day and felt that every second past that day Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

was extremely long.

He acted so strangely that his secretary could not help but look at him a few more times when she

came in to get him to sign the documents.

At the same time, Malcolm also felt the same about time. Although he was well prepared for it, he was

still worried that an accident might happen.

He walked back and forth in the office, looking a little anxious.

He knew that Tabitha was acting, but he still hated Emmanuel’s obsessive gaze at Tabitha. In

particular, Tabitha would talk softly and kindly to him… The mere thought of such a scene could easily

increase his discomfort.

Besides, Emmanuel had a bad record. He was worried Emmanuel would use dirty, despicable tricks to

deal with Tabitha again.

Saul could not help saying, “Mr. Malcolm Sinclair, everything is ready. We

can definitely trap Mr. Emmanuel Sinclair tonight. Don’t worry too much.”

Malcolm did not say a word but nodded slightly.

In Malcolm’s point of view, Tabitha already knew Emmanuel’s true colors, so even if his plan did not

work out, letting them watch a recital together would not change anything.

However, the incident confirmed that Tabitha would invite other men to watch recitals in front of him

without any consideration for his feelings, and it proved Tabitha did not like him anymore. That made

him most. uncomfortable.

It was finally five o’clock in the evening. Emmanuel immediately got up and walked out of the office to

go home. He wanted to change into a more elegant outfit before going to the appointment.

As he walked out of the building, he saw Naomi getting into Malcolm’s car and could not help frowning.

‘Malcolm has already discovered Naomi’s true colors, but why is he still meeting her? Why is he still

acting so attentive and considerate?‘ he wondered.

Thinking that Malcolm was still actively looking for evidence, Emmanuel’s face darkened slightly. He

immediately stopped a taxi and asked the driver. to follow them.

Saul saw the car following through the rearview mirror and smiled. “Mr. Sinclair, as expected, he is

following us.”

Naomi immediately turned around and saw the car following closely behind. Her face was pale with

nervousness. She said to Malcolm in a panic, “Malcolm, Emmanuel is cruel. If he finds out that I’m

fooling him, he may kill me.”

“Don’t worry.” Malcolm looked at her in disgust. “I’ll keep you safe as long

as you listen to me.”

It was rush hour after work, so there were traffic jams everywhere. Saul deliberately drove to places

with more cars. They were still at the downtown area after driving for half an hour.

Seeing that it was past six o’clock, Emmanuel secretly worried that if he continued to follow them, he

would miss the appointment with Tabitha.

On his second thought, Naomi was on the same side as him. He did not think she would be so stupid

as to tell Malcolm the truth.

There should be no need for me to be so nervous, he reassured himself inwardly.

When he saw it was almost time, Malcolm said to Naomi, “Text Emmanuel

now.”

Naomi immediately picked up her phone and edited a text message as Malcolm had said earlier: [Mr.

Sinclair, Malcolm suddenly came to me today. He wants to take me to meet someone. He didn’t say

anything when I asked who we’d be meeting but only told me he had found out the truth about Tabitha’s

accident. What should I do now?]

After typing the message out, she showed it to Malcolm before sending it.
