Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 9

Quickly suppressing his anger, Malcolm said calmly, “I’ll visit her.”

Tabitha had not slept well for two days. She was constantly having nightmares last night. When she finally woke up, she stared at the pale ceiling in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Soon, a tall figure walked in.

Tabitha looked at Malcolm’s indifferent face and nonchalantly asked, “What are you doing here?”

Malcolm’s lips were curved up in a smirk, yet his voice was cold. “Grandpa asked me to come over to see you.”

Tabitha could not see his expression clearly, yet she could already sense the sarcasm and irony in his eyes. Suddenly, she grew weary of it.

She leaned back nonchalantly on the pillow. “Well, you’ve seen me, so why don’t you leave?”

“I need to stay here for at least half a day, or Grandpa might go on another hunger strike,” Malcolm said. “You’re really impressive, Tabitha. Why haven’t I found out that you had so many tricks up your sleeves before?”

Malcolm’s cold tone pierced through Tabitha’s heart like a sharp blade.

She had already made up her mind to give up on this relationship, yet Tabitha could not help but get teary-eyed.

Only Malcolm’s impassive face remained in her blurred vision. His ocean- blue eyes were cold, and even his tone was dripping with unconcealed disgust. “Don’t look at me so pitifully like that. I’m not Grandpa. I won’t fall for your tricks,” he said.

Tabitha felt even more fatigued. Suddenly, she started laughing at herself.

Malcolm frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
