Walker Grant’s dark eyes stared intently at her. "Have you forgotten what I told you before? I investigated his background information. He’s highly suspicious. How can you still think it’s a coincidence?"
Chloe Reed averted her gaze and said nothing for a long moment.
"Noah, are you done with the photos?"
Walker looked at the little boy and asked calmly.
Noah nodded. "Yeah, I took a lot. Uncle Walker, take a look."
He ran over and handed his phone to Walker.
Walker scrolled through them, his lips curving into a slight smile. "Very nice. As a reward, you don’t have to do your homework tonight."
"I don’t mind doing my homework," Noah said earnestly. "Can I ask for a different reward?"
Walker looked at him, surprised. "What reward do you want?"
Noah looked a little shy, but he said it anyway. "I want you to come home every day, Uncle."
The little boy had friends to keep him company at kindergarten, but back at the old family house, there was no family besides the maids and the butler.
He still missed his mom, but no matter how much he thought of her, she never appeared. So he started to miss his uncle. At least his uncle always showed up.
Seeing the boy’s anxious gaze, Walker’s heart suddenly softened. "Alright. I promise."
Noah immediately broke into a happy smile, but then he seemed to think of something and looked timidly at Chloe. "Can you and Uncle come home together, Auntie, okay?"
Chloe gave him a cool look. "You don’t like me. You don’t have to deliberately try to please me."
"That’s not it." Noah shook his head. "I don’t dislike you."
He blinked. "You’re the one who doesn’t like me."
Chloe: "..."
