Chapter 42 Meanwhile, Sylvie spent three days recuperating in the hospital. Naomi, for one, came to keep Sylvie company almost every single day, bringing her soup and various tonics, showering her with nothing but care. Sylvie was moved. After all, a person who was sick would more likely become dependent. “Thank you for being by my side every day, Naomi.” “What are friends for?” Naomi lifted the kettle and continued, “Ah, we ran out of water. Let me go fill this up.” As she wheeled around, something fell out of her pocket and landed lightly on the edge of the bed. However, she did not seem to notice as she walked out quickly. Out of curiosity, Sylvie picked it up and found that it was actually a list of collateral damage in the clinic and the costs of drugs. ‘Is this Tabitha demanding for compensation?‘ she pondered. Her face darkened in an instant. When Naomi came back, she saw Sylvie pulling a long face. She quickly grabbed the list from Sylvie’s hands and explained nervously, “Don’t get riled up, Sylvie. I’ve already paid the compensation for you. All you need to do now is focus on your recovery-” Yet, that speech seemed to have fallen on deaf ears for Sylvie. She fumed through gritted teeth, “Tabitha made me lose my baby, and she dares make me pay for it?” As she cursed, she got out of bed and was all set to rush out the door. “Calm down, Sylvie! You’re still not in perfect health!” Naomi might be shouting anxiously, but she was leisurely moving her feet toward the exit. 175 لل NN 7 9 14:35 Chapter 42 Sylvie was quick to bolt outside, hailing herself a ride and making a beeline for Tabitha’s clinic. At that time, there were several patients in the clinic. Tabitha was reading. pulses for one of the patients. The second Sylvie got there, she barged inside and yelled, “Tabitha! You took my baby’s life, and you still have the nerve to sit there prescribing drugs for your patients? Are you not afraid of people dying at your hands?” At that very juncture, Sylvie was dressed in a hospital gown. Her visage was pale and her hair was disheveled. She looked somewhat weak, but her eyes. were shining with resentment, which stirred up an eerie uneasiness in one’s heart. Several patients got frightened and scurried away because of that. A pucker creased Tabitha’s forehead. She voiced out calmly to Judith, “Call the police.” Judith got all confused. “Huh? Call the police?” Sylvie walked to the entrance of the clinic with some kind of crazed intention in her eyes, stuck her hands on her waist, and chided, “Gather up, peeps! Listen, the medicine prescribed by this clinic has poisoned my baby to death. Yet, Tabitha thinks she has someone to back her up, so not only does she believe she’s not at fault at all, but she’s even calling the police to arrest me.” The onlookers began to whisper among themselves. “Did she just say she’s lost her baby? Why is this clinic still running? Are they trying to put all our lives on the line?” “I guess we won’t be coming here anymore to get medicine.” “This is scary as hell! I just had my pulse read in there. Luckily, I haven’t 2/5 & M Chapter 42 collected my prescription…” I NN Observing the reactions coming from those passersby, Sylvie felt uplifted. “You guys be the judge. I’m the victim here and yet she’s reporting me to the police, trying to frame me. This is plain ridiculous.” Standing at the door of the clinic was Tabitha, straightening her back and pronouncing, “You’re well aware how you lost your child. Running your mouth and spreading one more rumor and I’ll sue you for defamation.” Judith, for one, was not as well educated as Tabitha. Parting her lips, she scolded, “Shame on you to be a homewrecker. After having been beaten to a pulp by the legal wife, you tried to pin the blame for losing your own baby on someone else. What you’re doing is nothing less than playing the victim!” The crowd looked at Sylvie strangely when they heard that there was more to that than met the eyes. Going through the roof, Sylvie went berserk, howling and lunging at Judith, scratching her in the face. Sylvie’s countenance contorted wildly, and Judith was so taken aback that she forgot to dodge the incoming attack. In a nick of time, Tabitha grabbed Sylvie’s wrist and blurted out coldly, “Sylvie, what was the reason you came to my clinic the other day? How did the legal wife know of it and come at you? You might as well think about it.” Her gaze was grim and icy. Sylvie seemed to be stunned as though she was put under some spell. The details of that day flashed through her mind. subconsciously. She recalled that it was Naomi who suggested taking her to the clinic. Before she could figure everything out, Naomi’s voice suddenly rang out. “Are you okay, Sylvie?

She even promised to be his perfect wife.A promise was always a promise. On the night of their second anniversary, Malcolm told Tabitha that he wanted a divorce.

