Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 137

Emmanuel wasn’t too excited about hanging out with strangers, but he had to be friendly when Tabitha

was around. He gave a nod and a nice. smile, saying, “Yeah.”

Emmanuel was a guy who always had a smile on his face. Even if he was just putting on a friendly act,

it made him seem really nice.

Judith was kind of enchanted by his smile for a moment. “It’s strange, Mr. Emmanuel Sinclair. Even

though you’re Mr. Malcolm Sinclair’s cousin, there’s something about you that makes me think of

Tabitha,” she mumbled.

Emmanuel asked gently, “Really? Where do you see the resemblance?”

“When you smile, especially in the eyes. Both of your eyes are hazel, and the shape is quite nice,”

Judith replied.

Emmanuel felt a little happy inside. He hadn’t noticed his resemblance to Tabitha before.

After finishing prescribing medication for a patient, Tabitha walked over. Emmanuel’s unusually good

mood caught her attention and seemed a bit strange to her.

Tabitha glanced at Judith and made a mental note to ask her later about their conversation and what

they had been discussing.

“Emmanuel, is there something you need from me?” Tabitha’s soft voice grabbed Emmanuel’s

attention, and he hastily remembered why he had come by today.

“Tabitha, I heard Malcolm has also moved back to the Sinclair manor, is that true?” Emmanuel asked.

Tabitha nodded and replied, “Yes.”

She noticed that Emmanuel didn’t appear pleased.

“Weren’t you considering a divorce? I get he’s moving back for Granddad, but living together again?

That doesn’t sound like a good idea. Emmanuel voiced his worry.

“Anyway, let’s wait until Grandpa Alaric is feeling better,” Tabitha said.

After a pause, Tabitha asked, “It seems like you really want Malcolm and me to get divorced. Why?”

Emmanuel felt surprised and a bit cornered by Tabitha’s words.

At first, he thought about orchestrating their divorce because he knew Alaric cared deeply for Tabitha,

maybe even more than for Malcolm. The plan was to make Alaric resent Malcolm.

Later, it was his own hidden desire that made him wish for their

separation.

However, these were reasons he couldn’t confess to Tabitha.

“The way things are between you and Malcolm, I’m worried that forcing yourselves to stay together

might not bring you happiness,” Emmanuel said slowly.

“I don’t really mind,” Tabitha said intentionally. “I don’t have feelings for anyone at the moment. It’s okay

even if we end up divorcing later on.”

Emmanuel felt rather displeased.

When Tabitha stayed at his place before, it was clear she had some feelings for him. But once back at

Sinclair manor, she became distant again.

“You can’t be so sure. Life is unpredictable, and you might unexpectedly develop feelings for someone

else. It’s important to plan for your own future,” Emmanuel advised.

Tabitha nodded casually and replied, “Thanks, I’ll give it some careful. thought.”

Emmanuel saw that Tabitha had become distant again. He understood that no matter what he said, she

wasn’t going to change her mind.

Emmanuel felt a bit defeated and frustrated. He couldn’t get Tabitha to see his point, and he had to

keep his feelings in check. He swallowed his frustration and stepped away for the moment.

News of this matter swiftly reached Alaric.

Instead of focusing on Tabitha wanting to divorce Malcolm, Alaric was more worried about Emmanuel’s

behavior toward Tabitha.

Emmanuel was usually distant and tough. He was older than Malcolm and had never been in a

relationship.

Surprisingly, he developed feelings for Tabitha.

Alaric thought it was ridiculous!

Unable to bear the situation, Alaric reluctantly brought back Wilmer Callahan, who had been handling

his business affairs overseas for years.

Wilmer was tall and slender, with a square face that gave off a sincere. impression.

Upon landing, he quickly made his way to the hospital.

“Mr. Sinclair, I heard about your health troubles lately, and I’m sorry I couldn’t visit more. I feel really

bad about it,” Wilmer said apologetically.

Wilmer was Alaric’s right–hand man, someone Alaric trusted completely. He was entrusted with highly

confidential matters.

Back then, it was Wilmer who orchestrated that particular incident.

Alaric casually waved his hand and said, “Getting older brings its own. problems. Just get used to it.”

After Alaric and Wilmer finished catching up, the latter noticed the former looked serious. It seemed

that Alaric was about to give Wilmer some important instructions.

Wilmer opened the door and quickly checked outside. Once he made sure no one was around, he

closed the door again.

Then, he approached Alaric with a serious face and whispered, “Mr. Alaric Sinclair, I heard that Ms.

Sinclair wants to divorce Mr. Malcolm Sinclair…”

Realizing he might have said something he shouldn’t have, he hurriedly corrected himself. “Mrs.

Sinclair is set on divorcing Mr. Malcolm Sinclair. Is it because of Mr. Emmanuel Sinclair?”

Being away most of the time, he didn’t know much about what was happening at home. When Alaric

suddenly called him back, he figured it had something to do with Tabitha, so he began investigating.

When he learned about Emmanuel’s involvement with Tabitha, he was left speechless for a moment.

Alaric closed his eyes and nodded solemnly. “Malcolm, that brat, had an affair, and it caused Tabby to

lose the baby. Now she’s dead set on divorcing him.”

Wilmer’s expression grew even more serious.

He knew Alaric cared a lot about Tabitha. She was, after all, Alaric’s only flesh and blood left in the

world. If it weren’t for that incident years ago…

Wilmer paused his thoughts and asked sincerely, “Mr. Sinclair, did you bring me back for something in

particular?”

from Tabby.”

If they caused any problems, it would be tough to deal with the consequences later.

Wilmer promptly replied, “Sure, I’ll keep a close eye on Mr. Emmanuel Sinclair and make sure he

doesn’t get near Mrs. Sinclair.”

Yet, Wilmer couldn’t resist and asked, “Mr. Sinclair, if you’re genuinely concerned about problems

between Mr. Emmanuel Sinclair and Mrs. Sinclair, why not send him back overseas?”
