She looked as if she’d been caught in a downpour—drenched and miserable, a palpable gloom hanging over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her in this state, Walker Grant’s brow furrowed tightly, and the air around him seemed to grow heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the elevator doors opened, he stepped out. Chloe Reed followed apathetically behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She unlocked the door with her fingerprint. Just as she stepped into the room, Walker Grant’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his phone and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were close enough that she could hear what sounded like Judith Pierce’s anxious voice on the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’m heading over now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant agreed, then hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at Chloe Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the news of his departure, the gloom hanging over her seemed to lift slightly, a hint of brightness returning to her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She really is that desperate to get away from me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant tightened his grip on his phone and said flatly, \"I’ll have the hotel send up dinner. Don’t order takeout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed murmured her assent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant turned and pressed the elevator button, his gaze suddenly falling on her. \"Chloe, don’t you have anything you want to say to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only answer was the SLAM of a closing door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark expression gradually settled over Walker Grant’s face. But just then, the elevator doors opened. He retracted his gaze and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah Grant was hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d accidentally shattered a glass, and a shard had pierced the sole of his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been crying for his \"Little Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Walker arrived at the hospital, the glass had been cleaned from Noah’s foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked utterly pitiful, his eyelashes still wet with tears from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Walker, Noah immediately reached out his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant stepped forward and took the boy into his arms. He looked at Judith Pierce. \"Mom, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce said, \"It was just an accident. The nanny was playing with him when the glass was broken. He lost his footing and stepped on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt helpless as well. She’d only taken her eyes off him for a moment, and something like this had to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant looked down at Noah. The boy, looking utterly pitiful, clutched at Walker’s shirt and asked in a small voice, \"Little Uncle, where did my mommy go? I miss her so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t seen his mother in days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker said flatly, \"Wouldn’t it be nice to have Grandma and Great-Grandma keep you company from now on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want Mommy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Noah just sniffled. \"Little Uncle, do you not like me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little guy said between hitches of breath, though where he’d heard such a thing was a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do like you,\" Walker said, stroking his head. \"Your mommy’s not feeling well, that’s why you’re staying with Grandma. Don’t you like having Grandma with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"’I do,’ Noah said quietly. ’But I like Mommy more.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just kept asking for his mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce stood to the side, watching with a complicated expression. She despised Sunny Reed, but the woman had given birth to Noah Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Noah has already lost his father. He can’t lose his mother too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The poor child.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Why don’t we have Sunny Reed move into the old manor?