M NNS 烹位 14:35 It seemed that Colette truly loved Chadwick. However, Chadwick did not seem to catch on to Colette’s feelings for him. However, in just a few seconds, countless ideas popped into Tabitha’s head. She piped up with a smile, “A good girl like you, Ms. Ingram, must be coveted by men from all walks of life.” “Nah…” Colette seemed a little embarrassed. “I’m so preoccupied with work that I don’t even have time to make new friends. Chadwick’s one of the closest male friends I have.” As Colette spoke, she stealthily looked at Chadwick, only to see him hanging his head low without any kind of reaction. She could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. Still, she was there for business, so she would not tap into her emotions. and put them on full display. Quick as a wink, she put herself together and recited some of the history of that investigator. “His name is Trevor Quimby, a renowned figure in the industry. The amount of the assignments he received could even pile up until next year. That said, I can help you cut in line,” she introduced. Tabitha repeatedly expressed her gratitude. After the matter was settled, the trio chatted for a while more. When Colette glanced at Tabitha’s wrist, she asked in surprise, “Is that “Lone Star’s Tear‘ you’re wearing?” After that had been said, Chadwick unwittingly pinned his gaze on Tabitha’s wrist for a couple of seconds. “This bracelet looks more gorgeous than when it’s in the picture.” Colette sounded a tad regretful as she added, “It’s a pity that I was on a business. 1/5 UPPD Chapter 41 M N 97% 14:35 trip that day and could not be there in person.” Tabitha’s heart thumped hard for a second. She thought of the bidder number 17 who had pitted against Malcolm at the auction. Colette quickly continued, “Otherwise, no matter how much it costs, I’d have gone all out to get my hands on this.” Her eyes were fixated on the bracelet, and Tabitha understood what Colette was implying. Tabitha smiled, took off the bracelet, and stuffed it in Colette’s palm. “Since you fancy it, this bracelet is all yours,” pronounced Tabitha. Colette hurriedly refused, “Don’t get me wrong, Ms. Jarvis. I simply think. the bracelet is beautiful, thus the words of admiration-” “You know what I think? I think this bracelet is quite ordinary.” Tabitha had always been sensible. She could tell that Colette was embarrassed, so she flashed a gentle smile. “Besides, I’m a doctor. Wearing jewelry like this is only going to get in my way. More often than not, they’d be sitting in the jewelry box.” Despite dropping that speech, she sensed a moment of reluctance in her heart. Even so, when she thought that Colette might really be able to seek justice for her parents, she began to think less of that mere bracelet. To her, it would not hurt to gift it to Colette. Colette genuinely adored “Lone Star’s Tear” so much, coupled with Tabitha’s facade showing she did not like it all that much, so Colette accepted the bracelet. “Okay, you have my thanks, Ms. Jarvis. I’ll wire you the money in a few days.” “Oh, no, you don’t have to. Consider this my paying you back for your 97 14:35 Chapter 41 help,” came Tabitha’s utterance. As long as she could get Naomi convicted, she thought it would be worth it no matter the cost. “That won’t do!” Colette’s grin grew all the more sincere. “These are separate matters. This bracelet is far too valuable. I’ll have to pay you. What’s your account number?” Seeing Colette’s insistence, Tabitha was left with no choice but to leave her account number. Deep down, she planned to transfer the money back to Malcolm after she received it. Both women had their attention on the bracelet, and neither of them noticed that Chadwick’s grip on the cup of coffee tightened slightly as he beheld Tabitha with pity. Colette saved Tabitha’s account number, admiring the bracelet before turning to Chadwick. “Will you put the bracelet on for me, Chadwick?” Chadwick stole a gander at Tabitha imperceptibly and bobbed his head. “Mm.” After putting on the bracelet, Colette looked around it happily and then took Tabitha by the hand and said, “You’re so straightforward, Ms. Jarvis. I like you very much. Can we be friends? From now on, I’ll be calling you Tabby just like Chadwick!” Tabitha guffawed at that. “Sure thing.” As soon as they were finished talking, Colette’s phone rang. After answering the call, she apologized, “Tabby, Chadwick, I have an urgent case to deal with at the firm. I’ve got to go now.” Watching Colette leave the place, Tabitha and Chadwick also walked out of the café together.

