Naomi's face froze. She felt angry and ashamed, but she did not dare to

lash out.

“I understand,” Naomi replied.

After hanging up the phone, Emmanuel leaned against the black leather chair and smiled.

Of course, he knew that Malcolm would immediately turn against Tabitha if Riley did not mention the details of

her mistaking someone else for

him.

However, Malcolm was thoughtful and had superior tactics than

Emmanuel. If there were too many loopholes in the fabricated truth, it would easily arouse Malcolm's suspicion.

Besides, the fake truth probably would not last long.

If he relied solely on Naomi alone, Tabitha and Malcolm probably would not get divorced even after the baby was

born.

It seemed that he had to prepare plan B.

When Tabitha and Malcolm returned to the Sinclair manor, Alaric was sitting in the living room, filled with joy.

Malcolm's attitude towards Tabitha had obviously changed these days. He was not as courteous and distant as

he used to be. Although they were a couple, he acted like they were business partners.

As she crossed the threshold of the door, Tabitha wobbled in her steps, and Malcolm gently supported her.

Alaric’s smile becwider. He hurriedly called Tabitha to sit beside him

and asked someone to get her a glass of boiled warm water again.

Tabitha took out the ultrasound report and showed it to Alaric.

Alaric accepted the photo, which was not very clear, and asked repeatedly, “Is this my great-grandchild?”

Affected by Alaric’s mood, Tabitha’s depression eased. She smiled and said, “Yes.”

“Malcolm, cand see...” Alaric wanted to call Malcolm over, but he found the latter talking to George when

he turned his head.

“I checked the bathroom last night. The tiles on the floor are not good and are slippery. Please ask someone to

replace them with anti-skid ones. The doctor said pregnant women should stay in a quiet and good

environment. Try not to disturb her when you do things in the future. Also, about the beetroot soup sent by

Emmanuel this morning. The doctor said it was good, nutritious, and easy to digest. Please ask the chef to learn

how to make it,” Malcolm relayed all the doctor's advice to George patiently.

George wrote them down one by one.

“He finally knows how to care about people.” Alaric said with a smile, “Tabby, you can now see the silver lining.”

The smile in Tabitha’s eyes faded, and she curled her lips stiffly.

She no longer cared about the silver lining anymore. After all, she had given up on him.

After briefing everything, Malcolm found Alaric looking at him with a

smile.

Alaric had always been strict with him, and this was the first tthat he looked so gentle. Malcolm felt a little

uncomfortable.

Thus, he said, “Grandpa, if there is nothing else at home, I'll go back to the company first.”

“The kitchen staff is already cooking lunch. Go to the company after eating.” Alaric ordered.

Malcolm nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Alaric did not see any reluctance on Malcolm's face.

He was in a good mood and advised, “Malcolm, it’s a good thing that you can realize your mistake. You should

treat Tabby well in the future and don’t hurt her anymore.”

Malcolm was silent for a few seconds and nodded. “Yes, | will take care of Tabitha and the baby.”

Tabitha was shocked and could not help raising her head to meet

Malcolm's blue eyes.

Tabitha could not understand the emotion in his eyes and immediately looked away.

Her heart was beating so badly as she thought, ‘Malcolm approved my baby?

‘Is it conscience, or because of Grandpa Alaric?”

Alaric saw their reactions.

He was probably too old to figure out what was going on in these young people’s minds, so he decided to ask

them directly.

After lunch, Alaric called Malcolm into the study.

Seeing Alaric’s serious expression, Malcolm guessed what he was going to

say.

Malcolm asked, “Grandpa, what's the matter?”

Alaric started. “I've seen your attitude towards Tabby these days. Have you finally thought things through?”

Malcolm did not figure out anything, but after knowing the truth, he could not be as indifferent to Tabitha as

before.

However, he could not tell Alaric the truth, so he kept silent.

“If you change your mind and want to live a good life with Tabby, you have to break up with that woman

completely and never see her again,” Alaric added.

Malcolm frowned, “Grandpa, | have no feelings for Naomi. It’s just that she savedwhen | was kidnapped, and

now she is accidentally pregnant with my child. | promised to give her an explanation.”

He expressed two points in his words-Naomi was his savior, and he made a promise to Naomi.

Alaric’s wrinkled face turned stern. He was obviously unhappy.

“Grandpa, you have taughtto be responsible since childhood. | promised Naomi that | would never leave her

and the baby alone.” Malcolm looked serious and sincere.

Alaric frowned. He did want his grandson to be a responsible man, but Malcolm should not be taking

responsibility for that kind of woman.

However, it took Malcolm a long tto change. Therefore, Alaric could not push too hard lest Malcolm became

rebellious again.

Alaric made a concession and said, “It’s up to you to decide what to do with that woman. But I'll make it clear

today. That child will not be a part of the Sinclair family.”

That was a problem that Malcolm could not face at the moment.
