Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 64

Tabitha was nervous, but her face remained unchanged. “What?”

Malcolm’s eyes were indifferent, and he smiled. “Your mouth.”

He handed Tabitha a napkin.

Tabitha paused and accepted the napkin to wipe the milk stain from her mouth. “Thank you.”

Alaric saw that Tabitha had been acting strange all morning. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Tabby? Do

you feel unwell?”

Tabitha shook her head and suddenly said, “Grandpa Alaric, | want to move back to the Sinclair residence.”

Malcolm froze, and his eyes darkened slightly.

After the absurdity last night, the distance between them becuncloseable again.

Alaric suddenly becanxious. “Why do you want to move back all of a sudden? Are you not used to living

here?”

“No, | just think it’s bad to keep bothering you, Grandpa Alaric.” Tabitha shook her head. She was not used to

lying, so her eyes showed suneasiness.

“You won't disturb me.” Alaric laughed and added, “You've been here for a few days. You don’t know how happy

you makewith someone accompanyingevery day.”

“But...” Tabitha stealthily glanced at Malcolm from the corner of her eyes.

She could not stay calm while in the sroom with him now as she felt embarrassed once she saw him.

“You'd better stay in the Sinclair manor.” Malcolm suddenly said, “I need to negotiate the contract with Willow

Group. Plus, with the accumulated work at the company. | am very busy and may stay there these days. No one

can look after you at the Sinclair residence, so you should stay in the Sinclair manor.”

He knew that Tabitha might be embarrassed and did not want to see him. for the tbeing.

However, she was in poor health, and it was inconvenient for her to move around. Besides, he was truly busy

recently. It would be good if they part for a few days.

Alaric also agreed and said, “I can only feel at ease to let you go back to the Sinclair residence once you get

better.”

Hearing what they said, Tabitha could not refuse again and silently

accepted the arrangement.

Malcolm was indeed busy these days. For the contract with Willow Group, he stayed in the company for several

days.

Roy also saw the sincerity from Malcolm and finally agreed to their cooperation plan at today’s meeting.

Malcolm loosened his tie a little and was glad he finally appeased Roy.

The rest of the board members were also pleased with the meeting and re- evaluated Malcolm's capabilities.

After the meeting, Emmanuel smiled and talked with the directors, asking them out for a drink and get-together

in the evening.

The absolute heir of Sinclair Group was Malcolm, but the fact that Emmanuel successfully got transferred back to

the headquarters also proved his strength. He would definitely have a promising future.

Alaric was impartial. Anyone incapable could not work at Sinclair Group headquarters.

Therefore, the directors could not distance themselves from Emmanuel. They smiled and invited Malcolm to join

them.

Malcolm nodded calmly. “Okay.”

Although he did not like to socialize, he could not avoid some

socialization at his high status.

They followed Malcolm out of Sinclair Group headquarters and suddenly. saw a slender figure standing outside

the entrance of the company, who was glancing into the building hesitantly.

Emmanuel smiled and said, “Is this an employee of our company? Looking at how she looks and behaves, it

doesn’t seem likely.”

Malcolm quickly stopped, and the corner of his mouth curled downward slightly. He turned to the others and said,

“Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Cavill, | can’t join you guys today. If there’s another gathering, | will definitely drink. three

glasses as punishment.”

Aside from Alaric, no one in the company dared to order Malcolm around.

The directors smiled to show that it was fine.

Emmanuel walked over to Malcolm and chuckled. “Malcolm, is that lady here for you? Who is she to you?”

Malcolm glanced coldly at Emmanuel but gave no response.

“I'm a man too. | understand.” Emmanuel quickly shrugged his hands with a smile and added, “But | have to say

this. Although other women may be interesting, you should choose carefully.”

His voice was neither high nor low, but the directors standing not far away

could hear him, and they showed sambiguous expressions.

They had heard that Malcolm was married, but it turned out that he had a mistress.

Malcolm's eyes flashed with fearsiciness, and he said coldly, “Take care of yourself first.”

Emmanuel’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Malcolm walking toward Naomi, he berated himself internally.

Just now, he was startled by Malcolm.

Once she saw Malcolm finally walk over, Naomi quickly stood up straight and fixed her hair.

Malcolm was about to speak, but Naomi's eyes turned red first.

She reached out, carefully pulled Malcolm's sleeve, and whispered, “Malcolm, I... | miss you.”

Looking at her aggrieved and fearful expression, Malcolm explained indifferently, “I was on a business trip the

past few days.”

The next second, Naomi threw herself into his arms.

Malcolm stiffened and could not help but think about the sensation while holding Tabitha.

When Tabitha was in his arms, his heart would beat faster instead of being a stagnant pool like now and carried

an uncontrollable annoyance.

If it were not for a sense of duty, he probably would have rejected physical contact with Naomi too.

Malcolm pulled her away coldly and said, “Let's talk in the car.”

Although he was not afraid of rumors, he did not want to provoke Alaric

Naomi followed Malcolm into the car, looking quiet and obedient.

Maybe because the compartment space was small, Naomi felt that the pressure was a little low. She asked

cautiously, “Malcolm, it seems that many people sawjust now. Will it affect you?”

Malcolm did not respond to her question. He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, “Why did you suddenly cto
