Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 12

Tabitha had just recovered, and her tone was a little unsteady due to

anxiety. As soon as she finished speaking, she coughed, and the cyan blood vessels on her forehead

slightly bulged.

Chadwick hurriedly held her and said worriedly, “Tabby, you just got discharged. Don’t get too

emotional.”

Malcolm just thought it was ridiculous.

Tabitha, who used to be as obedient as a cat in front of him, now revealed her claws at him just for the

pretty boy.

Noticing Malcolm’s scrutinizing gaze, Chadwick frowned slightly and pulled Tabitha’s sleeve to signal

her not to be angry. His gentle eyes didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he gave Malcolm a kind

smile.

He said, “Mr. Sinclair seems to know a lot about plants. I do like to raise some plants in my spare time, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

but I didn’t expect you to speak highly of this pot of jasmine. If you’re interested, I’ll give you one next

time.”

His gentle smile made Malcolm unhappy, and he felt the urge to shatter his calmness.

However, his upbringing in manners since childhood kept him composed. He responded indifferently,

“Thank you, but I’m not interested.”

Tabitha calmed down and looked at Chadwick disapprovingly. She whispered, “Why are you polite to

him? It’s a waste to give him such a beautiful plant.”

After saying that, she ignored Malcolm’s faintly angered expression and straightforwardly said to

Chadwick, “Let’s go. In return, I’ll treat you to a

meal.”

She didn’t want to see the couple behind her at all.

The veins on Malcolm’s forehead were throbbing. He thought, ‘I haven’t even left, and Tabitha blatantly

wants to date the paramour alone?’

“Tabitha, don’t forget your current status.” Malcolm couldn’t help but say in a cold voice, “If reporters

catch you having dinner alone with another man, the company’s public relations department will have a

lot of extra work.”

Tabitha felt that Malcolm was particularly annoying today. She moved her thin lips, but Chadwick

looked at Naomi thoughtfully and spoke first. “Mr. Sinclair, don’t worry too much. Tabby is far less

famous than Mr. Sinclair. Even if she walks on the main road, others will not know that she is Mrs.

Sinclair, but they can certainly recognize Mr. Sinclair.”

He added, “Since Mr. Sinclair can rest assured to appear in public with another woman, it won’t be an

issue for Tabby to go out with another

man.”

After Chadwick finished speaking word by word, he looked at Naomi coldly and asked, “Miss, what do

you think?”

Although his clear eyes were accompanied by a gentle smile, it made Naomi feel ashamed, as if her

innermost thoughts were laid bare.

She smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Malcolm’s face grew increasingly grim. He stood in front of Naomi and looked at Chadwick coldly.

Chadwick remained calm and smiled gracefully. He suggested, “If Mr. Sinclair is really worried, why

don’t we have a meal together? Tabby is discharged today and we should celebrate it.”

His words completely wiped the smile off Naomi’s face.

Malcolm didn’t respond to him. He pursed his thin lips, and his sharp gaze stared directly at Chadwick.

Chadwick didn’t avoid Malcolm. He looked at him with a smile on his face.

The atmosphere between the two was tense. Tabitha pursed her lips and couldn’t help but break the

silence at this moment. She said, “Never mind; he’s busy. And with him around, it’ll affect our appetite.”

After saying that, she pulled Chadwick’s sleeve and left.

One of them was tall and slender, while the other was delicate. They looked surprisingly well-matched.

Malcolm felt a slight tingling in his eyes, and the restlessness in his heart was about to become

uncontrollable.

He never expected that Tabitha could change her attitude so quickly.

He wondered if her previous deep affection toward him was indeed all an

act.

“Malcolm, what do you think about Ms. Jarvis and that-” Naomi was still trying to stir up something but

was interrupted by Malcolm with a slight annoyance, “Leave them alone. Let’s go for your prenatal

check-up first.”

Thinking of Tabitha defending Chadwick wholeheartedly, he felt agitated and couldn’t suppress it.

“Okay…” Naomi replied obediently and bowed her head, but her eyes were filled with gloom.

She couldn’t believe that Malcolm’s heart was actually in turmoil because of Tabitha.

Usually, he wouldn’t talk to her in such an impatient tone.

After leaving the hospital and arriving at a restaurant, Tabitha finally calmed down and said

apologetically, “Sorry for making such an embarrassing scene.”

“There’s no need to talk about this between us.” Chadwick shook his head and looked worried. He

asked, “But… Are you doing well lately?”

He knew everything between her and Malcolm.

Tabitha felt warm and said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

She felt satisfied thinking about how Naomi was too embarrassed to say a

word at that moment.

“Thank you for defending me just now,” Tabitha said.

Chadwick nodded with a light smile, but his eyes slightly lowered, concealing the worry beneath.

After having a meal, Tabitha said goodbye to Chadwick and returned. home. She found out that

Malcolm had been away for several days.

Even without thinking, she could guess where he had gone.

Tabitha habitually went to see the tulips planted in the garden. In the past few days, she couldn’t

personally take care of them, so their growth was noticeably weak.

She had a mild pollen allergy. If it weren’t for Malcolm’s fondness for tulips, she wouldn’t have filled the

garden with these flowers and grew them so well that they blossomed beautifully even in winter.

Tabitha had only finished tidying a small flower bed when she started sneezing continuously. The tip of

her nose turned red, forcing her to leave the garden temporarily.

Her phone vibrated again. Tabitha picked it up and looked at the message, which was a long number

without any information.

She clicked on it.

The message read: [Things have made progress. Come to Four Seasons. Bar now.]

Tabitha’s heart skipped a beat.

While in the hospital, she secretly hired a private investigator to investigate Naomi. She didn’t expect

any progress so soon.

She immediately put on her coat and left by car.

At that moment, Malcolm happened to return from the other side of the

Seeing a figure flash by outside the car window, he frowned and said to his assistant in front, “Find out

where she’s going at this late hour.”

Saul made a phone call and quickly reported back, “Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair went to Four Seasons

Bar.”

Tabitha never went out so late. Today was so unusual…

Malcolm remembered the pretty boy he met in the hospital during the day, and his face was a little

gloomy. He ordered, “Ask someone to keep an eye on her.”

“Yes, Mr. Sinclair,” Saul replied.
