I’d even lie to myself. But I don’t care anymore, and I don’t want you anymore. You can use your tricks to keep me from filing for divorce, but as long as I’m still breathing, I will never, ever give up on the idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrenched her hand away and strode out of the coffee shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant watched her go, his strong brows furrowing tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his phone rang again.

Walker had watched over him all night, and by morning, the boy was finally doing a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned to Jardinelle, he saw Sunny Reed was still by the gate, huddled over with her eyes fixed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows knitted. \"Sister-in-law, must you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed looked up at him, her face pale. \"Walker, I need to see my son. You can’t take him away from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant said, \"That’s not my intention. But it’s obvious you can’t take proper care of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can!\" Sunny Reed burst into tears. \"Last night was just an accident, I swear. Please, believe me. I’ll take good care of him. Don’t take him away from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant was in no mood to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Noah Grant getting into trouble time and time again, his patience with Sunny Reed had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed cried out miserably at his retreating back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip, then finally rose to her feet and stumbled away, heading straight for the Grant Family Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Noah Grant saw Walker Grant, he stretched out his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant picked him up. \"Are you still scared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not when Uncle is here,\" Noah said, relying on him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant looked at the boy’s innocent face and asked, \"How did you end up in the pumpkin house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah seemed to be trying to remember. \"Hide-and-seek... I got lost. I couldn’t get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Walker Grant’s brows furrowed. \"And your mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah shook his head. \"Don’t know.

I’d like to take you to dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this? Trying to bribe me?\" Owen Sterling said jokingly. \"It’ll take more than one dinner for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed smiled. \"I just really want to thank you for last night.