Chapter 40 Naomi began to shed tears again, walked over to Sylvie, and put her arm around her shoulder. “Sylvie, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry.” Sylvie’s face was pale, but her expression was fierce and grim. She said, “Don’t blame yourself, Naomi. Tabitha is too vicious. I shouldn’t have coveted that insignificant amount of money of hers.” Seeing the two’s performance, Malcolm pursed his lips as he thought of Naomi’s schemes the last two times. When Chadwick heard something was happening at the clinic, he quickly called Tabitha and asked about it. Tabitha plainly explained the situation and assured him not to worry. Hearing that Tabitha was fine, Chadwick felt relieved and said, “Colette has returned to Xosa. When are you free? I’ll make an appointment for you. two to meet.” Tabitha felt grateful to Chadwick for treating her seriously and hurriedly replied, “I’m available at any time.” Colette was a person of action. After hearing about Tabitha, Colette asked to meet her in a quiet café that afternoon. Tabitha finally met the lawyer. She was tall, with short hair, and wore diamond earrings. She looked neat and charismatic with a hint of grace. The first impression Tabitha had of her was that she was merely a beautiful girl. Chadwick introduced them separately, and Colette went straight to the point, asking Tabitha to explain the matter in as much detail as possible. PPD Chapter 40 Z ANN YN on 14:34 After she finished listening, Colette frowned slightly and said. “This is an eight–year–old case. Those involved have turned themselves in and were sentenced.” She shook her head and said, “I’m afraid it will be very difficult to get Naomi convicted.” She described it as difficult, which meant this would be a tricky case. However, Tabitha refused to give up. She said, “As for the gangster named Cornelius, he has already confessed. to me what happened that night. They didn’t steal Naomi’s phone. They only broke my dad’s phone. He also promised me that he would confess the details in court.” However, Cornelius later backed out and changed his testimony, insisting he destroyed Naomi’s and Raphael’s phones, which allowed Naomi to escape. Colette pondered for a moment and said, “Unless we find another witness. to prove that Naomi’s phone was intact at the time. Otherwise, legally, there’s nothing we can do about her.” Tabitha’s eyes darkened. She had been inspecting the case for years and even looked for an investigator but found no clues. All the people involved disappeared without a trace. Seeing Tabitha’s low spirit, Colette felt sympathetic for her. Tabitha suddenly lost her parents, but the ruthless culprit got away with it. The people who surrendered were merely scapegoats who were hired with money. Putting herself in Tabitha’s shoes, Colette felt upset for her. Chapter 40 She patted Tabitha on the back of her hand and said, “Don’t be upset. I know an investigator. He’s righteous, brilliant, and absolutely reliable. I’ll introduce him to you later.” “Don’t worry. No one can escape the web of justice. No evil person can get away with their crimes forever,” Colette reassured. Tabitha pulled herself together and looked at Colette gratefully. “Thank you, Ms. Ingram.” “You’re welcome.” Colette winked with a smile and added, “Chadwick’s friend is my friend. I’ve heard you healed Chadwick’s eyes. You are a good person, so your kindness will be repaid.” Tabitha was slightly stunned and turned to look at Chadwick. Chadwick also nodded in agreement. “Yes. You’re so kind, and fortune favors the kind–hearted.” Colette smiled more brightly. “I once handled a case for the director of an orphanage, and Chadwick coordinated with me.” Gradually, they became familiar with each other. Tabitha immediately understood what Colette meant. ‘Seems like she and Chadwick… Tabitha pondered. Colette was a lovely girl. If they could end up together, Tabitha would be happy for them. Chadwick smiled and added to Colette’s comments, “Colette’s thinking skills are top–notch, and she’s amiable, so it’s easy to be friends with her.” ‘Amiable?‘ Tabitha wondered.

