Walker Grant’s expression remained indifferent, his gaze occasionally drifting to the antique clock on the wall.
Judith Pierce didn’t mind his cold demeanor. She was just worried about his well-being, so she spoke again, "Walker, I know you can’t let go of Chloe Reed, but it’s over between you two. She doesn’t love you anymore. You should let her go."
"Who says I can’t let her go?"
The man who had been silent finally spoke, his tone tinged with sarcasm as a chilling iciness radiated from him.
Upon hearing this, Judith Pierce was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile. "It’s for the best that you can let go. I’m glad you’ve come to terms with it. There are so many women out there; you’ll meet someone you love sooner or later. Now that you’ve seen things clearly, I’m not worried anymore."
Walker Grant said nothing more after that single sentence.
Judith Pierce glanced at the time and said, "Walker, I have to go."
"Mm."
This time, Walker Grant showed a slight reaction, looking at her. "Travel safely."
"Okay."
Judith Pierce turned and left the Grant Family Estate.
The second hand on the antique clock ticked steadily onward, and the minute hand crept slowly forward.
Walker Grant sat in the silent living room for a long time before rising and heading upstairs.
The nanny was looking after Noah Grant.
He was taking his afternoon nap and hadn’t heard the commotion downstairs at all.
Walker Grant sat on the edge of the bed, watching the sleeping little boy intently. After a long moment, a flicker of helplessness crossed his eyes.
He arranged for two more nannies to take care of Noah Grant.
Noah was now old enough for kindergarten; he could start next month.
’Once he’s busy, he won’t even remember that his mother exists.’
Having arranged everything, Walker Grant got in his car and headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau.
But just then, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw it was a call from his bodyguard.
"Hello?"
