Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 17

Seeing that Malcolm was absent-minded, Naomi felt a bit anxious.

She wiped her tears, picked up the beautifully wrapped flowers beside her, and exclaimed in surprise, “These tulips are beautiful. Thank you.”

Malcolm replied absently, “I’m glad you like them.”

Naomi sniffed the flowers, attempting to divert Malcolm’s attention to herself. “It’s so cold out there, and you still managed to get such nice tulips. They must not be cheap, huh? Malcolm, you’re so kind to me.”

Tulips usually bloomed in spring, but the ones in Malcolm’s garden thrived all year round.

Malcolm was preoccupied and replied offhandedly, “They were from my garden.”

‘From his garden?’ Naomi frowned slightly as she mused. She

remembered what George had praised when she went to the Sinclair

residence for the first time.

“The tulip garden is incredibly beautiful. Mrs. Sinclair has done a great job taking care of them,” George complimented.

‘Aren’t they planted by Tabitha?’ she wondered.

Thinking of this, Naomi tentatively asked, “They look so good. Who planted them?”

“I don’t know,” Malcolm answered.

He did not care about the chores in the mansion.

Malcolm responded to Naomi’s query, but his mind was no longer with

her.

It was Naomi who had been crying, but Tabitha’s tearful eyes kept appearing in his mind.