Chapter 39 NN N 97 14:34 Malcolm was slightly relieved to see Tabitha standing aside with an expressionless face as soon as he arrived. Naomi threw herself into his arms and cried, “Malcolm, Sylvie’s baby is gone. It’s all my fault. I did this to her…” Tabitha glanced at them indifferently before turning her eyes away. There seemed to be no change in her expression. Malcolm withdrew his gaze and comforted Naomi, “It’s okay now. Try to stay away from situations like this in the future.” “I have a problem!” Aggrieved, Sylvie suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Sinclair, I have something to say to you.” Malcolm frowned. He did not like Sylvie very much, but he knew she had a miscarriage and thought it was unsuitable to treat her coldly. Sylvie glared at Tabitha resentfully and said, “Mr. Sinclair, it was Tabitha who asked me to do what I did at Four Seasons Bar.” “What did you say?” Malcolm’s eyes turned icy. “Speak your truth, but if I find out you lied…” His eyes were freezing without a hint of warmth. Sylvie’s words were stuck in her throat, and she dared not say anything more. What Naomi wanted was for Sylvie to go against Tabitha, and she quickly said, “Malcolm, Sylvie just lost her baby and is very sad about it. Tabitha certainly didn’t mean it. Let’s go out and let Sylvie rest.” Tabitha already understood what kind of act Naomi was going for and scoffed inwardly, thinking, ‘Let’s see if Malcolm believes such a clumsy lie.’ Sylvie gathered up her courage, which initially dissipated. Now that she Chapter 39 lost her child, the glory and wealth she had hoped for were also gone. “This is all Tabitha’s fault!‘ she thought. 97% 14:34 At this point, Sylvie harbored immense hatred toward Tabitha. She clenched her jaw and said, “Mr. Sinclair, Tabitha gave me an amount of money and purposefully let me hire someone to hurt her. She was trying to hurt herself to make you pity her.” Malcolm immediately looked at Tabitha but detected no emotion on her calm face. He questioned Sylvie coldly, “Why did you expose her now?” “Because she burnt bridges! She hated mistresses like us, so she used Beatrice against me. She’s so vicious that she killed my child! I will never forgive her!” she said. Tabitha snickered and said, “It seems like you know you’re a mistress. You’re quite self–aware.” Naomi glared at her angrily and spoke. “Ms. Jarvis! Look at how miserable Sylvie is! Just stop provoking her-” “I’m just telling the truth. Aren’t I praising her for being self–aware? How did I provoke her?” Tabitha retorted calmly, “Besides, she claimed to be a mistress first. What’s wrong with me repeating her words?” Naomi had experienced Tabitha’s sharp tongue at the swimming pool once, and her expression became twisted instantly. She took a deep breath and changed the subject tensely, “Also, I was celebrating my friend’s birthday that day. You came over and insulted us for no reason. I thought you just didn’t like me, but it turns out…” Tabitha looked up and coldly met Malcolm’s inquiring eyes. She wanted to see Malcolm’s decision. 2/4 Chapter 19 NN 97% 14:34 After two misunderstandings about Tabitha, Malcolm did not believe Sylvie immediately. Instead, he asked, “Tabitha, do you have anything to explain?” “Explain? I’m the victim of the incident in that nightclub, and Malcolm wants me to explain it to him?‘ Tabitha thought. She straightened her delicate back and replied with a question, “Malcolm, are you suspecting me again?” “You’ve never gone to places like nightclubs in the past,” he answered. This was an expected reaction, and Tabitha thought she would be heartbroken but realized she was far too numb to feel anything by now. This was her status in Malcolm’s heart. Even a lie made up by someone random could instantly make him suspect her. She lowered her gaze, concealing the self–deprecation in her eyes. Her voice was soft but filled with coldness. She said. “There is surveillance footage of the clinic. I will bring it to the police. It will be clear at a glance as to who caused trouble. Also, I will list the losses the clinic suffered today.

Of course, she knew Pierre had a legal wife who was incredibly fierce, so Sylvie was always careful. ‘How did I get caught today?‘ she thought. Before she could come up with a defense, the woman had already rushed up and clutched the necklace around Sylvie’s neck. “I was the one who chose this style, but that old fart dared to gift it to you. This bag and earrings, too! They’re all the stuff I don’t use and keep at home. You shameless bitch! Did you rush to pick up the trash I don’t want? All of you, come over and tear off the things that belong to me!” she shouted. The bodyguard swarmed over and showed no mercy to the woman. The necklace was roughly torn off, causing sharp pain in Sylvie’s neck. Then, her earrings were suddenly snatched off, blood gushing out immediately. Her howls almost overturned the clinic. The patients coming in for treatment and prescriptions ran away in horror, hiding within the crowd outside as the people discussed and gossiped. With those piercing gazes on Sylvie, she instantly lost her mind. She hissed viciously, “You old hag! What’s so amazing about coming to me and acting all high and mighty on me if you can’t even keep an eye on your man?” These words completely angered the woman.

Naomi’s face turned slightly pale. She did not expect the legal wife to be so fierce. She spoke a few words, pretending to stop the fight, and then hid far away. Tabitha watched the nonsensical scene coldly. She did not favor homewreckers at all and thought Sylvie deserved this. ‘No wonder she hangs out with Naomi. Birds of the same feather flock together. She scoffed inwardly. Sylvie wailed miserably from the beating. With the addition of the legal wife’s cursing, the clinic was plunged into chaos. Suddenly, Sylvie clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground. She let out an anguished groan and complained, “My stomach hurts…” Blood slowly gushed out from her lower half. Everyone’s faces changed immediately. The bodyguards stopped at once. and distanced themselves from her. Just then, a siren roared.

