Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 128

Unfortunately, all the warmth had already cooled down after the suit had been kept for many years.

Malcolm’s eyes turned elsewhere and suddenly paused. He lowered his head and slowly picked up a

ring.

That was the ring they had given each other when they had exchanged vows at their wedding. ‘How

disappointed was she with me that she didn’t even want the ring?‘ Malcolm thought.

Tabitha really knew how to stab Malcom’s heart with a knife to make him feel more hurtful.

Malcolm stood in a daze with the ring in his hand and couldn’t come to his senses for a while.

Suddenly, he clenched the ring so tightly in his hand that its sharp edges pierced his palm.

I’m not getting a divorce! Whatever it takes, I’ll get her back. I’ve done something wrong. I will work

hard to change it and do my best to make for her, Malcolm thought.

On the other side, Tabitha became acquainted with Lorelai after living in Emmanuel’s house for two

days.

Lorelai liked to tell Tabitha about Emmanuel’s childhood, and Tabitha seemed very interested in it. So

Lorelai kept talking and showed her the photos of Emmanuel’s childhood.

Although Lorelai was a young lady of a wealthy family, her life was extremely wretched and gloomy.

and sweep things under the rug to cover up her loser life.

Never before had anyone listened to her talk about those things earnestly, smiled sweetly at her, and

echoed her, like Tabitha did.

Lorelai racked her brain to recall the only bit of normal life she had lived after getting married.

Surprisingly, she could still dig out some interesting stories.

Emmanuel sat listening aside and found it ironic. ‘My childhood was dark as hell. What’s there to say?

Doesn’t Mom feel sick and disgusted when she recalls those things? How can she even laugh?‘ he

thought.

At the same time, Emmanuel looked at Tabitha’s smile as she flipped through his childhood photo

album page by page, like silently participating in his past. His heart seemed filled to the brim with.

something, and the pain that had never seen the light of day seemed to be healed bit by bit.

Lorelai finished talking about Emmanuel’s childhood and then went on about his schooling. “Manny

was a smart child and won many awards. No matter what competition he participated in, he would at

least be in the top three.”

As Lorelai said that, she excitedly showed Tabitha the medals Emmanuel had won. There were dozens

of them, big and small.

Tabitha was somewhat surprised. ‘How could a child living in that kind of environment be so positive

and hardworking… If Emmanuel hadn’t worked with Naomi, he would have been admirable, she

thought.

Seeing Tabitha’s surprised look, Emmanuel suddenly felt the urge to pour his heart out. ‘Would Tabitha

sympathize with me if I told her all about my childhood experiences? I’ve heard that many loves begin

with sympathy, he thought.

Suddenly, Lorelai’s eyes were smiling as she talked about something.

“When Manny was in Grade 7, he participated in a singing contest and surprisingly won first place! At

that time, he came back with a big trophy… Where is it? I’ll show you.”

As Emmanuel looked at Tabitha’s expectant eyes, his charming Adam’s apple bobbed, and he couldn’t

help saying softly, “It’s in my room.”

Lorelai suddenly realized and said, “Yeah, yeah, that’s right. I have a poor memory.”

When she got up to get it, Tabitha suddenly said, “I’ll get it.”

Tabitha got up quickly and reached outside Emmanuel’s bedroom in a few steps. She took a deep

breath and pushed open the door.

At that moment, Emmanuel’s breathing froze for a while. He had severe mysophobia, both mentally

and physically. He would never allow outsiders to invade his private space.

But as Tabitha walked in step by step, not only was he not irritated, but his empty heart seemed to be

filled.

Tabitha entered Emmanuel’s room with her heart racing. Emmanuel’s bedroom was not large, with little

furniture. Everything was in plain view.

Tabitha held her breath as she glanced toward the silver notebook placed on the desk by the window

without touching it immediately.

Right then, Tabitha was aware that Emmanuel hadn’t trusted her completely. She needed more such

chances to get in and out of his bedroom.

When Emmanuel saw that Tabitha had not come out after going in for so long, his fluttering heart

suddenly sank, and his eyes gradually became

alert.

At that moment, he heard Tabitha shouting from inside, “Emmanuel, I

can’t find it. Can you come in and help me look for it?”

Emmanuel suddenly felt relieved. He got up and walked in.

Tabitha stood in his bedroom and seemed too shy to touch his things, looking obedient.

Emmanuel suddenly felt that his suspicion was somewhat unreasonable.

Tabitha seemed to have just reacted and said a little sheepishly, “I didn’t think much just now. It seems I

shouldn’t have come in here.”

When she was about to exit, Emmanuel smiled gently and said, “It doesn’t

matter.”

Emmanuel walked to the innermost box, opened the lid, took out the trophy inside, and handed it to

Tabitha.

Tabitha noticed a safe next to the box, which seemed to contain important things. Her eyes couldn’t

help darting around.

She reached out to take over the trophy with a chuckle. “I can’t imagine you singing.”

Emmanuel also laughed, and his voice became gentler and clearer. “If you are curious, I can sing it for

you when I have time.”

“Sure,” said Tabitha.

This little incident was overlooked just like that. Tabitha knew that Emmanuel seemed to trust her a little

more now.
