Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 71

But eventually, Malcolm didn’t ask the question. He simply took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Hot water dripped from the top of his hair and flowed down, enveloping him in warmth. His face, however, retained a layer of iciness.

When Malcolm finished washing, he found that Tabitha had fallen asleep, and there was a notification on his phone that someone had transferred money to his account.

For a moment, Malcolm’s mood plummeted.

Tabitha did not sleep well that night because her mind was preoccupied. When she got up the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Emmanuel came over early in the morning with Lorelai’s handmade beetroot soup.

“My mother heard that Tabitha likes the soup. She woke up early today, so she took the time to make another pot,” Emmanuel said.

Alaric was pleased, and Tabitha kept thanking him.

Emmanuel asked the kitchen to bring out bowls and personally filled

them for Tabitha and Alaric.

Malcolm was suddenly very annoyed at Emmanuel’s attentive gesture.

Emmanuel had no intention of leaving after breakfast. Malcolm couldn’t help but call out to him and ask, “Would you like to take my car to the company?”

“No need,” Emmanuel thanked Malcolm with a smile. He added, “Malcolm, did you forget that our department completed the year–end review yesterday? We don’t have to work today.”
