    Tabitha had just recovered, and her tone was a little unsteady due to


    anxiety. As soon as she finished speaking, she coughed, and the cyan blood vessels on her forehead


    slightly bulged.


    Chadwick hurriedly held her and said worriedly, “Tabby, you just got discharged. Don’t get too


    emotional.”


    Malcolm just thought it was ridiculous.


    Tabitha, who used to be as obedient as a cat in front of him, now revealed her ws at him just for the


    pretty boy.


    Noticing Malcolm’s scrutinizing gaze, Chadwick frowned slightly and pulled Tabitha’s sleeve to signal


    her not to be angry. His gentle eyes didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he gave Malcolm a kind


    smile.


    He said, “Mr. Sinir seems to know a lot about nts. I do like to raise some nts in my spare time,


    but I didn’t expect you to speak highly of this pot of jasmine. If you’re interested, I’ll give you one next


    time.”


    His gentle smile made Malcolm unhappy, and he felt the urge to shatter his calmness.


    However, his upbringing in manners since childhood kept himposed. He responded indifferently,


    “Thank you, but I’m not interested.”


    Tabitha calmed down and looked at Chadwick disapprovingly. She whispered, “Why are you polite to


    him? It’s a waste to give him such a beautiful nt.”


    After saying that, she ignored Malcolm’s faintly angered expression and straightforwardly said to


    Chadwick, “Let’s go. In return, I’ll treat you to a


    meal.”


    She didn’t want to see the couple behind her at all.


    The veins on Malcolm’s forehead were throbbing. He thought, ‘I haven’t even left, and Tabitha tantly


    wants to date the paramour alone?’

    “Tabitha, don’t forget your current status.” Malcolm couldn’t help but say in a cold voice, “If reporters


    catch you having dinner alone with another man, thepany’s public rtions department will have a


    lot of extra work.”


    Tabitha felt that Malcolm was particrly annoying today. She moved her thin lips, but Chadwick


    looked at Naomi thoughtfully and spoke first. “Mr. Sinir, don’t worry too much. Tabby is far less


    famous than Mr. Sinir. Even if she walks on the main road, others will not know that she is Mrs.


    Sinir, but they can certainly recognize Mr. Sinir.”


    He added, “Since Mr. Sinir can rest assured to appear in public with another woman, it won’t be an


    issue for Tabby to go out with another


    man.”


    After Chadwick finished speaking word by word, he looked at Naomi coldly and asked, “Miss, what do


    you think?”


    Although his clear eyes were apanied by a gentle smile, it made Naomi feel ashamed, as if her


    innermost thoughts wereid bare.


    She smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.


    Malcolm’s face grew increasingly grim. He stood in front of Naomi and looked at Chadwick coldly.


    Chadwick remained calm and smiled gracefully. He suggested, “If Mr. Sinir is really worried, why


    don’t we have a meal together? Tabby is discharged today and we should celebrate it.”


    His wordspletely wiped the smile off Naomi’s face.


    Malcolm didn’t respond to him. He pursed his thin lips, and his sharp gaze stared directly at Chadwick.


    Chadwick didn’t avoid Malcolm. He looked at him with a smile on his face.


    The atmosphere between the two was tense. Tabitha pursed her lips and couldn’t help but break the


    silence at this moment. She said, “Never mind; he’s busy. And with him around, it’ll affect our appetite.”

    After saying that, she pulled Chadwick’s sleeve and left.


    One of them was tall and slender, while the other was delicate. They looked surprisingly well-matched.


    Malcolm felt a slight tingling in his eyes, and the restlessness in his heart was about to be


    uncontroble.


    He never expected that Tabitha could change her attitude so quickly.


    He wondered if her previous deep affection toward him was indeed all an


    act.


    “Malcolm, what do you think about Ms. Jarvis and that-” Naomi was still trying to stir up something but


    was interrupted by Malcolm with a slight annoyance, “Leave them alone. Let’s go for your prenatal


    check-up first.”


    Thinking of Tabitha defending Chadwick wholeheartedly, he felt agitated and couldn’t suppress it.


    “Okay…” Naomi replied obediently and bowed her head, but her eyes were filled with gloom.


    She couldn’t believe that Malcolm’s heart was actually in turmoil because of Tabitha.


    Usually, he wouldn’t talk to her in such an impatient tone.


    After leaving the hospital and arriving at a restaurant, Tabitha finally calmed down and said


    apologetically, “Sorry for making such an embarrassing scene.”


    “There’s no need to talk about this between us.” Chadwick shook his head and looked worried. He


    asked, “But… Are you doing welltely?”


    He knew everything between her and Malcolm.


    Tabitha felt warm and said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”


    She felt satisfied thinking about how Naomi was too embarrassed to say a


    Chapter 12


    word at that moment.


    “Thank you for defending me just now,” Tabitha said.


    Chadwick nodded with a light smile, but his eyes slightly lowered, concealing the worry beneath.


    After having a meal, Tabitha said goodbye to Chadwick and returned. home. She found out that


    Malcolm had been away for several days.


    Even without thinking, she could guess where he had gone.


    Tabitha habitually went to see the tulips nted in the garden. In the past few days, she couldn’t


    personally take care of them, so their growth was noticeably weak.


    She had a mild pollen allergy. If it weren’t for Malcolm’s fondness for tulips, she wouldn’t have filled the


    garden with these flowers and grew them so well that they blossomed beautifully even in winter.


    Tabitha had only finished tidying a small flower bed when she started sneezing continuously. The tip of


    her nose turned red, forcing her to leave the garden temporarily.


    Her phone vibrated again. Tabitha picked it up and looked at the message, which was a long number


    without any information.


    She clicked on it.


    The message read: [Things have made progress. Come to Four Seasons. Bar now.]


    Tabitha’s heart skipped a beat.


    While in the hospital, she secretly hired a private investigator to investigate Naomi. She didn’t expect


    any progress so soon.


    She immediately put on her coat and left by car.

    At that moment, Malcolm happened to return from the other side of the

    Seeing a figure sh by outside the car window, he frowned and said to his assistant in front, “Find out


    where she’s going at thiste hour.”


    Saul made a phone call and quickly reported back, “Mr. Sinir, Mrs. Sinir went to Four Seasons


    Bar.”


    Tabitha never went out sote. Today was so unusual…


    Malcolm remembered the pretty boy he met in the hospital during the day, and his face was a little


    gloomy. He ordered, “Ask someone to keep an eye on her.”


    “Yes, Mr. Sinir,” Saul replied.
