Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 127

Malcolm asked in a dejected tone, “Is it because of the child? You won’t forgive me, so you want to

punishwith a divorce?”

‘How can the once high and mighty privileged scion say such humble. words? He was the one who

wanted a divorce the most. Now that I let it go, shouldn’t he accept it gladly?‘ Tabitha thought. She

turned around quickly. not wanting to see him like that.

Malcolm gently tugged at her wrist, his lips trembling. “Tabitha, | know you hatenow. How will

you forgive me?”

“] won’t, no matter what!” Tabitha’s voice was somewhat high-pitched, but her emotion returned to

calmness in a flash. “I have signed it. Please notifyonce you sign it.”

“Grandpa won’t agree,” Malcolm thought of his last card and said almost without thinking.

“Grandpa is not in good health. If he knows we're getting a divorce, he won’t be able to take it.”

When Alaric forced him to marry Tabitha back then, Malcolm resisted and resented it. Now that he

could finally get a divorce, he wanted to use Alaric as a bargaining chip.

Tabitha’s expression froze momentarily. She had no family or relatives. now. Alaric was the person

she cared about most. However, that was not a valid reason to keep her and Malcolm tied up in a

meaningless marriage.

Tabitha hardened her heart and said, “You can tell Grandpa Alaric about it yourself. I'm sure he will

understand if you explain it well.”

After saying that, Tabitha put the divorce agreement on the table aside. She then turned around

and walked out without the slightest hesitation.

Malcolm wanted to catch up to grab her hand and not let her go, but his feet seemed so heavy that

he couldn’t move.

When Tabitha walked out, she saw Emmanuel standing beside the green bamboo, waiting for her.

A faint smile appeared on Tabitha’s cold face when she thought of what to do next. “Sorry to keep

you waiting.”

“It’s fine.” Emmanuel’s gentle gaze shifted to her luggage. “What are you...”

“Malcolm and | are divorced. | am now homeless.” Tabitha looked at Emmanuel with clear eyes and said, “I think

the environment in the suburbs is good. Can you takethere to find a house?”

When Emmanuel learned that Tabitha and Malcolm were divorced, his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

“Okay.”

Emmanuel personally drove Tabitha to the suburbs while glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.

Everything Emmanuel had planned, with much effort, finally ctrue. Tabitha and Malcolm got divorced. He

smiled triumphantly, and his heart seemed to burst with joy.

‘Tabitha used to love Malcolm so much, but now she divorced him so peacefully. Does she not love him

anymore?’ Emmanuel wondered.

Emmanuel tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly as sshameful expectation suddenly arose in his

heart.

There were not many vacant houses in the suburbs. Emmanuel took Tabitha around for a while but couldn't find

a suitable rental house.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Tabitha said somewhat helplessly, “It seems. | will have to stay in a hotel for

today.”

Emmanuel suddenly said tentatively, “Actually, | have two spare guest rooms at home. If you don’t mind, you

can stay there for now.”

Tabitha’s mouth twitched slightly. She had deliberately mentioned divorce

in front of Emmanuel today and asked him to take her to find a house just to test his reaction. She hadn't

expected that he would invite her to stay in his house.

Tabitha said calmly, “How can | trouble you? I'm afraid it will disturb your mother.”

“No, it won't,” Emmanuel said quickly. “My mother is very warm-hearted. And don’t you like beetroot soup? She

makes it often.”

“In that case, I'll bother you and Mdm. Sinclair for a few days,” Tabitha said. embarrassedly. “I'll move out as

soon as | find an apartment.”

In fact, there were several suitable rental houses in the suburbs, but Emmanuel had deliberately bypassed them

earlier. He then tentatively invited Tabitha to stay at his home, but he hadn't expected that she would agree.

All of a sudden, Emmanuel’s heart thumped violently. Soon, he returned hwith Tabitha.

After she heard them explain the situation, Lorelai felt sorry for Tabitha. She immediately cleaned up a guest

room and helped her unpack her luggage with a smile.

After that, Lorelai went to buy groceries and made a meal to welcome. Tabitha.

Tabitha felt embarrassed and helped in the kitchen.

Emmanuel sat in the living room pretending to watch TV while he glanced toward the kitchen several times.

Looking at that busy, voluptuous figure and listening to their conversation in low voices, he suddenly felt that the

house seemed to fill with a warm and homely atmosphere, not as annoying as before.

An irresistible desire suddenly arose in him. Emmanuel wanted Tabitha to live there forever.

Malcolm stood in the living room for a long while before slowly bending over to pick up the divorce

agreement.

Tabitha didn’t want anything. At the signature column, her elegant handwriting was tinged with

aloofness. She probably didn’t even hesitate to sign it.

Malcolm squeezed the document tightly. Then, he slowly turned to go upstairs and pushed open

Tabitha’s room door.

It was empty, without a trace of life. All of Tabitha’s belongings had been taken away.

Malcolm opened the small door of the wardrobe, only to find a black- colored men’s suit stacked

inside.

Something suddenly flashed in Malcolm’s mind. He took out the suit and unfolded it. After

scrutinizing the style of the suit, he gradually held his

breath.

Malcolm remembered it to be the suit he had worn on his 16th birthday. That day, he had met

Tabitha, who was like a helpless little creature, and her parents.

Tabitha had squatted at the end of the hospital corridor like a small animal abandoned by the world.

Malcolm had stretched out his hand to pull her up and put the suit over her chilled body.

Malcolm hadn’t expected Tabitha to have kept it all the time.