Chapter 37 Tabitha looked up, and her eyes glinted with coldness when she saw Naomi. Sylvie immediately whispered in Naomi’s ear, “Tch, even the look in her eyes resembles Mr. Sinclair’s after living with him for a while.” Naomi also glanced at Tabitha. She wore a white coat and mask, revealing only a pair of hazel eyes, but she was already beautiful enough that people could not take their eyes off her. Naomi subtly clenched her jaw as jealousy and resentment surged in her heart. Tabitha did not know Sylvie, so she felt nothing. She casually said, “Please come here and sit down.” Sylvie stood still and said, “I recently got pregnant and need some anti- abortifacient pills. You better be careful and not give me the wrong prescription. If anything happens to the baby, your clinic will be held responsible!” Tabitha asked her to sit down again. Sylvie immediately said in disgust, “That stool looks dirty. Are there any germs? Will they be contagious?” The voice was loud enough for several other patients in the clinic to cast strange looks over. Tabitha knew Sylvia was trying to start a fight on purpose, so she said indifferently, “If you’re worried, you can go to another clinic.” Sylvie reluctantly sat at the stool before saying, “Quickly get to it, then. I’m 9 14:33 Chapter 37 in a hurry.” Tabitha always held a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges. She would not mix her personal affairs with work. In the end, she calmly. checked Sylvic’s pulse. Sylvie looked at her suspiciously. “The traditional medicine practitioners. I’ve met are all of old age. You’re so young. Do you really know how to do this?” she asked. Tabitha glanced at her calmly and informed, “Your pregnancy is unstable. It’s better not to do strenuous exercise within these two months.” Sylvie’s face changed. She thought Tabitha was being deliberate and spat disdainfully, “What nonsense are you talking about? Is this what you usually do? Exaggerating the symptoms so you can prescribe a more. expensive medicine?” “Ms. Zimmerman,” Tabitha interrupted her in a low voice. “Everything you just said can be used by me as evidence to sue you for defamation.” Sylvie, who had just been released from the detention center, was extremely sensitive to the word “police.” She immediately slammed the table and stood up. “What are you being cocky for? It’s only a few unpleasant words, and that’s enough for you to threaten me?” she asked irritably. The other colleagues quickly gathered around after hearing the noise, afraid Tabitha was hurt by them. “Let’s find out whether that was a threat or upholding my right after the police arrive.” She spoke.

She did not expect Tabitha, who looked quiet. and timid, to be so swift and decisive. She saw Malcolm in every gesture and word of hers. Naomi’s face stiffened. She pulled Sylvie and whispered, “Let it go, Sylvie. Tabitha is still Ms. Jarvis and has a large number of subordinates. You just got out of that place. If the police really came-” “I’m not afraid of her!” She was now pregnant and was spoiled rotten by Pierre. With someone backing her, Sylvie was fearless in facing Tabitha. Sylvie angrily pointed at Tabitha’s nose and said, “Call your boss here.

Chapter 36 Malcolm met Naomi at the age of 14. They were tied up in a room and did not know each other. Despite everything, she still saved him. In the end, Malcolm sighed and instructed Saul to take Darius and Sylvie to the police station. When she heard that he still insisted on taking them to the police station, Sylvie immediately shouted hysterically, “Mr. Sinclair, please spare me for Naomi’s sake!” Naomi was afraid that Sylvie would expose her if the latter got anxious, but at the same time, she wanted to act as if she was Sylvie’s best friend in front of Malcolm. She tugged at Malcolm’s shirt and whispered, “Malcolm, Sylvie acted foolishly for once. Why don’t we just let it go this time? I won’t let her make the same mistake again…” Malcolm pulled back the corner of his shirt little by little and said in a cold voice, “One should be punished for their mistakes.” With that, Saul summoned the people outside to drag the two people out. Although the wrongdoers should be punished, Darius was eventually sentenced to three months in detention as he did not cause any physical harm. Meanwhile, Sylvie was only locked up for five days and given a fine of 400 dollars. Five days later, when she was released from the detention center, Naomi was already there to pick her up. With a contorted expression, Sylvie shouted, “It’s not a place for human beings to stay.

