Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 118

Emmanuel couldn’t see Malcolm’s expression clearly because the latter was too far away, but he was confident that Malcolm wasn’t particularly – pleased.

An idea flashed across Emmanuel’s mind. He got up and said to Tabitha, “Imogen has gone too far away from you. Let’s check on her, shall we?”

His action of standing up happened to block Tabitha’s sight.

Tabitha nodded and followed him to search for Imogen.

Imogen squatted on the ground, counting ants, when Emmanuel, who was a few paces ahead of Tabitha, pulled her up. He spoke to her while pointing in Malcolm’s direction.

After Imogen nodded in understanding, Emmanuel gently patted the dirt off her dress, cautioning, “You’ll be scolded when you get home if you get your clothes dirty.”

Tabitha finally came over and looked at them with a big smile.

Suddenly, Imogen pointed to where Tabitha was sitting and said in a sweet voice, “Oh, the little fishes are still there. I’ll go get them.”

Then, she ran toward the bench.

Emmanuel sighed helplessly. “I initially thought it wouldn’t be as challenging to take care of a girl.”

Tabitha asked with a smile, “Why didn’t you ask your mother to take care of her?”

“My mother…” Emmanuel lowered his eyes and seemed a little awkward. “She doesn’t like children very much,” he explained.

Tabitha frowned slightly but pressed on the matter further.

By this time, Malcolm had reached the bench. Emmanuel noticed
