Chapter 70

Malcolm hired two caregivers to take care of Naomi and then he went back to the office to wrap things up.

The annual vacation was coming soon, and the company had more and more things to deal with.

By the time he was done, the sky had already turned dark.

Saul took the elevator downstairs with him. Noticing Malcolm’s tired look, Saul couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Sinclair, do you still want to go to the hospital?”

With all the commotion caused by Naomi that day, Saul figured that Malcolm would have to visit the hospital on these few days.

‘But what is the purpose of Mr. Sinclair for arranging those two caregivers?‘ Saul wondered.

Malcolm looked at the neon lights outside and couldn’t help thinking of Tabitha.

He pinched his eyebrows and said, “Go back to the Sinclair manor.”

Saul didn’t know if it was an illusion. For a moment just now, Saul felt that Malcolm’s eyes were a bit gentle.

Saul found it unbelievable.

Halfway through the journey, it began to rain.

Although the rain was light, the winter breeze made it almost bone- chilling.

When Malcolm got home, he was surprised to see Tabitha still awake. Upon seeing Malcolm enter, she merely greeted him faintly.

NPP D NN 91% 15:06 The chill still lingered on his body. Subconsciously, Malcolm stepped away from Tabitha and took off his long coat before approaching her.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” he asked.

Malcolm held a vague expectation in his heart. He hoped that Tabitha was waiting for him to come home.

Tabitha came downstairs to get water. She just got a call from Trevor and learned that Giuseppe had returned to the country.

The culprit who killed her parents finally came back after staying abroad for so many years.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t find evidence to prosecute Giuseppe for the time being. She could only watch the culprits get away with the crime one by one.

However, she didn’t want to say a word about these things to Malcolm, so she got up and went back to her room.

Malcolm had the illusion that Tabitha’s expression became impatient after seeing him.

Inexplicably, he felt a little depressed. Then he went upstairs into the bedroom and found Tabitha on the balcony.

‘It’s so cold and raining outside. What is she doing out there?‘ he thought.

He was about to ask when she came in with a pot of jasmine, then went out again and brought in another pot of houseleek.

The drizzle hit the balcony, wetting her bangs on her forehead. She looked a little petite and frail.

Malcolm’s coldness suddenly intensified, and the anger in his tone was almost insuppressible.

A NNO 0% 15:06 “They’re just two pots of plants. They won’t die if they get a little rain. You’re in poor health. If you get sick because of two pots of plants, Grandpa would be worried,” Malcolm said.

“The temperature will drop when it rains. The plants cannot withstand cold. It’s safer to move them indoors,” Tabitha responded nonchalantly.

“These things are delicate. Only you are willing to nurture them with effort,” Malcolm said, looking down at her wrist. It was still empty, and the anger in his heart soared uncontrollably.

She treasured the gifts from others, but he had never seen her wearing the bracelet he gave her.

After Tabitha put away the two pots of plants, she noticed Malcolm staring at her wrist. His blue eyes were blazing with flames.

She raised her wrist strangely and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“As the lady of the Sinclair family, why don’t you even have a piece of decent jewelry on your body?

Those who know nothing might think that the Sinclair family has mistreated you,” Malcolm responded.

Tabitha was stunned.

‘Who wears jewelry in the middle of the night?‘ she mused.

“I’m a doctor. It’s inconvenient to wear those things,” she answered.

However, Malcolm reminded her of one thing.

“By the way, I have a friend who likes Lone Star’s Tear you bought at the auction, so I gave it to her,”

she said.

Malcolm couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. He snapped, “Did you just simply give away the gift I gave you?”

“I didn’t simply give it away.” Tabitha took out her phone and said, “She transferred the money to me. I’ll transfer it back to you now.”

When Colette transferred the money to her, Malcolm was still on a business trip. Tabitha planned to wait until he came back and told him. about it, but she forgot about it.

Malcolm stared at Tabitha coldly with emotion in his eyes that she couldn’t understand. “Do you think the Sinclair family lacks 6 million dollars?”

Tabitha knew she was wrong. She held back her temper and said, “It’s my fault. I didn’t discuss it with you in advance. But my friend didn’t pay a penny less. She paid me even the handling fee.”

Malcolm took a few steps closer to her. “Don’t you like Lone Star’s Tear? Why did you give it away?”

Tabitha felt a little threatened by Malcolm, so she subconsciously stepped back and said, “It’s just an external thing. I don’t care much.”

“You!” Malcolm approached her again and looked down at her. He wanted to ask Tabitha whether she didn’t care about Lone Star’s Tear or just him.