It was barely perceptible, so she still gently coaxed Sylvie, “I know you did it for my sake. Can I treat you to a meal to make it up to you?” “How could a meal be enough?” Sylvie asked. “Let’s go shopping, then. We’ll shop for the whole day, okay?” Naomi said. Sylvie replied, “That’s more like it.” That day, they went to several luxury goods stores. Sylvie bought a lot of luxury goods, and the bag in her hand alone was worth over 4,000 dollars. Since Naomi had to spend so much money, she hated Sylvie very much. However, the former still had to smile and ask, “Have you stopped being angry, Sylvic?” “Barely,” Sylvie replied as she feigned innocence after taking advantage of Naomi. After shopping, they went to a high–end restaurant to have a meal. Sylvie ordered several sour–tasting dishes to eat. When she saw Naomi’s surprise, Sylvie smugly told the latter, “I’m pregnant. Let me tell you, Mr. Weiss has promised to get a divorce and marry me as long as I can give him a son.” Naomi was disdainful, but she still smiled and congratulated Sylvie. Sylvie went on, “Naomi, you have to work harder. Mr. Sinclair lives under the same roof as Tabitha. As Tabitha pretends to be frail and delicate every day, there’s a chance that Mr. Sinclair will feel sorry for her.” Naomi understood what she said and also felt anxious. At that moment, Malcolm called her all of a sudden. NN 14:33 Chapter 36 “What are you doing, Naomi?” he asked. His voice was still melodious, but it had a strange gloominess in it. Naomi was shocked and subconsciously placed her hand on the phone before looking around. “I’m having a meal outside, Malcolm,” she replied. Malcolm continued talking. He said he was concerned about her and reminded her of a few things. However, Naomi always felt that he was testing her. Naomi was already flustered when she hung up the call. She kept suspecting that Malcolm had instructed someone to keep an eye on her. When she saw the panic on Naomi’s face, Sylvie asked in a low voice, “Was it Mr. Sinclair?” Naomi nodded nervously. Sylvie advised, “You should be more proactive. Why do you swallow your frustrations when you already have Mr. Sinclair’s baby? Look at me. Mr. Weiss treats me so gently…” She continued, “You have to figure out a way to completely stop Tabitha from getting back up!” Looking at Sylvie’s happy face and the pile of expensive luxury goods next. to her, Naomi’s gaze darkened and became strange. … Read More “Chasing His Runaway Wife Novel – Chapter 36” »
Chapter 35 Saul took Malcolm to a restaurant called Abundance Resto which was located in a secluded area. There were bodyguards outside their private room. The half–kneeling man inside the room was the middle–aged man who harassed Tabitha in the nightclub that day. His name was Darius Coudert, and he looked like a normal person when he was not drunk. However, he was currently squatting in the corner. It was obvious that he had just been interrogated by Saul. Malcolm glanced at him and sat down on the couch. Darius noticed that Malcolm had tanned skin. Even though the latter’s eyes were half–closed, he looked contemptuous. In the dim light, there was a terrifying air of intimidation about him. Darius shuddered when he saw that man. He realized that he might get into huge trouble this time, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, “Sir-” Saul walked a few steps forward and said coldly, “Did I tell you to get close?” Darius‘ legs gave away and he fell on his knees. “Please spare my life, sir. I only served others in exchange for money. Please spare me this once. I won’t dare to do it again!” he begged. Darius quickly revealed everything before any interrogation. A woman named Sylvie met him and gave him 10,000 dollars to teach Tabitha a lesson. As long as Tabitha had a miscarriage, she would give him another 20,000 dollars when it was done. 1/5 MPPD Chapter 35 WW 90% 14:32 After hearing his explanation, Malcolm had no emotion on his face. However, his brows were tightly knit. ‘What kind of trouble has Tabitha gotten herself into to the point where someone wants to kill her child?‘ he wondered. The sudden drop in air pressure in the private room made Saul realize that Malcolm was very angry. He instructed Darius to call Sylvie. “Tell her to come here right away by any means necessary.” That frightened Darius so much that he obeyed. He quickly dialed a number. Though his voice slightly trembled, he still pretended to be fierce as usual when he said, “Come to Abundance Resto right away. Bring the money, or don’t blame me for betraying and exposing you.” Soon, Sylvie arrived. She was dressed provocatively. With an impatient voice, she said, “Darius, how dare you ask for money when you didn’t even do your job right? You…” Suddenly, she stopped talking. Sylvie noticed that there was someone else in the private room. The man who sat on the couch exuded a cold and elegant aura. It was Malcolm. Sylvie’s expression changed greatly, and her air of arrogance suddenly disappeared. She asked carefully, “Mr. Sinclair? Why are you here?” Malcolm sat still and said in a cold voice, “Explain yourself.” Meanwhile, Sylvie looked at Darius who did not dare