    Chapter 142


    Tabitha felt the word “like” was too ironic for someone like Emmanuel. He would do whatever it took to


    achieve his goals. He even could cooperate with a woman like Naomi, so Tabitha thought he had no


    bottom line.


    Tabitha felt no need to be ethical with people who did not have a bottom line.


    Tabitha had a ning into her mind, which was to beat him at his


    own game.


    Emmanuel perceived Tabitha’s concern for him and wished he could spend more time with her. He


    deliberately drove slowly, but they still reached the Sinir manor quickly.


    After Tabitha got out of the car, she bent down slightly and said to him, “Thank you for driving me back.”


    “You’re wee.” Emmanuel said, “If it weren’t for you today, I might have been doomed. In fact, you


    are my savior.”


    Tabitha smiled and replied, “I just happened to look for you.”


    “But you did save my life.” Emmanuel fixed his eyes on her and continued, “Tabitha, I will repay you.”


    Pretending not to see the emotions in his eyes, Tabitha smiled faintly and agreed, “Okay then, treat me


    to a meal some other day.”


    Emmanuel was a little disappointed and secretly hated Tabitha for being insensitive, but he quickly


    pulled himself together. “Good. I’ll definitely remember it.”


    After saying goodbye to Emmanuel, Tabitha turned around and returned. to the house. Coincidentally,


    Malcolm was hurrying out and ran into Tabitha.


    Chapter 142


    He immediately grabbed her wrist and asked with concern, “Tabitha, where have you been thiste?”


    When Malcolm returned from Ackleton, he heard that Tabitha had left the hospital and was back at the


    Sinir manor. Thus, he immediately rushed back to the manor.


    But when he returned to the Sinir manor, he found that she had note back. So, he decided to go


    out again to look for her. Along the way home, he was worried about her in the car. He could not rest


    assured if he


    did not see her.


    Fortunately, he saw hering back as soon as he went out.


    But the car outside the door that brought Tabitha back had aroused his


    concerns.


    Malcolm frowned slightly and questioned, “Were you with Emmanuel just


    now?”


    Tabitha made no secret of it and nodded. “Yes.”


    She did not want to talk much with Malcolm, broke free from his hand, and walked past him directly.


    Malcolm looked at the car outside that had not driven away and clenched his fists. He pursed his lips,


    turned around, and followed her in.


    He had already found some clues about the connection between Emmanuel and Naomi.


    Although there was no conclusive evidence to tell Tabitha for the time being, Malcolm must make her


    understand that Emmanuel had ill intentions. He wanted to keep her away from Emmanuel.


    When Tabitha returned to the house, George saw the wound on her foot and shouted in shock, “Mrs.


    Sinir, you’re injured so severely. You should

    either stay in the hospital or go home for the recovery. How can you run around at thiste hour?”


    Tabitha said with a smile, “I didn’t run around. I just went to Emmanuel’s. house to get something.”


    In a hurry, George made peppermint tea for Tabitha and asked the housekeeper to run hot water for


    her to take a bath.


    Tabitha thanked George sincerely and went upstairs.


    Her foot was badly hit. She did not feel anything when she beat Jayden hard. But at that moment, she


    found that the pain was severe after her nerves rxed. She felt the pain even further when she took a


    step up the


    stairs.


    But she only frowned slightly, and without showing any pain on her face, she calmly went on to the


    second step.


    Suddenly, a pair of long arms wrapped from her side and picked her up directly.


    Tabitha’s body leaned backward, and things in her view inverted. She subconsciously wrapped her


    hands around Malcolm’s neck.


    Malcolm had not been so close to her for a long time. The familiar fragrance in his arms made his heart


    beat fast. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “You are seriously injured. I will bring you upstairs.”


    Tabitha’s foot was indeed in pain, so she did not refuse. Anyway, she needed not to be responsible for


    the hug.


    Malcolm’s arms were long and strong. He held her steadily and firmly but walked very slowly. It was


    only dozens of steps, but he took more than five minutes up.


    He took Tabitha straight into the bedroom andid her gently on the

    couch.


    Tabitha nodded calmly at him. “Thank you,” she said.

    Malcolm pursed his lips and said, “Amy has run the hot water for you. Can you do it alone? Do you


    need any help?”


    “No need. It’s just a minor injury.” Tabitha immediately refused. “You may go out.”


    “Tabitha…” Malcolm said seriously in a deep voice, “Emmanuel is unkind. You should be on guard


    when you get along with him in the future.”


    “Why do you say that?” Tabitha looked at him and pretended to be surprised. “He’s gentle and looks


    like a good man.”


    “Trust me, you can’t imagine what he has done abroad. Anyway, stay away from him,” he emphasized.


    Tabitha knew Malcolm would not say what Emmanuel had done and would provide no information she


    needed, so she only responded calmly, “I see. You can go out now. The water is getting cold.”


    Malcolm wanted to say something more, but Tabitha resolutely requested him out and mmed the


    door shut.


    Malcolm looked at the closed door and felt that it was like Tabitha’s heart which could no longer be


    opened for him.


    As he stood outside for a long time, his heart ached with the thought of Tabitha’s gentle, trusting face


    when she faced Emmanuel.


    Tabitha was his wife, and he would never allow anyone to covet her, let alone hurt her!


    When Emmanuel got home and saw all the lights had been switched off, he knew that Lori was


    probably hiding in her room again.

    He had grown ustomed to the darkness, and without turning on the lights, he moved slowly into the


    bedroom in total darkness.


    Emmanuel closed his eyes and felt the scent of Tabitha in the air, overwhelming him everywhere.


    The next morning. Emmanuel had a pair of notably dark circles on his face, but his eyes were full of


    vitality as if sunlight suddenly shone in a corner that had always been filled with dead air for years.


    Even Lori sensed that Emmanuel seemed to be different. But when she looked closely, she found


    Emmanuel was still the same, without any differences.

    After breakfast, Emmanuel went back to work at Sinir Group headquarters. The receptionist,


    Narcissa Tisdale, smiled sweetly at Emmanuel and greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Sinir.”


    “Good morning,” answered Emmanuel.


    Emmanuel’s smile was gentle, pleasant, and vibrant.


    Narcissa was stunned by his gentle look and said with a blushing face, “Mr. Sinir, Ms. Boyle over


    there wants to see you.”


    Following the direction pointed out by Narcissa, Emmanuel spotted Naomi sitting on a couch in the


    lobby. She nodded and smiled at him. when he looked over.
