Chloe Reed was annoyed, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. She gave Walker Grant a cold look and said, "None of that matters. We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Now."
Walker Grant’s cool gaze swept over Dylan Finch before he said a few words to the person beside him. Then, he walked toward his office.
He ignored Chloe.
Her expression darkened, and she followed him straight into the office.
"Walker Grant, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to go back on your word?"
She confronted him the moment the door was shut.
Walker picked up the coffee cup from his desk and took a sip. Then he looked up, his long, pitch-black phoenix eyes regarding her without a trace of warmth.
"Surely you don’t think I’m deliberately dragging this out because I still have feelings for you, do you?"
An inexplicable tightness gripped Chloe’s chest, but she just raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Aren’t you? I waited three hours for you yesterday. Why can’t you wait a little longer for me today?"
"My time is valuable," Walker said.
Chloe sneered. "Then may I ask the busy Mr. Grant if you have time now to get a divorce?"
Walker walked toward her, step by step. His tall figure brought with it a familiar scent that slowly enveloped her as he drew closer.
She watched him, her expression calm.
"I can’t possibly still have feelings for someone who repeatedly tried to push me onto other women," Walker said in a low, gentle voice, stopping in front of her.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Chloe said.
"But I don’t have time right now," Walker said, his expression unchanging. "I have a business trip coming up. I’ll be back in a week."
A flicker of fury appeared in Chloe’s eyes. "You..."
But before she could voice her accusation, he cut in. "After all, I was in the hospital for a long time after my injury. A lot of work got delayed, and I need to take care of it first."
Chloe fell silent.
Walker’s dark eyes were fixed on her, taking in every shift in her expression. "You’re not in a hurry to get married, are you? If not, let’s just handle this when I get back."
Chloe: "..."