to say a word. She 2/5 Chapter 35 panicked. After weighing her options, she did not dare to beat around the bush anymore and said in a trembling voice, “Can you spare me this time, Mr. Sinclair? I didn’t mean to hurt Tabitha… Besides, she’s fine now. I promise to stay away from her in the future.” Malcolm listened to her confession impatiently. “Call the police and ask them to take care of this matter and deal her the heaviest punishment.” Saul respectfully hummed in reply. Sylvie was so scared out of her wits that she shouted, “I did all this for Naomi, Mr. Sinclair–she and I are best friends! For her sake, please forgive me this once!” Malcolm slowly looked down at her. At this moment, the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down her spine. “Does this have anything to do with Naomi?” he asked. Sylvie only wanted to protect herself this time and thought that Malcolm would at least show some mercy for Naomi’s sake. She cried and said, “I have no grudge against Tabitha, Mr. Sinclair. Why would I hurt her? I’m doing this for Naomi…” Malcolm suppressed the anger that appeared briefly in his heart. Then, he took out his phone and called Naomi. “I’m in Abundance Resto. Come here,” he said. Naomi was applying a facial mask at home when she got the call from Malcolm. Delighted, she dressed up meticulously and hurried to where he was. People were waiting outside the restaurant. As soon as they saw her, they escorted her directly into the private room. Chapters As soon as Naomi walked into the private room, she saw Darius kneeling on the ground and Sylvie being frightened at the side. Her heart skipped a beat. ‘Did Malcolm find out about that night? What’s wrong with Sylvie? When I gave her the money, I remember telling her not to give me up. What’s going on now?‘ she mused to herself. … Read More “Chasing His Runaway Wife Novel – Chapter 35” »
Chapter 34 ‘Does he merely want to apologize? Or is he trying to use reverse psychology to make me yield and agree to the divorce?‘ Tabitha wondered. Nevertheless, Tabitha truly liked Lone Star’s Tear, so she could not help but take out the bracelet and try it on. It was the right size. As it complemented her tanned and delicate wrists, it gave the vibe of a kind of beauty that was frail–looking. George praised sincerely, “This bracelet looks like it was made specially for you, Ms. Jarvis. It looks great on you.” Tabitha did not respond. She thought Lone Star’s Tear was a gift from Malcolm to Naomi. Meanwhile, George saw all the changes in Tabitha’s expression and took the opportunity to say, “It’s a misunderstanding with the tulips. Mr. Sinclair didn’t know that you planted those flowers, so don’t get mad at him. What’s more, at the gala yesterday, even if you’re angry at him, how could you…” Then, he added, “Well, it was so cold last night. I was shivering so much. even when I wrapped myself in a thick quilt.” Tabitha had a good temper. Knowing that George was deliberately defending Malcolm, her anger subsided a lot. Therefore, she said in a low voice, “I got it. You can go, George.” When George left, Tabitha remembered something and her eyes slightly darkened. She slightly lifted her wrist that had the bracelet on. After that, she touched the tulips that did not look like fake flowers before taking out her phone and taking a picture. & M Chapter 34 M NN 98 14:32 Meanwhile, George looked at the scene from a distance. Thinking that Tabitha had forgiven Malcolm, George smiled with relief. He planned to tell Alaric about the good news later. Tabitha did not know what George was thinking. She sent the photo directly to Naomi without adding any message. When Naomi received the photo, she was so mad that her face contorted with anger. She nearly went out of her mind and planned to go to the Sinclair residence to strangle Tabitha. However, it was just a thought. She would not dare to do it. Moreover, she did not dare to complain to Malcolm for fear that he would know about her texting Tabitha earlier in order to show off. Thus, she had no choice but to endure the frustration. Malcolm got off work on time that day and came home early. Before he walked into the living room, he smelled the aroma of familiar dishes that had been missing for such a long time. All of a sudden, his appetite increased greatly. He subconsciously walked in a hurry into the dining room. Tabitha was not around. There were dishes on the table. Although they were leftover food, they were still hot. They were all his usual favorite dishes. George was surprised to see Malcolm. “You’re back so early today, Mr. Sinclair.” He quickly removed the leftovers and instructed the kitchen housekeeper to cook some new dishes. Z DN NO Z Tex 14:32 Chapter 34 Malcolm said, “Don’t bother.” He sat down at the dining table and ate slowly. It was obvious that he did not mind that they were leftovers from when Tabitha had her dinner. However, his expression was so calm that it was difficult to tell his emotions. When George noticed that he had finished eating, the former took the initiative to report to him, “Ms. Jarvis likes the bracelet and flowers your gave her this morning. Mr. Sinclair. She wears