Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 65

Naomi answered, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I want to see how you are doing… I- I made

you soup.”

Only then did Malcolm notice that Naomi was still carrying a food flask. His blue eyes fell on the back of

her scratched hand.

Sylvie was the one who inflicted it. The cut was so deep that Naomi’s bone was almost visible. It had

been nearly a month since, but the injury had yet to heal completely.

Malcolm quietly took the food flask and said in a calm tone, “The wound on the back of your hand is so

deep. Does it still hurt? Sylvie and you have a good relationship. Why did she hurt you so badly?”

Naomi hurriedly hid the wound. “It’s almost fully healed. Sylvie was in a bad mental state at that time,

so she lost control of herself. She had something to deal with at home and went back a few days

earlier.” She was afraid that Malcolm would ask more questions, so she quickly talked about other

things. “Malcolm, I heard you moved back to the Sinclair manor recently.”

Malcolm nodded.

“Ms. Jarvis is also there, isn’t she?” Naomi asked with red eyes, “Malcolm, do you like Ms. Jarvis now?”

“No, don’t overthink.” Malcolm said lightly, “I went to Quilton on a business trip some time ago and

knew that Tabitha had been to Centennial Hotel before she was pregnant.”

Naomi pretended to be surprised and asked, “What was she doing there?”

Malcolm stared at Naomi’s face and said word by word, “She swiped her card and entered my

exclusive suite.” He explained briefly, and said at last, “Tabitha thinks the child is mine.”

Naomi seemed to be bewildered. “How could such a ridiculous thing happen in such a high–end hotel?”

“Yes, it’s ridiculous.” Malcolm lowered his eyes. The light entering from the window shone on his face

and made his facial contour more profound. His eyes were a little gloomy, “But it has already

happened.”

Naomi immediately showed some sympathy on her face and asked, “Are you going to tell Ms. Jarvis

the truth?”

“I can’t tell her.” Malcolm said firmly, “She’s not in good health, so for now, at least, I can’t let her know.”

“I see.” Naomi nodded understandingly, and at the same time, she was a little worried and asked,

“Then you said before that you would marry me.”

Seeing her gloomy look, Malcolm’s scrutinizing eyes eased up slightly. He apologized, “Sorry, I can’t

give you a legal title for now.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can be with you, status doesn’t matter.” Naomi humbled herself and

said, “I’m just afraid that my child will be mocked when he grows up.”

“The baby is mine, so I will take responsibility.” Malcolm’s voice became colder as he continued, “You

don’t have to be psychologically burdened.”

Naomi did not dare to ask more questions. She responded obediently and wanted to lean against his

arms again.

However, Malcolm pulled her away and suddenly asked, “Naomi, the security system of Centennial

Hotel is very good. How did you get into my room that night?”

Naomi’s heart sank as she realized that Malcolm was testing her.

Fortunately, Emmanuel had explained the details to her before. She calmly explained, “You were

drinking with a client at the hotel, and I was

there that night. I recognized you and saw that you had drunk a lot. I was quite worried, so I followed

you back to the hotel.”

It was easy to explain what happened later. Malcolm was drunk, and she liked him, so it was natural for

them to sleep together. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Malcolm nodded and did not ask again, but there was a bit of

imperceptible disappointment in his tone.

Naomi clenched her hands beside him.

She thought, ‘Malcolm is suspicious of me!

‘What is Emmanuel doing at this time? Didn’t he say that he would make a move himself? Why is there

no sign of him?”

After a few drinks with the directors, Emmanuel excused himself.

Today was such a good opportunity for him to visit the Sinclair manor.

While passing by a flower shop, Emmanuel saw the succulents and green plants in it. His mind

suddenly came up with a good idea.

Tabitha had been living at the Sinclair manor for a while, so she was well- rested. Her face turned rosy

again.

To save the baby, she did not even dare to go out again. She had been staying in the Sinclair manor

and felt a little bored after a while.

It was sunny today, so she walked around the garden and found a large, barren space.

She thought of planting some flowers on it.

However, she had a pollen allergy and could not be as careless as before she was pregnant, so she

discussed the employment of two gardeners to

help her with George.

George smiled and agreed with all that she said.

When Emmanuel came over, he heard Tabitha say, “We can plant some species with a faint fragrance.

Once they bloom, I’ll watch from far away, so there should not be a problem.”

He approached her smilingly and said, “You can grow Natal lily. This kind of flower will purify the

exhaust gas in the air. It also has a light smell and doesn’t cause allergy easily.”

As he approached, he gave off an aura like a gentle breeze. It made others relax involuntarily.

Tabitha looked at Emmanuel in surprise and was a little defensive.

Tabitha was not wrong for suspecting Emmanuel.

Emmanuel only discovered her pollen allergy a few days ago, and this day,

he already knew what kind of flowers was suitable for her.
