Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Early the next morning, Malcolm went downstairs to find Tabitha sitting at the dining table with an empty plate and half a glass of milk.

She was reading a book, her long eyelashes hanging down, casting a shadow under her eyelids.

The rising sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window flooded in, casting a faint layer of light on her body, as if she would melt into the warmth the

next moment.

Malcolm frowned slightly, inexplicably disliking the feeling he was having

now.

George passed by and whispered in Malcolm’s ear, “You might as well explain what happened last night. Mrs. Sinclair is good-natured. If she knows that you didn’t mean to offend her, she won’t keep holding the grudge against you.”

Malcolm stiffened slightly.

He always acted swiftly and decisively and never bowed his head to anyone, let alone humbled himself to coax women.

Tabitha stopped and turned to look at him indifferently. Her clear hazel eyes were emotionless.

“If you’re asking me the question last night, I will still give the same answer. I shoveled the flowers. Whatever you think,” she said.

Tabitha’s cold gaze silenced whatever Malcolm was about to say.

Just then, the phone rang. It was Saul.

“Mr. Malcolm Sinclair, Mr. Alaric Sinclair has come over and is waiting for you in the company,” Saul informed.

Alaric had been neglecting the company’s matters for quite some time. It might not be a good sign that he showed up early in the morning and waited for Malcolm.

Subconsciously, Malcolm felt that Tabitha had gone to Alaric again to talk about the flowers.

But thinking that he had misunderstood her, Malcolm held back his

temper.

“I’ll be right there.” Malcolm hung up the phone only to find that Tabitha was no longer around.

The feeling of being ignored overwhelmed Malcolm. Suppressing his displeasure, he hurried to the company.
