Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

Naomi’s shoulders were trembling. She looked extremely frightened and said in a panic. “I don’t know.” 

Malcolm noticed every expression on her face. Naturally, he could see the fear in her eyes and knew that she truly did not know the real culprit. Thus, he did not ask her again and merely asked Saul to drive faster. 

At the hospital, after having a check–up, Malcolm was told that his elbow had been injured, but it was not a major issue. 

The doctor said, “There may be some swelling and pain these few days. Be careful not to exert too much force, and eat light.” 

After listening to the doctor’s advice, Malcolm walked out of the ward with a file in his hand. 

Then, Malcolm looked at Naomi who was still frightened before turning to say to Saul, “Stay outside.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Then, Saul went out and shut the door. He stood still and guarded the 

entrance. 

There were only two people left in the ward, and Malcolm’s scrutinizing eyes, with a heavy sense of pressure, fell on Naomi. 

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat because of his gaze. Then, she asked cautiously, “Malcolm, why are you looking at me like that?” 

“Naomi, you came to see Emmanuel today, didn’t you?” he asked. 

Before Naomi went to the company that day to see Emmanuel, she had already figured out an excuse. Thus, she pretended to stutter, “Malcolm, you haven’t been seeing me lately or answering my calls. I’m so upset—”

“There is no need to change the subject. Malcolm’s eyes flashed with disgust. He added coldly. “Answer me honestly. What is your relationship with Emmanuel?” 

I have nothing to do with him. It’s Tabitha who has a relationship with him,” she replied. 

Then, Naomi added in a low voice quickly. “Last time at the hospital, I saw Emmanuel deliver food to Tabitha. After that, Tabitha adjusted his collar and even acted coquettishly with him. She asked him to visit her more often. She also said she liked the food he cooked…” 

Although Malcolm knew that Naomi might be deliberately making it up, his expression was still grim. 

“I don’t want to speak ill of her behind her back, but you won’t get a divorce. I’m worried that you have fallen in love with her. So I went to see Emmanuel to talk to him. If it’s confirmed that he likes Tabitha, then—” 

“Then what?” he interrupted. 

Malcolm’s lips were completely pursed. Meanwhile, his tone was cold as he added, “Do you want to cooperate with Emmanuel to set him up with Tabitha?” 

“I don’t want to do this either.” Naomi immediately cried as she added. “But I don’t have any other option. You care too much about her now. I’m afraid you’re already in love with her.” 

Indeed, he was already in love with Tabitha. 

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her earlier, but he merely refused to admit it. 

Now that he wanted to admit it, he had no chance to talk to her anymore. 

Malcolm had no expression on his face. “Let’s not talk about it for a

moment. But you’d better understand one thing. What happened today. with the car may not have been a mere accident. 

Naomi’s hand trembled briefly. She was shocked. “What do you mean, Malcolm? Do you know who’s trying to kill me?” 

“Don’t tell me you have no idea who it was.” Malcolm stared at her. With a mocking smile, he added, “How did you and Emmanuel know each other? Do I have to repeat it? Moreover, Giuseppe has just arrived in Xosa a few days ago…” 

Naomi was stunned and forgot to pretend to cry. Then, the realization dawned on her. She thought, ‘Malcolm already knows everything! So he’s been secretly investigating me these days. What else did he find besides Emmanuel and Giuseppe?” 

“Naomi, I don’t have to expose everything. I trusted and respected you, so I didn’t want to send anyone to investigate you. But you’d better know that Emmanuel is not as capable as I am,” Malcolm said. 

Therefore, if Malcolm wanted to investigate anything, no one could hide from him. 

Naomi’s brain was working at full speed. In an instant, she covered her face and cried. 

“I didn’t mean to lie to you, Malcolm. Six months ago, Emmanuel suddenly came to me and said he could help me become your wife. When we were kidnapped back then when we were young, I fell for you at first sight. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried my best to save you. Believe me, I worked with Emmanuel just to marry you. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone…” 

Although Saul had found out about those things, Malcolm still felt endless. anger an 

disgust when he heard Naomi admit it on her own. 

‘It’s this woman who approached me with a disgusting fake attitude. She made me misunderstand Tabitha and pushed away the woman that I truly

love,‘ he mused to himself. 

“Now, I’m the only one who can save your life, Naomi. If you’re not planning to tell me the truth, I don’t have to waste any more time here. with you,” he said. 

A strong feeling of disgust appeared in Malcolm’s gaze as he turned around and wanted to walk away. 

Malcolm, you can’t leave me alone,” she said. 

Thinking of the frightening scene just now, Naomi immediately fell to the ground and grabbed the corner of his shirt. She started to cry miserably. 

“If I die, Tabitha will never know the real Emmanuel!” she exclaimed. 

Malcolm’s gaze darkened. 

‘She’s fallen for it, he thought. 

He shook off Naomi’s hand and said coldly, “If you want me to save your life, then tell me everything you have done before.” 

Naomi saw the coldness and impatience in Malcolm’s eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to hide it anymore and whispered, “Initially, I was studying abroad. Six months ago, Emmanuel suddenly came to me and directly asked if I knew you…”
