Tabitha subconsciously hugged him harder and said, “You know, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you.”
Malcolm was at a loss for words.
Her gaze was disoriented and tender, but there was a faint trace of hatred. in them.
She said, “I know you don’t like me. You were forced to marry me because. of Grandpa Alaric, so it’s normal for you to hate me.”
Malcolm paused and replied, “I don’t hate you.”
However, Tabitha did not seem to hear him. She still looked intoxicated and gently caressed his face.
Her warm breath fanned against Malcolm’s face, making his mouth dry.
She continued, “Originally, if you met a girl you like and told me nicely, I would’ve divorced you, and given you my blessings…”
Malcolm was stunned. He did not expect Tabitha to think so after two years of marriage.
“But…” Tabitha’s tone suddenly deepened, and Malcolm felt the touch on his cheek suddenly stop.
The next second, the soft hand slapped him fiercely.
Slap!
The slap sounded, and the burning pain on Malcolm’s face instantly wiped away any desire he had.
“But why must it be the murderer, Naomi!” Tabitha suddenly raised her voice with red eyes and made a sobbing hiss full of hatred.

Malcolm was caught off guard by the slap. His face turned red and pale. Before he could get angry, he was shocked by Tabitha’s cry.
She shouted, “You blind bastard! I will hate you all my life!”
Malcolm had seen Tabitha’s water–like calmness and gentleness, and he had also experienced Tabitha’s harsh madness.
However, he had never seen her cry like this. She cried as if she could not find her way home; she was delicate and wronged.
Suddenly, his heart softened, and all his annoyance disappeared.
Malcolm took a deep breath and coaxed her with patience and tenderness. that seemed incredible even to himself. “Yes, it’s all my fault.”
“Of course it’s your fault!” Tabitha complained with tears in her eyes. “Besides, you didn’t accept our child before. Why would you do it now?”
Malcolm looked helpless and apologized in a low voice, “It was my bad in the past.”
He could not tell the truth, so he had to take the blame.
“It’s your fault!” Tabitha was drunk and unconscious, but she could still rebuke him, and she looked a little more vigilant when she added, “You’re just acting in front of Grandpa Alaric now, aren’t you? You want to use a gentler approach so that I will agree to a divorce!”
Malcolm swore he had never thought of it that way.
She was so drunk that she could hardly speak, but she still shouted at Malcolm, “Give it up! I won’t let you and Naomi be together happily.”

Tabitha was so different from her usual self that presented him with a big surprise.
A usually gentle and indifferent woman could also become crazy sometimes under alcohol’s influence.
Malcolm sighed and tucked Tabitha in carefully. He was ready to go back to the couch to sleep, but Tabitha kicked the quilt away.
Malcolm glanced at Tabitha, confirmed that she had not done it on purpose, and covered her again.
However, Tabitha’s tolerance for alcohol was really bad. She talked in her sleep and cursed him from time to time. Besides, she was also restless and kept kicking the quilt and fidgeting.
Malcolm stayed up all night. It was not until four or five o’clock in the morning that Tabitha finally calmed down. He was so tired that he fell asleep next to her.
The sky was bright.
When Tabitha opened her eyes, she felt relaxed. She probably sweated last night and recovered from most of the cold.
She yawned and turned around to see Malcolm’s close face.
Although he looked a little tired, it did not affect his handsomeness and charm.
Tabitha thought she was hallucinating. She blinked and found that Malcolm was still by her side.
Soon, the images of last night flashed in her mind intermittently, and her face gradually stiffened.
