After dinner, Chloe Reed showed no intention of leaving. Judith Pierce kept her talking, and everything seemed perfectly normal.
Walker Grant sat to the side, reaching up to press his temples. A wave of heat rose from his lower abdomen. The feeling came on slowly, yet inexorably, just as it did when he was with Chloe Reed.
His gaze uncontrollably fell upon her, drifting from her face down the rest of her body.
’They were husband and wife; anything they did was normal.’
He spoke, his voice taking on a husky edge. "Chloe, the wound on my shoulder feels a little uncomfortable. Can you take a look for me?"
At his words, Judith Pierce gently patted Chloe Reed’s hand and said, "Go on. Walker was injured because of you. You should check and see if his wound has healed properly."
"Mm."
Chloe Reed didn’t refuse. She got up, walked to his side, and leaned over to take his arm.
Walker Grant took the opportunity to rise, immediately wrapping an arm around her waist.
The burning warmth of his large palm pressed against her side, seeping through the fabric of her clothes.
’She understood. The soup he drank was taking effect.’
She lowered her gaze and started up the stairs.
Their room was on the second floor. Because of Madam Grant, she rarely spent the night at the Grant Family Estate.
She was very unfamiliar with their marital bedroom here.
The moment she pushed open the bedroom door, Walker Grant’s hot breath fell on her cheek.
His thin lips kissed her gently. "Chloe..."
He murmured her name, his voice husky and lingering.
Chloe Reed said, "I just remembered, I forgot to get something I have for you. Wait a moment, I’ll go downstairs and grab it."
But Walker Grant kept his arm around her, unwilling to let go. "What is it? You can get it later."
He bent his head, trying to kiss her on the lips.
Chloe Reed turned her head to dodge him and said, "No. It’s a gift for you. Don’t you want it?"
’A gift for him...’
