Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones (Tabitha Jarvis) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 

After some time, Malcolm slowly opened his eyes. He tugged his collar and was about to get up and go to the balcony to get some fresh air. 

Suddenly, the sound of running water stopped, and the bathroom door opened. 

The room was filled with warm steam. It carried the fragrance of the shower gel and made people feel slightly hot.. 

Tabitha came out wiping her hair, dressed in a dark blue nightgown. 

“I’m done. Do you want to take a shower?” she asked. 

Her voice was very light and carried a nonchalant distance. Malcolm finally sobered up. His gaze was slightly somber as he replied, “Okay.” 

Malcolm entered the bathroom. In the confined space, there was a fragrance that didn’t belong to the shower gel that permeated every corner along with the steam. 

Malcolm frowned and sped up his actions. Soon, he had finished the shower. 

Tabitha was still blow–drying her hair outside. When she saw Malcolm coming out, she paused for a moment. 

It had been over two years since their marriage, yet it was the first time she had seen Malcolm right after showering. 

His damp, blond hair half–covered his features, adding a bit of an enigmatic air to his already refined appearance. 

Tabitha looked away with a glance. She turned up the temperature on the 

hair dryer and quickly dried her hair. Then she grabbed a blanket and headed for the couch.

Malcolm could guess her intention and was amused by her actions. He patted the bed and said, “Come over here.” 

Tabitha felt her heart shrink for no reason at his words and quickly laid out the blanket. 

“I’m going to sleep on the couch tonight,” she declared. 

Malcolm’s face became slightly unpleasant. He emphasized, “Come and sleep here.” 

Tabitha was a little annoyed. She said in response, “Malcolm, I have cooperated with you to put on an act in front of Grandpa Alaric. But now that the door is closed, who are you performing for?” 

“You sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the couch,” Malcolm said. He sighed helplessly as he saw her get defensive again. 

Tabitha’s anger immediately dissipated, and she didn’t know what to say. 

She wondered, ‘Why Malcolm’s attitude toward me changed drastically after he returned from his business trip. 

When he saw her suspicious face, Malcolm smiled and said, “I won’t let a pregnant woman sleep on the couch.” 

When Tabitha heard the word “pregnant“, her gaze immediately darkened. 

She found the situation absurd. Malcolm had always insisted that her child. was illegitimate, but now he was accommodating her because of the baby. 

Tabitha suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, walked over to the bed, pulled back the covers, and snuggled into the sheets. 

She was pregnant and needed to take good care of herself; sleeping in the bed was indeed more appropriate. 

Malcolm watched her settle under the covers before turning off the lights.

His eyesight was temporarily deprived, causing his hearing and other senses to suddenly become clear and sensitive. 

The faint fragrance in the room invaded his senses, making it impossible to ignore. 

Malcolm let out a light exhale and tried to distract himself with other topics of conversation. 

“How did you know Emmanuel?” he asked Tabitha. 

Tabitha didn’t have a deep impression of Emmanuel, and she replied, “He came to visit Grandpa Alaric today and happened to help me find the mischievous Pipsqueak that was flying around.” 

She didn’t regard Emmanuel much, despite his gentle smile and friendly demeanor. 

She just subconsciously didn’t like him. 

Malcolm remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, “Emmanuel wasn’t as harmless as he appeared. You should stay away from him.” 

Tabitha felt a bit annoyed by his lecturing tone but decided not to argue with him any further. 

After all, Emmanuel wasn’t significant enough to be the subject of an argument. 

Tabitha hummed in acknowledgment and slowly turned around. 

Soon, the entire bedroom was silent. 

Malcolm was subtly stirred by the delicate fragrance that belonged to Tabitha. 

Malcolm slowly opened his eyes and glanced toward the bed, where a faint blue night light illuminated a petite silhouette.
