Chapter 141
Such a slim and weak figure of Tabitha stood straight as if nothing could crush her over, even the heaviest snow.
She looked calm, gentle, and delicate.
At that moment, Emmanuel, who never dared to face his inner world, seemed to escape from a dark and endless hell instantly as he suddenly realized that he had fallen in love with Tabitha.
He could not believe he could meet someone he liked in his life!
Just then, a siren roared.
The police then took Jayden away. Before getting into the police car, he still cursed, claimed that he had been beaten by his biological son, and asked the police to give him justice.
But Jayden was a wanted criminal, so the police ignored him and quickly shoved him into the car and asked him to behave.
After a while, when everything regained silence, Emmanuel’s heart, which had been beating violently, gradually calmed down.
He asked in a hoarse voice, “Tabitha, didn’t you go home? Why are you
here?”
Tabitha had already come up with an excuse. She looked at him calmly, and her clear eyes looked so attractive. “I have something to confirm with you,” she replied.
Emmanuel’s eyes moved slightly as he asked, “What is it?”
“When I was hit by the car today, I felt as if it had hit me on purpose. The police identified that the driver was drunk, but when you came to see me in the hospital, I felt like you had something to say.” She paused, raised her

eyes, and looked at him seriously, continuing, “Emmanuel, do you know anything? Is there someone trying to kill me?”
Upon hearing that, Emmanuel’s mind buzzed.
Of course, he would not expose Naomi. He quickly showed a warm smile and said, “You got it wrong. I just felt a little surprised and worried about
you.”
Tabitha had been staring at him.
It was a bit risky for her to come to Emmanuel to sound him out. But she had already planned it out. In her opinion, although the excuse she made seemed clumsy, with Emmanuel’s shrewdness, he would have found more excuses if he had noticed it.
But to her surprise, he did not notice that she was sounding him out, which only meant that Emmanuel had a guilty conscience.
Tabitha got the answer she wanted. So she nodded and said, “I see. Then, I’ll go first.”
“Tabitha…” Emmanuel immediately stopped her.
Tabitha looked back at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Emmanuel’s good–looking Adam’s apple bobbed, but in the end, he said. nothing because he thought it was not the best time to confess that day.
But Tabitha saw something in his hesitated expression.
Emmanuel arranged for Naomi to approach Malcolm with the ultimate goal of getting Tabitha and Malcolm divorced. Once the goal was achieved, Emmanuel immediately got rid of Naomi, indicating that he did not intend to use Naomi to do further actions on the Sinclair family.
A ridiculous and unbelievable guess flashed through Tabitha’s mind. ‘Is Emmanuel actually targeting me? Does Emmanuel like me?‘

When Tabitha thought of that, she felt a chill run down her spine. To her, it was not a good thing to be liked by someone like Emmanuel.

Because, in her opinion, Emmanuel was also one of the culprits who killed her child, and she wanted to put him in prison!
Tabitha took a gentle breath and looked at the wound on his face. She pretended to be unnatural and suggested, “How about you go into the house and apply some medicine first?”
A heavy rainstorm had just passed. Emmanuel was awful wet and dirty, which made him look particularly embarrassed.
Emmanuel’s eyes brightened slightly. He smiled and nodded quickly in agreement. “Okay.”
Tabitha followed him into the house and found the medicine kit.
Emmanuel had changed into clean clothes and asked tentatively, “Tabitha, I can’t apply it myself. Can you help me?”
Looking at the expectation in his eyes, Tabitha was more sure of her guess. She lowered her gaze and said, “Okay.”
She hated being near Emmanuel, but she was very eager to find out the truth and could only help him apply the medicine while enduring a feeling of rejection.
Tabitha dipped a cotton swab in disinfectant and wiped the wound on his face bit by bit.
Emmanuel was clearly in pain, but his eyes were fixed on Tabitha, and the hands at his side had been tightly clenched.
“Tabitha…” He was about to say something when Lorelai’s door suddenly opened.
She asked in slight fear, “Manny, it was very noisy outside just now. What

happened?”
In fact. Lorelai knew that it was Jayden who had come back to take revenge on them. He was an inhumane, cruel, and brutal man. He was sentenced to prison for ten years after being reported by Emmanuel. Hence, he would never let them go easily.
She was too frightened to come out, not even to turn on the light.
Emmanuel had grown accustomed to Lorelai’s timidity. He frowned slightly but still said in a very soft voice, “Nothing. It’s just a thief. The police have taken him away.
Only then did Lorelai let out a long breath of relief to go along with his lie.
“I was frightened. We’ve always been peaceful here. How could there be a thief? How did you get that wound on your face? How dare that thief hit someone when he’s stealing?” exclaimed Lorelai.
Although Tabitha hated Emmanuel, she was not used to Lorelai’s evasive behavior. She quickly treated the wound on Emmanuel’s face and said, “It’s getting late. I’m going back first.”
Emmanuel immediately stood up and said, “Let me give you a ride home.”
Tabitha was completely sure that Emmanuel had a crush on her. From the phone call a moment ago, she knew he would not hurt her again, so she nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tabitha observed Emmanuel’s expression and asked softly, “Emmanuel, your father… After he was sentenced to prison, were you directly sent abroad for study?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates…
Emmanuel answered, “No, I finished middle school in the country. I got good grades and was accepted by several top universities. My granddad probably saw my potential and paid me to study abroad. Later, he asked me to handle the work abroad.” He thought Tabitha was interested in his

study life, so he added in detail, “It was also this year that Granddad asked me to come back to Sinclair Group headquarters after I had almost finished dealing with the work abroad.”
Tabitha lowered her eyes slightly.
Emmanuel had been staying abroad after middle school, and they had
never met each other in the past. Thus, she thought Emmanuel could not have liked her since before.
Although Tabitha could not figure it out, she could confirm that Emmanuel liked her a little.
However…
