Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her moist eyes were not sparkling as they used to. She looked exceptionally like a weak little kitten.

Alaric’s anger rose again. “Tabby, I know all about it. How dare that scum keep a woman outside? He angered you so much that you bled during pregnancy!”

He forcefully suppressed his anger, but toward the end of his sentence, Alaric still could not help but raise his voice.

Tabitha’s gaze froze, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest that almost made her unable to breathe.

Her lips moved, and she subconsciously blurted out the words to defend Malcolm. “Don’t be angry, Grandpa Alaric. Malcolm didn’t know I was pregnant. It was an accident…”

Alaric was a stern man. He would reprimand Malcolm ruthlessly without showing any favor.

Hearing that, he was both anxious and distressed. “Tabby, you’re so silly. Do you think I don’t know the situation between you and Malcolm?”

After the marriage, the two had treated each other with indifference. However, Tabitha was afraid that Alaric would scold Malcolm, so she had always only mentioned the good things and would speak up for Malcolm in front of Alaric.

Alaric said, “Usually, you’d defend him, and I’d turn a blind eye. Now, he even brazenly brought the other woman back. Why are you so foolish? How could you still speak up for him?”

George had told him everything that happened.

She liked Malcolm and, in the past, relying on Alaric’s affection toward her, she forced Malcolm to marry her. In fact, Tabitha felt somewhat guilty about doing that.

Tabitha had never forgotten her promise at the time of their marriage.

She was even prepared early on that if one day Malcolm did find someone he liked, she would be willing to bow out.

However, she could not fathom why the person he liked happened to be Naomi.

Naomi was the one who ruined her family and caused the death of her parents!

Alaric had a weak heart, and Tabitha hesitated, choosing not to mention the matter related to Naomi. “Grandpa Alaric, I…”

Alaric shook his head and interrupted her, “Tabby, you don’t have to help him explain anymore. I will ask that asshole to come over and apologize to you now!”

In another VIP ward, Malcolm hung up the phone with a grimace.

Alaric’s voice was so loud that Naomi could hear it clearly from the side. A gloomy look filled her gaze.

She thought, ‘Malcolm is already in charge of Sinclair Group. Who does that old man think he is to be giving instructions and interfering so much?’

Malcolm frowned and rubbed his temples, “Grandpa has a bad temper. Don’t take it to heart.”

Naomi pondered the meaning of his words, lowered her eyes, and forced a weak smile. “Malcolm, why don’t you go check on Ms. Jarvis first? I’ll be fine.”
