Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 144

Naomi’s shoulders were trembling. She looked extremely frightened and said in a panic. “I don’t know.”

Malcolm noticed every expression on her face. Naturally, he could see the fear in her eyes and knew

that she truly did not know the real culprit. Thus, he did not ask her again and merely asked Saul to

drive faster.

At the hospital, after having a check–up, Malcolm was told that his elbow had been injured, but it was

not a major issue.

The doctor said, “There may be some swelling and pain these few days. Be careful not to exert too

much force, and eat light.”

After listening to the doctor’s advice, Malcolm walked out of the ward with a file in his hand.

Then, Malcolm looked at Naomi who was still frightened before turning to say to Saul, “Stay outside.”

“Yes, sir.”

Then, Saul went out and shut the door. He stood still and guarded the

entrance.

There were only two people left in the ward, and Malcolm’s scrutinizing eyes, with a heavy sense of

pressure, fell on Naomi.

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat because of his gaze. Then, she asked cautiously, “Malcolm, why are you

looking at me like that?”

“Naomi, you came to see Emmanuel today, didn’t you?” he asked.

Before Naomi went to the company that day to see Emmanuel, she had already figured out an excuse.

Thus, she pretended to stutter, “Malcolm, you haven’t been seeing me lately or answering my calls. I’m

so upset—”

“There is no need to change the subject. Malcolm’s eyes flashed with disgust. He added coldly.

“Answer me honestly. What is your relationship with Emmanuel?”

I have nothing to do with him. It’s Tabitha who has a relationship with him,” she replied.

Then, Naomi added in a low voice quickly. “Last time at the hospital, I saw Emmanuel deliver food to

Tabitha. After that, Tabitha adjusted his collar and even acted coquettishly with him. She asked him to

visit her more often. She also said she liked the food he cooked…”

Although Malcolm knew that Naomi might be deliberately making it up, his expression was still grim.

“I don’t want to speak ill of her behind her back, but you won’t get a divorce. I’m worried that you have

fallen in love with her. So I went to see Emmanuel to talk to him. If it’s confirmed that he likes Tabitha,

then—”

“Then what?” he interrupted.

Malcolm’s lips were completely pursed. Meanwhile, his tone was cold as he added, “Do you want to

cooperate with Emmanuel to set him up with Tabitha?”

“I don’t want to do this either.” Naomi immediately cried as she added. “But I don’t have any other

option. You care too much about her now. I’m afraid you’re already in love with her.”

Indeed, he was already in love with Tabitha.

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her earlier, but he merely refused to admit it.

Now that he wanted to admit it, he had no chance to talk to her anymore.

Malcolm had no expression on his face. “Let’s not talk about it for a

moment. But you’d better understand one thing. What happened today. with the car may not have been

a mere accident.

Naomi’s hand trembled briefly. She was shocked. “What do you mean, Malcolm? Do you know who’s

trying to kill me?”

“Don’t tell me you have no idea who it was.” Malcolm stared at her. With a mocking smile, he added,

“How did you and Emmanuel know each other? Do I have to repeat it? Moreover, Giuseppe has just

arrived in Xosa a few days ago…”

Naomi was stunned and forgot to pretend to cry. Then, the realization dawned on her. She thought,

‘Malcolm already knows everything! So he’s been secretly investigating me these days. What else did

he find besides Emmanuel and Giuseppe?”

“Naomi, I don’t have to expose everything. I trusted and respected you, so I didn’t want to send anyone

to investigate you. But you’d better know that Emmanuel is not as capable as I am,” Malcolm said.

Therefore, if Malcolm wanted to investigate anything, no one could hide from him.

Naomi’s brain was working at full speed. In an instant, she covered her face and cried.

“I didn’t mean to lie to you, Malcolm. Six months ago, Emmanuel suddenly came to me and said he

could help me become your wife. When we were kidnapped back then when we were young, I fell for

you at first sight. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried my best to save you. Believe me, I worked with

Emmanuel just to marry you. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone…”

Although Saul had found out about those things, Malcolm still felt endless. anger an

disgust when he heard Naomi admit it on her own.

‘It’s this woman who approached me with a disgusting fake attitude. She made me misunderstand

Tabitha and pushed away the woman that I truly

love,‘ he mused to himself.

“Now, I’m the only one who can save your life, Naomi. If you’re not planning to tell me the truth, I don’t

have to waste any more time here. with you,” he said.

A strong feeling of disgust appeared in Malcolm’s gaze as he turned around and wanted to walk away.

Malcolm, you can’t leave me alone,” she said.

Thinking of the frightening scene just now, Naomi immediately fell to the ground and grabbed the

corner of his shirt. She started to cry miserably.

“If I die, Tabitha will never know the real Emmanuel!” she exclaimed.

Malcolm’s gaze darkened.

‘She’s fallen for it, he thought.

He shook off Naomi’s hand and said coldly, “If you want me to save your life, then tell me everything

you have done before.”

Naomi saw the coldness and impatience in Malcolm’s eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She did not

dare to hide it anymore and whispered, “Initially, I was studying abroad. Six months ago, Emmanuel

suddenly came to me and directly asked if I knew you…”

After that, Naomi explained in detail everything including how Emmanuel found her and how he set up

a plan to drug Malcolm..

Once she was finished, Malcolm’s eyes were cold. “I’ll give you one last chance, Naomi. You’d better

tell the truth honestly. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you when I walk out of this door.”

Naomi’s fingers paused before she said in a hurry, “The person you were with that night was Tabitha,

Malcolm. Neither Emmanuel nor I expected her to come to Quilton all of a sudden. But you were so

drunk that you

didn’t even recognize her…”

Malcolm stared at her with an angry gaze which he was unable to control. Stressing each word, he

asked, “So I didn’t even touch you right from the beginning, did 1?”

Although he had already found out about it, he still needed to hear the confirmation from Naomi.

“You’re right,” Naomi whispered. Then, she added, “I entered your room immediately after Tabitha left.

You woke up before I finished taking off my clothes.”

Malcolm’s jawline was tense, and he stared at Naomi with frost in his blue.

eyes.

Since he was a child, Alaric had been teaching him in a highly pressuring way. Thus, his emotions

rarely showed. However, at this moment, he was truly angered.

The person who had been with him was Tabitha. Nevertheless, because of Naomi, he misunderstood

that Tabitha’s child was illegitimate. Now, it caused them to almost break up.

Moreover, a scarier assumption appeared in Malcolm’s mind. He thought, ‘Back then, did Naomi really NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

refuse to help Raphael and Meghan? She only managed to escape because Giuseppe dealt with it.’

Then, he continued to muse to himself, “Tabitha has always been calm and composed. She doesn’t

look like someone who accuses other people without reason. If I had misunderstood her on this matter

as well, then. what reason would I have to ask for Tabitha’s forgiveness in the future?’

He tried hard to compose himself. Acting as if he had known the whole truth, he said coldly, “You

caused Raphael and Meghan’s deaths eight years. ago. You’d better tell me the details of it honestly.”
