Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 111

Under Alaric’s stern and aged gaze, Malcolm sensed a subtle tremor in his heart. Instinctively, he

clarified, “I won’t pursue any further connection with her. I was merely testing her earlier.”

Naomi miscarried and framed Tabitha, then immediately reported to the police, leaving everyone

astonished. Naomi alone could not have carried out this series of actions.

Malcom continued to explain that, unfortunately, the intricate and

complex forces behind her had repeatedly thwarted Donovan’s attempts to trace them. The leads were

intercepted swiftly, making further progress. currently impossible.

The person behind Naomi was incredibly familiar with the Sinclair family, almost as if they knew it

inside out. However, when investigating Emmanuel, they only discovered his significant influence

abroad, with everything else appearing clean and clear.

Malcolm had no choice but to temporarily restrain himself, hoping to extract some information from

Naomi to gain insight into the situation.

After hearing Malcolm’s explanation, Alaric furrowed his brow even tighter.

“Grandpa, please believe me. I will definitely seek justice for Tabitha and make amends for her!”

Malcolm promised.

Alaric recalled Tabitha’s frail and pallid appearance, He suddenly found Malcolm’s promise

inconsequential and dismissively waved his hand.

“Fine, go ahead and investigate,” Alaric relented.

In the recent series of incidents involving Tabitha, overwhelmed with sorrow and anger, Alaric also fell

ill and was admitted to the hospital.

However, he kept this information from reaching Tabitha to prevent her from worrying and feeling Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

To show filial piety, Emmanuel visited the hospital almost every day to see Alaric and took the

opportunity to check on Tabitha as well.

His heart eased when observing her condition improving day by day.

Despite denying any romantic feelings for Tabitha, it didn’t prevent him from trying to gain favor in her

presence.

That day, after engaging in two rounds of chess with Alaric at the hospital, he appeared somewhat

distracted.

“Grandfather, you must be tired. Take a good rest. I’ll take my leave,” Emmanuel said.

“Where are you going?” Alaric’s keen eyes seemed to have seen through Emmanuel. His tone was

commanding. “Tabby has just recovered from a serious illness. She needs rest, so don’t disturb her too

often.”

Emmanuel’s face bore a gentle smile, and his hazel eyes stayed calm as he said, “Grandpa, I am

friends with Tabitha. I’ll keep my visit brief, and I’ll make sure not to disturb her rest.”

Alaric felt disturbed observing his indifferent demeanor and coldly grunted, “I know Tabby is wonderful,

and it’s understandable if you like her. But you need to be clear that she is your cousin. You shouldn’t

entertain any inappropriate thoughts. Keep yourself in check!”

In the past, Alaric had been subtle in his warnings. This time, however, he directly addressed the issue,

instantly causing Emmanuel to display a face of embarrassment.

“Grandpa, is there some misunderstanding? Tabitha and I are truly just ordinary friends,” Emmanuel

clarified.

“You better remember what you just said,” Alaric declared in a cold tone. “Regardless of Tabby’s charm,

she’s not someone for you to harbor thoughts about. That rascal Malcolm has been making progress

lately, and their marital relationship is on the mend. I won’t tolerate any attempts from you to disrupt

them.”

Emmanuel had to reassure Alaric multiple times that he harbored no romantic intentions toward Tabitha

before Alaric finally put the matter to

rest.

. However, Emmanuel’s act dropped instantly after he stepped out of the

ward.

As Alaric’s daughter–in–law, even when Tabitha attracted some unwanted attention for no apparent

reason. Rather than placing blame on her, Alaric consistently defended her and, in doing so, took the

chance to express his disdain for Malcolm.

Alaric’s words further cemented Emmanuel’s judgment that Tabitha and Malcolm must divorce.

During Emmanuel’s teenage years, his grandfather sent him overseas for academic pursuits and,

incidentally, to attend to longstanding family

matters.

Navigating life abroad wasn’t easy, but Emmanuel had long mastered the art of wearing a mask. He

effortlessly conveyed the image of a gentle, harmless, refined young gentleman, charming everyone

around him.

Due to his frequent smiles, he appeared exceedingly gentle, yet the more amiably he smiled, the more

calculating his mind became.

Even in his current state of an expressionless face, which emitted a chilling and ominous vibe, it was

evident that his emotions had been stirred.

As Emmanuel reached the end of the secure corridor, a bodyguard promptly stepped forward and

respectfully stated, “Mr. Sinclair, here is what you requested.”

It turned out to be a bouquet of dried flowers, meticulously processed to eliminate pollen and fragrance,

yet retaining a vivid appearance that mimicked freshly picked blooms.

Emmanuel accepted it, waving lazily, and the bodyguard promptly left.

Today, Tabitha was in high spirits. As the torrential rain abruptly subsided, the air outside became

exceptionally fresh. She decided to take a stroll on. the downstairs lawn.

Emmanuel knocked on the door and entered, greeted her with a smile, “Good afternoon, Tabitha. Have

you had your lunch?”

“I’ve caten,” Tabitha replied. She was well aware that Emmanuel was the driving force behind Naomi,

and each time she saw him, she couldn’t help but bristle with discomfort.

But Trevor had made no progress so far, leaving her no choice but to temporarily suppress the hatred

in her heart and patiently deal with the situation.

“This is for you,” Emmanuel said.

Emmanuel handed her the bouquet of dried sunflowers. “I specially ordered this dried sunflower

bouquet, no pollen, no fragrance. It won’t have any impact on your health.”

But flowers that had lost their scent were akin to losing their soul.

Tabitha felt weary, yet she graciously and sincerely accepted the dried flowers, saying, “They are

beautiful.”

“Sunflowers are like little suns, representing vitality and energy,” Emmanuel said.

Since receiving a gift from Tabitha, Emmanuel suspected she,might be somewhat superstitious.

Therefore, he racked his brains to come up with some auspicious words. “This type of flower brings

good luck. If you place it in your hospital room, I’m sure it will help speed up your recovery.”
