Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 54

When Malcolm was away, Tabitha followed Alaric’s advice and moved back to the Sinclair manor for a while.

She spent her days accompanying Alaric to brew coffee and have a stroll in the garden.

Alaric knew Tabitha had an allergy, so there were only green plants, devoid of flowers, in the garden, offering pleasant air.

She had become much calmer and no longer consumed by anger and vengeance like when the time when she first met Naomi again.

One day, Alaric excitedly approached Tabitha with a birdcage.

“Tabby, I bought you a talking bird,” Alaric said.

Seeing Tabitha spending every day indoors for her health, he was worried. that she might feel cooped up. However, since he couldn’t get her a pet like a cat or a dog, he came up with this idea.

Tabitha reached out and took the birdcage.

The bird was adorned with feathers in faint purple and green hues, while the area behind its eyes was in a yellow shade. It has a beautiful appearance.

She asked with a smile, “Grandpa Alaric, why did you suddenly think of keeping a bird?”

“This is no ordinary bird,” Alaric said. “It’s a parrot. It can talk.”

He reached out to tease the parrot. “Hurry and greet her.”

In no time, the parrot fluttered its wings inside the cage and called out to Tabitha, “Hello, Tabby.”
