Uncle, I want Mommy... Mommy... WAHH...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker took Noah from her and carried him upstairs, asking gently, \"Noah, did you finish your homework for today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F-finished...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah Grant wiped his eyes, but tears kept streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped his arms around Walker’s neck and asked, \"Uncle, when is Mommy coming back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker, however, didn’t answer his question. Instead, he said, \"Where’s your homework? I haven’t checked it yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah Grant immediately grew tense. He wriggled out of Walker’s arms, scurried over to his small desk, and held out his notebook for Walker to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the little boy just stood there, hiccuping with sobs, not daring to cry out loud anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little boy was in preschool, and his class didn’t have homework. But Walker gave him assignments to distract him and to develop his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he finished it and did a good job, there was a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did poorly, there was a punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Noah, who was just over three, a smack on the palm of his hand was the most severe punishment he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was terrified of the smacks, so he always completed the homework his uncle assigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker nodded. \"Mm, this is very good. As a reward, Noah can have one piece of candy today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s eyes instantly lit up. He took the candy, and just like that, he stopped crying and calling for his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker patiently played with him for a long time, gave him a bath, and tucked him into bed until he fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the boy, whose eyes and brows so resembled his older brother’s, a flicker of warmth softened Walker’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was out of the room, his cold gaze swept over a nearby nanny. \"Bring every nanny who was on duty with Noah today to me,\" he commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six nannies were assigned to Noah, each responsible for a different aspect of his life: his meals, clothing, daily routine, play, and learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker watched the surveillance footage on his computer, seeing with perfect clarity what each nanny did with Noah Grant and everything they said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, he turned to one of the nannies, who had kept her head bowed the entire time. \"Do you have something to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nanny flinched and shook her head instinctively. \"N-no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you bring up his mother with Noah?\" Walker asked, his tone frigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nanny bit her lip, but she raised her head and spoke. \"Second Young Master, Noah is just a child. He needs his parents. He’s already lost his father; he can’t lose his mother, too. Otherwise, his childhood will be incomplete, flawed even. Second Young Master, my heart just aches for him. Can’t you please bring the Young Mistress back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How very charitable of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile suddenly touched Walker’s lips. \"In that case, I’ll send you to Gondara. There are so many children there without parents. Why don’t you go and be a mother to them? How does that sound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, the color drained from the nanny’s face. \"Second Young Master, I... I was wrong! It was a moment of foolishness, please, forgive me this once! I’ll never do it again, I swear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker just said, \"Noah was crying his eyes out. He’s so small. What if he had cried himself sick? For that, I will not forgive you. And I will not give you another chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called for his bodyguards, who came in and dragged the nanny away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker turned to the others. \"Does anyone else have something to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining nannies were thoroughly terrified. They knew not to meddle and simply said, \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",656,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","2d8c6b6d0df6e9b1e8f225a0fdffbaa132641d8d19e1b88f64ca6e35ce10e083","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-374","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-372",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
