Before finding out the truth about the hotel, he could ask for a divorce without any burden. He even tried to expose Tabitha’s infidelity by amniocentesis and let her request for divorce herself.

Malcolm walked out of the study and went to work with a heavy heart.
As he was away on business for many days, a lot of papers to sign piled up at the company. Malcolm stayed busy until late at night.

These few days had been chaotic. It was only now that he had managed to forcefully calm himself down for a moment and seriously consider what to do with Naomi.
Apart from the fact that he could not keep his promise to marry her, Malcolm was also confused.
He pondered, “The manager of the Centennial Hotel recognized Tabitha as my wife, so he gave her my exclusive keycard.
‘But what about Naomi? How did she get into my room?‘
After drinking a few glasses of alcohol, Malcolm’s head was a little heavy, and he could not make sense of his complicated thoughts.
Unfortunately, he was too drunk that night. His memory seemed to be clipped off, and he could not remember the details.
All he remembered was that he was not repulsed by that feeling.

Malcolm has had enough cold air outside and tiptoed back to his bedroom. only to find the light on.
Tabitha was slumped on one side of the bed with her slippers and not under the quilt.
He felt a little strange and could not help going closer. Then, he smelled the faint fragrance of alcohol.
He frowned and asked, “Why did you drink?”
Tabitha did not respond. She was either drunk or asleep. Regardless, Malcolm had no choice but to bend over and pick her up.
