Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 76

“I’m sorry, Granddad. I met my father’s former creditors,” Emmanuel explained in a low voice.

Alaric’s face froze, and a deeper disgust suddenly appeared in his eyes.

“All right, I understand.” Alaric waved his hand impatiently and said, “Since Xosa is not suitable for you to stay, you don’t have to return to the headquarters after the new year. If you don’t want to go abroad, you can go to the branch office. I will arrange an idle position for you.”

“Yes.” Emmanuel’s voice was calm, but he clenched his hands under the quilt. “I will listen to you, Granddad.”

Anyway, he was just an insignificant person. It was normal for him to be driven away after making Alaric angry.

Tabitha stood aside and couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa Alaric, the truth was I wanted to go to the bar last night. Emmanuel just accompanied me there. I didn’t expect we would meet those people, and even they hurt him…”

She continued, “He got hurt to protect me. Please don’t blame him, Okay?”

Emmanuel worked very hard to get into the headquarters. If he was kicked out because of this, Tabitha would feel guilty.

Tabitha rarely pleaded in such a soft voice, and Alaric’s heart melted immediately.

“Forget it. Since you did it for Tabby, I won’t punish you this time. Stay in the headquarters.” Alaric changed his mind again.

Emmanuel raised his head in surprise, his thoughtful eyes lingered on Tabitha for a moment.

After that, he said gratefully to Alaric, “Thank you, Granddad.”

Looking at Emmanuel’s meek appearance, Alaric was even more agitated.

“Why is there no one to take care of you when you’re injured like this? Where is your mother?” Alaric inquired.

“Mother is timid. I’d better not frighten her. I can take care of myself,” Emmanuel replied in a low voice.

Tabitha found the answer a little strange.

‘However timid, is it truly so difficult for a mother to come and see her injured son in the hospital?‘ she thought.

Alaric, who had come with a scowl on his face, could not help but say with a tinge of pity, “I’ll hire two caregivers later.”

“Yes, thank you, Granddad,” Emmanuel responded.
