Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 67

As soon as he approached. Malcolm heard Emmanuel say. “This is the seedling of Natal lily. Try to

plant a small plot of them first to see if it’s difficult to nurture.

Tabitha accepted the light blue plastic bag he handed over, which contained dozens of seedlings.

Thank you.

Emmanuel smiled. You’re welcome.”

Tabitha.” Malcolm suddenly called her. The doctor said you should try not to stay outdoors during this

period. Go back inside first.”

“You’re back?” Tabitha paused and looked at him.

Tabitha had been embarrassed to face Malcolm because of the drunken incident.

These days, she felt that Malcolm was not as indifferent as before and seemed to have little contact

with Naomi. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, now she knew. It was not that Malcolm did not contact Naomi. but Tabitha was just unaware

of it.

Tabitha’s heart suddenly became calm, and she smiled with no emotion.

Old habits die hard after all.

She greeted him faintly, spoke to Emmanuel, and turned to leave the garden.

This woman’s attitude toward Malcolm was at least 100 times worse than

that toward Emmanuel.

The atmosphere around Malcolm was a little heavy. Emmanuel came over and patted him on the

shoulder with a smile. “Malcolm, you don’t seem to be in a good mood?”

Malcolm gave him a blank stare.

“Why are you staring at me?” Emmanuel shrugged innocently and said, “I didn’t make her angry. We

were chatting just fine earlier.”

Malcolm did not want to listen to Emmanuel’s provocation anymore and strode forward to catch up with

Tabitha.

Tabitha was much better now, but she still walked very slowly..

She held the tiny houseleek in her right hand and a bag of seedlings in her left. Her expression was

quite mild.

Malcolm called, “Tabitha.”

Tabitha heard someone calling her and reflexively turned her head. Malcolm quickly walked up to her.

“I remember I once told you that Emmanuel is not a simple person. You should stay away from him,” he

said.

“Oh,” Tabitha asked casually, “Then tell me. What could he want from me?”

She thought, I’m a married woman, pregnant, and don’t have much money or power. What does

Emmanuel want from deliberately approaching me?‘

Malcolm’s eyes fell on the houseleek in Tabitha’s hand. The green reflected on the back of her hand,

and there was a kind of peaceful beauty.

He speculated that Emmanuel wanted her because of her beauty..

“I won’t hurt you.” Malcolm rubbed his eyebrows and said, “If he gives you something, you must be

careful.”

“It’s just a pot of ordinary succulents. It doesn’t even cost 20 dollars.” Tabitha said, “This is better than

you giving that woman a house.”

Malcolm looked at Tabitha’s cold face and could not help but frown. “Tabitha, I’m just caring about you.

Stop using this as an excuse to hold forth.”

“I’m just telling the truth, too.” Tabitha hugged the houseleek and said. coldly, “If you don’t like to listen

to this, good. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

Malcolm did not want to quarrel with Tabitha. Every time they did, he would lose, and they would also

separate unhappily after each time.

He turned around and went back to his room with a sullen face.

Tabitha watched him walk away and lowered her eyes slightly.

Recently, Malcolm’s attitude toward her had obviously improved, and he admitted her child in front of

Alaric. She was not only full of vigilance but also had a hint of expectation in her heart.

However, she soon came back to her senses. As long as Naomi existed, there would be no way for

them to coexist peacefully.

That night’s meal, Tabitha ate seriously throughout the dinner and did not talk to Malcolm at all.

Emmanuel, an outsider, felt the tense atmosphere between the married couple. Naturally, he did not

say anything and was about to leave after dinner.

Alaric stopped him, “Play chess with me before you go.”

Emmanuel could not refuse Alaric’s request.

Alaric suddenly said, “You’re getting along well with Tabby.”

Emmanuel paused and smiled calmly. “I just think she has a lot in common with Mother, so I usually

talk more to her when we meet.”

“Since you are quite familiar with Tabby, do you think she is more lively. today?” Alaric was not as

alienated as usual. Instead, he spoke like an ordinary elder talking to their younger about mundane

stuff. He added, “So did Malcolm. I saw he almost broke the spoon when he was eating. And he even

ate several sauerkrauts.”

Emmanuel seemed puzzled. “I don’t understand.”

Alaric explained, “Malcolm has hated the taste of sauerkraut since childhood. He ate a few spoonfuls

today and didn’t realize it. It’s probably because he was angered from quarreling with Tabby. They used

to keep a courteous distance and interact peacefully, but they never looked like a couple. Now that they

started having lover’s quarrel, it’s a great progress.”

Emmanuel lowered his eyelashes to hide the coldness in his eyes.

He thought, ‘So my existence didn’t cause more conflicts between them but became an emotional

catalyst instead?”

“Manny, if you’re free, please help persuade Malcolm. A little quarrel is fine, but a big argument would

be terrible. Tell him to take the initiative to coax Tabby,” Alaric said.

Emmanuel smiled helplessly. “Malcolm and I haven’t been close since we were kids. He probably won’t

listen to me.”

“How are you two not close? You’re both young adults, so you have

something in common.” Alaric was a little dissatisfied and said, “Unless you don’t want to help me?”

Emmanuel finally made a good impression on Alaric recently, so he could not let it go to waste and

hurriedly said, “I’ll give it a try.”

“That’s more like it.” Alaric smiled happily and declared, “Checkmate.”

Alaric moved a white chess piece on the chessboard and took Emmanuel’s last black chess piece.

Emmanuel praised Alaric for his excellent chess skills, but he was secretly analyzing what the latter

said just now.

He felt that Alaric was warning him against butting into Tabitha and Malcolm’s relationship.
