Chapter 34
‘Does he merely want to apologize? Or is he trying to use reverse psychology to make me yield and agree to the divorce?‘ Tabitha wondered.
Nevertheless, Tabitha truly liked Lone Star’s Tear, so she could not help but take out the bracelet and try it on.
It was the right size. As it complemented her tanned and delicate wrists, it gave the vibe of a kind of beauty that was frail–looking.
George praised sincerely, “This bracelet looks like it was made specially for you, Ms. Jarvis. It looks great on you.”
Tabitha did not respond. She thought Lone Star’s Tear was a gift from Malcolm to Naomi.
Meanwhile, George saw all the changes in Tabitha’s expression and took the opportunity to say, “It’s a misunderstanding with the tulips. Mr. Sinclair didn’t know that you planted those flowers, so don’t get mad at him. What’s more, at the gala yesterday, even if you’re angry at him, how could you…”
Then, he added, “Well, it was so cold last night. I was shivering so much. even when I wrapped myself in a thick quilt.”
Tabitha had a good temper. Knowing that George was deliberately defending Malcolm, her anger subsided a lot.
Therefore, she said in a low voice, “I got it. You can go, George.”
When George left, Tabitha remembered something and her eyes slightly darkened.
She slightly lifted her wrist that had the bracelet on. After that, she
touched the tulips that did not look like fake flowers before taking out her phone and taking a picture.

Meanwhile, George looked at the scene from a distance. Thinking that Tabitha had forgiven Malcolm, George smiled with relief.
He planned to tell Alaric about the good news later.
Tabitha did not know what George was thinking. She sent the photo directly to Naomi without adding any message.
When Naomi received the photo, she was so mad that her face contorted with anger. She nearly went out of her mind and planned to go to the Sinclair residence to strangle Tabitha.
However, it was just a thought. She would not dare to do it.
Moreover, she did not dare to complain to Malcolm for fear that he would know about her texting Tabitha earlier in order to show off. Thus, she had no choice but to endure the frustration.
Malcolm got off work on time that day and came home early.
Before he walked into the living room, he smelled the aroma of familiar dishes that had been missing for such a long time. All of a sudden, his appetite increased greatly.
He subconsciously walked in a hurry into the dining room. Tabitha was not around.
There were dishes on the table. Although they were leftover food, they were still hot.
They were all his usual favorite dishes.
George was surprised to see Malcolm. “You’re back so early today, Mr. Sinclair.”
He quickly removed the leftovers and instructed the kitchen housekeeper to cook some new dishes.

Malcolm said, “Don’t bother.”
He sat down at the dining table and ate slowly. It was obvious that he did not mind that they were leftovers from when Tabitha had her dinner.
However, his expression was so calm that it was difficult to tell his emotions.
When George noticed that he had finished eating, the former took the initiative to report to him, “Ms. Jarvis likes the bracelet and flowers your gave her this morning. Mr. Sinclair. She wears the bracelet all the time and even took pictures of it.”
Even though Malcolm merely hummed calmly in response, his gaze became warmer.
Just then, Tabitha walked downstairs to get a glass of water. Seeing Malcolm come back, her eyes were still calm but not as cold as before.
Neither of them spoke, but Malcolm could not help looking at Tabitha.
She was dressed in pure white cotton loungewear. The loose clothes wrapped around her frail body. Moreover, she let her soft hair down, which made her look obedient.
Nevertheless, her tiny face looked so pale that it gave off a sickly vibe.
She walked slowly as the wound on her back was not completely healed.
Recalling that Tabitha was injured at the nightclub for his sake, Malcolm could not help feeling frustrated. Then, he pulled his collar
subconsciously.
‘I need to know the truth about that night as soon as possible!‘ he exclaimed inwardly.
