Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 5

Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her moist eyes were not sparkling as they used to. She looked exceptionally like a weak little kitten.

Alaric’s anger rose again. “Tabby, I know all about it. How dare that scum keep a woman outside? He angered you so much that you bled during pregnancy!”

He forcefully suppressed his anger, but toward the end of his sentence, Alaric still could not help but raise his voice.

Tabitha’s gaze froze, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest that almost made her unable to breathe.

Her lips moved, and she subconsciously blurted out the words to defend Malcolm. “Don’t be angry, Grandpa Alaric. Malcolm didn’t know I was pregnant. It was an accident…”

Alaric was a stern man. He would reprimand Malcolm ruthlessly without showing any favor.

Hearing that, he was both anxious and distressed. “Tabby, you’re so silly. Do you think I don’t know the situation between you and Malcolm?”

After the marriage, the two had treated each other with indifference. However, Tabitha was afraid that Alaric would scold Malcolm, so she had always only mentioned the good things and would speak up for Malcolm in front of Alaric.

Alaric said, “Usually, you’d defend him, and I’d turn a blind eye. Now, he even brazenly brought the other woman back. Why are you so foolish? How could you still speak up for him?”

George had told him everything that happened.

Looking at the concerned look in Alaric’s eyes, Tabitha felt a lump forming in her throat. She could not stop the tears from welling up in her
