Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 

Emmanuel stood at the entrance of his house. No longer having his coat, his back felt cold from the cold breeze, but there was an unstoppable excitement in his eyes. 

As he was about to open the door, a tiny hand grabbed him by the hem of his clothes. 

Emmanuel looked down and saw Imogen. 

The little girl lived next door to him, and her mother was often absent from home. Lorelai took pity on Imogen and sometimes invited her to eat with them after she prepared a meal. 

Imogen hugged the doll Emmanuel had traded with her for the candies the other day, her big and beautiful eyes blinking and gleaming like pure glass. 

Emmanuel suddenly understood why Tabitha adored such a little girl. 

Imogen tilted her head and asked in a sweet voice, “Emmanuel, when will you take me to the hospital again?” 

Emmanuel subconsciously calmed his hostility down and asked back in at lowered voice, “Why do you want to go there?” 

“I miss Tabby,” replied Imogen. 

There was a trace of grievance in Imogen’s bright eyes. 

The child thought Tabitha was beautiful and patient. Tabitha would hug her gently and listen to her carefully, unlike her mother, who would only punish and scold her. 

She wished Tabitha was her mother instead. 

Emmanuel darted his eyes around and bent down, asking with a smile,

“You want to see Tabby?” 

Imogen nodded obediently. 

Emmanuel thought to himself silently, “Tabitha likes children. If I take Imogen to see her, maybe she will have a better impression of me. 

He told the child, “I’ll take you there tomorrow.” 

The next day, Emmanuel took Imogen to the hospital again and happened to bump into Malcolm in the elevator. 

Malcolm immediately recognized Emmanuel with the little girl he had seen previously. He pursed his lips and remained silent, but the atmosphere around him turned a little tense. 

Imogen looked up at Malcolm and rolled her bright eyes. Suddenly, she took out a lollipop and handed it to him. She said in a clear voice, “Sir, this is for you.” 

Malcolm did not forget that incident a few days ago, so he only looked at the child coldly without taking the lollipop. 

Imogen widened her eyes and said sincerely, “Sir, I was wrong that day. Can I say sorry to you?” 

Malcolm would not hold a grudge toward a little girl, so after a while, he pursed his lips and replied, “It’s fine.” 

Imogen said again, “Sir, you have to accept the lollipop to forgive me.” 

The child looked adorable, with her eyes appearing clean and pure. She looked aggrieved as if she would cry in the next second. 

Malcolm unconsciously thought of Tabitha’s lost child. Feeling a sharp pain in his heart, he took the lollipop and said, “Don’t do that again, okay?” 

He was not good at dealing with children, always speaking in a serious

tone, like a superior educating the subordinates. Imogen seemed a little. afraid at Malcolm’s tone but nodded vigorously. 

Emmanuel, standing next to Imogen, raised his eyebrows and looked at. the child. He thought, “The little girl sure is raised well, knowing how to apologize.” 

Just when Malcolm took the lollipop, the elevator door opened. Imogen walked ahead and ran to Tabitha’s ward with familiarity. 

Emmanuel then remembered something and asked Malcolm, “By the way, what exactly happened about the fish tank that day?” 

He only asked Imogen to play a trick on Malcolm that day but did not ask the child to accuse the latter. Imogen cried so miserably at the time that he almost believed her words. 

Malcolm held the lollipop in his hand and glanced at Emmanuel 

disdainfully. He said, “Emmanuel, you should be ashamed of using a child to achieve your goals.” 

Emmanuel had been receiving such disdainful looks since childhood, so he just shrugged and replied unfazedly, “Believe it or not, I didn’t ask her to do that.” 

As they were talking, Imogen ran to Tabitha’s ward and threw herself into Tabitha’s arms, shouting between sobs, “Tabby!” 

Tabitha pulled the child up in surprise and asked with concern, “Why are you crying? Who brought you here?” 

Imogen looked back and pointed at Malcolm. She said, “That weird sir stole my lollipop and said that I accused him. He wants me to apologize to him…” 

Seeing Imogen’s tearful eyes, Tabitha felt her heart suddenly soften. Without thinking whether the child was telling the truth, she comforted

her gently. “Don’t cry. I have some candies with me. You can have all of them.” 

Ever since Tabitha met Luna, she had always brought along some candies with her as a habit. 

She quickly took out the candies and handed them to Imogen, who hugged the large bag of candies before laughing between tears. 

Tabitha poked Imogen’s nose and said, “But you shouldn’t eat too much candy, or you will get tooth decay.”
