Chasing His Runaway Wife

Chapter 129

If something occurred once, it could occur a second time.

From then on, Tabitha would enter Emmanuel’s room with the excuse to look for something for Lorelai

whenever she was free.

Gradually, Lorelai and Emmanuel became accustomed to Tabitha going in and out of Emmanuel’s

room.

On the fourth day of her stay at Emmanuel’s house, Tabitha was in the middle of her sleep after taking

medicine when it suddenly began to rain outside.

Meanwhile, Lorelai called her. “Tabby, I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply, so I had to call you.

I’m trapped in the supermarket due to the rain and will probably be home late. Please help me close

the windows on the balcony so that those succulents won’t get wet and rotten.”

Tabitha soon sobered up and said, “Okay.”

She got up and went to the balcony to close the windows. The rain was getting heavier, making loud

noises as it hit the windows.

Tabitha looked at the locked door of Emmanuel’s room, her heart pounding.

She knew Emmanuel didn’t have the habit of locking his room door. She could get in just by turning the

doorknob and pushing the door open.

At that time, Lorelai was not home, and Emmanuel was in the company. She was all alone at home. It

was a good timing!

Tabitha calmed down. She grabbed a piece of rag and slowly walked toward Emmanuel’s room.

She came to the door and put her fingers on the doorknob. As she was.

about to turn it, she found that the door was not closed tightly but ajar.

Tabitha realized something was wrong. According to Emmanuel’s cautious. character, he would

definitely close the door tight even if he didn’t usually lock it.

She made a mental note about it as she pushed the door to go into the

room.

No one was in the room, and it was quiet. A few clothes were scattered beside the bed. Emmanuel had

probably gone out before he could tidy them up.

Tabitha subconsciously held her breath. Unfortunately, the laptop was not there. Her gaze couldn’t help

glancing toward the safety deposit box in the

corner.

During that time, Tabitha found out Emmanuel’s and Lorelai’s birth dates, as well as some other

important dates for Emmanuel.

Emmanuel was singing the opera when his pinkie had been cut off. He had then become somewhat

paranoid about the opera.

Tabitha wondered if the password to his safe would also be related to an important day.

Tabitha remained calm. First, she neatly folded the clothes and put them back in the closet. Then, she

tidied the desk and the room and wiped every corner clean.

Soon, Tabitha was near the safety deposit box..

She looked behind her vigilantly to make sure no one was back, then reached out and tried to enter the

date when Emmanuel’s finger was cut off. It failed.

avail.

At that point, Tabitha only had two chances left. If there were too many wrong attempts within 24 hours,

the safety deposit box would be locked.

Tabitha thought of the ajar door and subconsciously felt she shouldn’t try it again. She was afraid that it

might be a trap.

She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard a man’s voice from behind.

“What are you doing?” Emmanuel’s originally clear and gentle voice was tinged with a hint of darkness

and hoarseness, emitting a dangerous aura.

Tabitha’s heart suddenly trembled but soon calmed down. Why is Emmanuel back?‘ she wondered.

Emmanuel’s voice sounded again, as if the Grim Reaper himself was going to drag Tabitha into eternal

damnation in the next second. “Tabitha, what are you doing alone in my room?”

Tabitha quickly adjusted her expression as she squatted in front of the safety deposit box before slowly

turning around with a smile.

Emmanuel was wearing a black bathrobe with water dripping from his bangs, and his whole body was

covered with moisture. He had clearly just taken a shower.

Tabitha’s mind went blank for a moment. ‘When did Emmanuel come back? Why didn’t I notice he was

in the shower?‘ she wondered.

When Emmanuel saw Tabitha’s seemingly shy, blushed face, his faint vigilance vaguely disappeared

again. He took a few steps closer and asked tentatively, “Do you want to see my safety deposit box?”

“No.” Tabitha’s eyes were calm without a trace of flaw. “It’s raining. Mdm. Sinclair asked me to close the

windows on the balcony. I was worried your

window was left open and stopped by to take a look. Seeing your room hasn’t been cleaned for a while,

I just cleaned it up.” As she said that, she waved the rag in her hand and smiled innocently.

Tabitha secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, she had entered his bedroom several times before and could at

least find a reasonable excuse.

Emmanuel’s eyes scanned the room. The clothes scattered beside the bed had indeed been folded

and put into the closet, and the entire room had also been cleaned. There was not a trace of dust. It

new.

“Tabitha didn’t lie. I was overly suspicious and almost misunderstood her, Emmanuel thought.

Seeing Emmanuel’s face relax, Tabitha said somewhat bashfully, “I’ve been bothering you here for so

long. I just wanted to do something that I could do for you. Without your permission, I… Am I being too

forward?”

Emmanuel’s heart was slightly stirred as he thought, ‘Tabitha just wanted. to help out of kindness, but I

doubted her.'”

Since Emmanuel was a child, even Lorelai had never done those things. attentively for him. He felt

good to be taken care of.

“No, you’re not.” Emmanuel smiled with a glint in his eyes, accentuating his gentle demeanor. “Thank

you.”

Seeing that he had believed her, Tabitha heaved a sigh of relief and held on to the safety deposit box to

stand up.

Tabitha had mild anemia. She had probably squatted too long and felt dizzy when she got up. Her body

swayed, and she was about to fall.

“Watch out.” Emmanuel quickly stepped forward to support her. His voice suddenly became somewhat

hoarse. “How are you? What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Maybe I feel a little dizzy after squatting for too long,” Tabitha replied.

Their posture was very much like a hug.

Emmanuel’s heart suddenly fluttered, like rose petals falling onto a calm lake, creating ripples.

Emmanuel had just showered, and the intense coldness and strangeness enveloped Tabitha densely.

Tabitha froze all over. She was very much repulsed and disgusted by such close contact, and her

whole body stiffened.

Tabitha was about to push Emmanuel away quietly when she heard a roar from somebody. “What are

you doing?”
