Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 65

Naomi answered, “I haven't seen you for a long time, so | want to see how you are doing... 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 hand went back a few days earlier.” She was afraid

that Malcolm would ask more questions, so she quickly talked about other things. “Malcolm, | 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 stago 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 ssympathy 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, | can’t let her know.”

“I see.” Naomi nodded understandingly, and at the stime, 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, | can’t give you a

legal title for now.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as | 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 | will take responsibility.” Malcolm's voice beccolder 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 | was

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

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 cup

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 sflowers 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 cover, he heard Tabitha say, “We can plant sspecies 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.
