How could he believe her?
She had saved him during an earthquake back then. To marry him, she’d been willing to kneel in the pouring rain, and had even agreed to the Grant family’s condition that she couldn’t study abroad.
Her love was fiery and intense, something she never hid. She would always look at him, her smile tinged with a hint of shyness.
All of that had been real.
It was all proof of her love for him.
So, he believed that everything that had happened since the anniversary was just her throwing a tantrum.
All because he hadn’t spent the entire anniversary with her.
But now, as he listened to her say, word by word, that she was done, he simply couldn’t believe it.
He tightened his grip, took a steadying breath, and his voice grew deeper. "Chloe, marriage isn’t child’s play. You can’t just get married on a whim and then expect to get divorced on a whim. Have you forgotten we promised we’d be together for a lifetime?"
Chloe Reed looked at the handsome face before her. She had once loved everything about him, but now he just felt like a stranger.
"A lifetime together, without our own children, without our own lives, just revolving around Sunny Reed and Noah Grant for the rest of our days?" she demanded, her brow furrowed and her eyes full of disbelief.
Noah Grant was already three years old. The time and care Walker devoted to him went far beyond what was expected of an uncle.
And now, he was going to throw his whole life into it?
And he wanted to drag her into it, too?
She suddenly shoved him away, backing up step by step as she shook her head. "In your dreams! Noah Grant is part of your Grant family. If you want to spend your entire life taking care of him, then go ahead! But don’t you dare drag me into it!"
"That’s not my intention," Walker Grant said, reining in his temper. "Once Noah starts elementary school, I’ll step back."
"I’m not okay with that."
Chloe’s attitude remained resolute. "I don’t want you to give him so much as another glance!"
"Chloe Reed!"
