On their fourth wedding anniversary, Chloe Reed asked Walker Grant for a divorce.
"Just because I spent our anniversary with my sister-in-law instead of you, you want a divorce?"
Walker Grant furrowed his brow in confusion. "Chloe, we’ve been in love for eight years."
Chloe hummed. "There are many reasons, but for now, this is the one."
The previous night, she had the housekeeper prepare a nice meal, bought fresh flowers and a gift, and was ready to spend a romantic anniversary evening with Walker Grant.
It had been their tradition for the four years of their marriage, celebrating every anniversary just like this.
Chloe had even changed into the new lingerie she’d bought for the occasion.
But just as she was taking it off, Walker Grant’s phone rang.
A woman’s crying came from the other end of the line.
Walker immediately stopped what he was doing, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom.
As the sound of running water started, Chloe lay on the bed, her skin flushed.
When Walker came out, she asked, "Do you have to go?"
Walker was already buttoning his shirt, his handsome, sharp-featured face looking grave. "Noah has a fever. I’m just going to go check on him. I’ll be back soon."
He left as soon as he said it, but Chloe never saw him come back that night.
She waited up until the early hours of the morning, when she got a text from Sunny Reed.
It was a picture of Walker Grant at the hospital, holding Noah Grant on a hospital bed. His expression was gentle and focused, as if he were looking at his own son.