the bracelet all the time and even took pictures of it.” Even though Malcolm merely hummed calmly in response, his gaze became warmer. Just then, Tabitha walked downstairs to get a glass of water. Seeing Malcolm come back, her eyes were still calm but not as cold as before. Neither of them spoke, but Malcolm could not help looking at Tabitha. She was dressed in pure white cotton loungewear. The loose clothes wrapped around her frail body. Moreover, she let her soft hair down, which made her look obedient. Nevertheless, her tiny face looked so pale that it gave off a sickly vibe. She walked slowly as the wound on her back was not completely healed. Recalling that Tabitha was injured at the nightclub for his sake, Malcolm could not help feeling frustrated. Then, he pulled his collar … Read More “Chasing His Runaway Wife Novel – Chapter 34” »
Chapter 33 Hearing George praising Tabitha, Malcolm’s handsome face darkened a little and his voice was slightly cold. “Tabitha has changed.” Previously, Tabitha was like a delicate lily of the valley. However, she was full of barbed thorns now, which could stab and injure him if he got closer. George disagreed. “Why did Ms. Jarvis only change after Ms. Boyle appeared? You have to think about it, Mr. Sinclair.” Malcolm fell silent at the thought of Naomi’s schemes. Meanwhile, George was very pleased to know that Malcolm had listened to his words. “Ms. Jarvis really loves you, Mr. Sinclair. You should be nice to her in the future,” he said. Malcolm thought of Tabitha’s child. With a mocking and angry look, het said, “Do you think she’s sincere toward me?” A cold glint flashed across hist evas eyes. George sighed. “Why do you think Ms. Jarvis isn’t sincere when she’s with you, Mr. Sinclair? She was badly hurt at the nightclub for you.” His words were sufficient to stop Malcolm from uttering more sarcastic remarks. “When Ms. Jarvis moved into the house after you were married, there was a vase of tulips in the living room. As she has a pollen allergy, she wanted to have the fresh flowers removed. But when she found out that you ordered them, she mistakenly thought you liked tulips. After that, she started studying how to grow tulips.” ‘So she planted all those tulips in the garden for me?‘ Malcolm wondered. M NNO 98% 14:37 Chapter 33 Then, Malcolm stared blankly out of the window at the bare garden without saying a word. “Ms. Jarvis always woke up earlier than you and personally prepared your favorite breakfast. Moreover, she waited for you at night, too. Sometimes, she didn’t go to bed because you came back late. She kept saying that you worked hard and wanted you to feel a heartwarming atmosphere when you came home…” Malcolm’s parents died early. Moreover, Alaric was always harsh to him and rarely treated him warmly. George continued to talk and told Malcolm all the insignificant trivial matters. Nevertheless, on closer inspection, everything that happened was filled with Tabitha’s discreet concern and thoughtfulness. Malcolm listened quietly and could not help feeling touched. ‘If what George said was right and Tabitha did so much discreetly for me, why would she cheat?‘ he wondered. Meanwhile, George added, “In fact, Ms. Jarvis has long noticed that you might have a lover outside… She must be upset, but she didn’t say anything and still kept the house in order and didn’t want to trouble you.” Hearing this, Malcolm straightened up slightly. A very ridiculous ideal flashed through his mind. ‘Is it because Tabitha was afraid of divorce that she used an unconventional plan? Did she want to deceive me by getting pregnant so that she could still be my wife?‘ he wondered again. Just then, Tabitha finally returned home. George greeted her kindly and Tabitha responded with a smile. M Chapter 33 M NN. 98% 14:31 Nevertheless, once she saw Malcolm in the living room, her expression. turned slightly cold and she wanted to walk past him to go upstairs. Malcolm could clearly see that Tabitha’s gaze was initially gentle. However, when she saw him, her expression turned cold. “Tabitha,” he said. He stopped her because he wanted to ask a lot of questions. Only then did he realize that he did not seem to understand Tabitha. Tabitha stood still. There was an obvious weariness to her tanned face, but her eyes were unusually cold. “What’s the matter?” she questioned. After waiting for a long time, she did not hear a reply from Malcolm. She looked up and met his darkened gaze that was filled with inexplicable. emotions. ‘Did Naomi say something to him? Does he want to quarrel with me. again?‘ she wondered. She was about to speak when Malcolm silently took out a small box. “Tabitha, I’m sorry.” His gaze was complicated, but his tone was calm. “About the ring and the tulips… I’m sorry that I misunderstood you.” She was anticipating accusations and quarrels, but they did not happen. Tabitha did not expect Malcolm to apologize to her. Thus, she stared blankly at the small box. She knew that Lone Star’s Tear was placed inside. ‘Didn’t he give this bracelet to Naomi?‘ she wondered. For a moment, Tabitha’s cold heart skipped a beat. … Read More “Chasing His Runaway Wife Novel – Chapter 33” »
