Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 84

Soon, it was the day of Emmanuel’s discharge, and Tabitha arrived at the hospital as scheduled.

Emmanuel indeed lived in a very remote location, on Greenview Road in the suburbs.

After they arrived at his residence, an exceptionally beautiful woman opened the door from the inside. She looked gentle and refined, but there seemed to be a constant hint of worry in her countenance.

A faint smile appeared on her face when she saw Emmanuel’s return. “You’re back, Manny.”

Emmanuel introduced Tabitha to Lorelai. “Mother, this is Tabitha Jarvis.”

Lorelai’s attitude became a bit more enthusiastic. “Ah, hello, Tabby. Quick, come in and have a seat.”

Emmanuel’s home was not really large and was furnished rather simply. Nonetheless, it was remarkably clean, and not a single speck of dust could be seen.

Tabitha noticed dozens of pots of green succulents arranged on the balcony, each one well cared for and thriving. She reflexively praised, “These succulents are really well taken care of.”

Lorelai smiled lightly. “I have a pollen allergy. Manny occasionally buys a pot for me, and over time, they’ve accumulated.”

Tabitha lowered her eyes, thinking, ‘Her pollen allergy is true, and so is her love for growing succulents. Looks like most of what Emmanuel said is credible.

At noon, Lorelai invited Tabitha to stay for lunch and prepared a simple table of dishes, creating a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
