Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 77

Emmanuel didn’t want to mention a word about a demon like his father.

But Tabitha now seemed a little curious about him, and he didn’t mind uncovering the torments he had gone through to gain sympathy from Tabitha.

Tabitha surmised that Emmanuel might be looking for someone to talk to. “You mentioned those people were your father’s creditors? What exactly is going on?”

Emmanuel’s voice was faint, and his expression was calm as if he were telling someone else’s story.

Granddad helped Mother thany times and advised her to be tough and break up with him, but her temperament was really… In the end, Granddad was very disappointed with Mother and refused to help us anymore. My mother really couldn’t afford to pay the debt back, so John brought people to collect debts, but my father had already run away by that time.”

Emmanuel looked down at his missing pinky and said, “Then John
