Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

“That’s good.” Alaric seemed to be relieved. He continued, “Tabby, I’m not in good health and can’t come to see you. Malcolm, that brat, is befuddled. Don’t blame him. Give him more time, and he’ll understand who’s best sooner or later.”

After chatting for a while, Alaric’s face darkened as soon as he hung up the phone. He then called his assistant to check on Malcolm’s whereabouts.

Malcolm accompanied Naomi at the hospital for a long time, lingering until she had taken her medicine and fallen asleep.

It was evening when he got home. Malcolm took off his coat, put it aside, and leaned on the couch in exhaustion.

In the past, when he returned home, Tabitha’s cheerful figure would undoubtedly have been the first to appear, taking his coat and asking him to have dinner together.

After a few days of going back and forth to the hospital, Malcolm savored this rare moment of peace and was in a good mood.

However, when having dinner, a faint hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

He frowned, staring at the plate of pork with sauerkraut casserole on the table. He didn’t like sauerkraut and could not stand the smell.

‘This dish has never appeared on the dining table before. What’s going on today?’ he thought.

This bad mood lasted until the next morning.

The floor heating was on for too long last night, and the room was a little stuffy. Malcolm slept restlessly and was easily woken up by the heat.

He felt tired. Looking at the breakfast in front of him, his expression darkened even more.

‘Pesto bagel sandwich, pumpkin soup… Again, these are foods I don’t like to eat. How have I not realized how much of a picky eater I was before?’ thought Malcolm.

After drinking a glass of milk, he changed into sportswear and headed out.

Malcolm had a habit of going running in the morning. When he returned, his whole body was covered in sweat. After taking a hot shower, he was so taken aback by how cold it was in the bedroom that he could not react properly.

Finally, he could not help but call the butler in and ask.

George observed Malcolm’s expression carefully, appearing somewhat terrified. “Mr. Sinclair, it was Mrs. Sinclair who took charge of your meals previously. The nutritionist was just hired two days ago and is not very familiar with your preferences. As for the floor heating, I’ve asked, and it was also Mrs. Sinclair who took care of it. She used to turn it down at midnight and then reheat it when you returned from the morning run.”

George was also silently lamenting. With Tabitha around in the past, everything in the mansion was orderly, and everyone had an easy life.

But after Tabitha was hospitalized, everything suddenly lost its rhythm before descending into chaos.

When George finished speaking, Malcolm’s expression instantly darkened. It would have probably been better for George to not explain.

As it turned out, he was subconsciously used to everything that Tabitha had been quietly doing for him.

Malcolm tried to ignore the restlessness in his heart and tugged at his collar. He ordered, “Tell the rest that the floor heating should be turned off at midnight. Also, I don’t eat sauerkraut and pesto.”

Seeing George hurriedly taking notes, Malcolm felt even more annoyed.

Now, Tabitha had only been away for one day, and he was already not used to it.
