Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Why Don’t You Live with Mom?

The coldness on Walker Grant’s face vanished when he saw the boy. His features softened, and he beckoned to him. "Noah, come here."

Noah Grant walked over and immediately hugged his leg. "Uncle, are you sad?"

The little boy tilted his head up to look at him, asking in a soft voice. His pitch-black eyes shone brightly.

He bore a strong resemblance to Walker’s older brother, Julian Grant. Seeing that face, Walker couldn’t help but think of his brother.

His older brother had a calm, steady personality, whereas Walker himself had been very mischievous as a child. He had once run off to play, and his brother was the one who had found him. Unfortunately, a gang had been watching the Grant family. Seeing the brothers alone, they had kidnapped them.

They were held captive for three days.

They only got one meal a day. His older brother would give him the single steamed bun, and he’d give him any water they received as well.

When the kidnappers had tried to drag him out for a whipping, his older brother had shielded him with his own body.

To this day, he could still hear those pained, muffled groans.

"Uncle?"

Noah Grant called out again when he didn’t answer.

"I’m not sad." Walker Grant snapped out of his reverie, his gaze softening even more as he looked at the boy.

"It’s so late. Why are you still at the hospital?"

Noah Grant glanced subconsciously toward the door before saying, "You were sad, so I was worried about you."

Walker Grant patted his head. "I’m fine. It’s late, so you should go home. And remember to listen to your mother."

But Noah Grant didn’t leave. He kept hugging Walker’s leg, his voice muffled. "Uncle, all the other kids have dads. Why don’t I have one?"

"Your dad was a great hero." Walker Grant’s voice grew strained. "You can’t see him, but he’s always by your side, protecting you."

"But I want a dad who’s here with me." Noah Grant pressed his small face against Walker’s leg. "Uncle, can you be my daddy? I want a daddy to be with me, too."

"Yeah."

Walker Grant closed his eyes, clearly unwilling to speak any further.

Sunny Reed had no choice but to leave with Noah Grant in her arms.

The door to the hospital room clicked shut. Walker Grant’s brows furrowed as he opened his eyes. He pulled out his phone and made a call. "Have a word with Noah’s nanny. I want to know everything Sunny Reed has been saying to him."

...

Chloe Reed and Iris Yates went to a hot pot restaurant. While waiting in line for a table, they happened to run into Miles Hawthorne.

"Chloe Reed, what a coincidence. Fancy meeting you again." A smile played on Miles Hawthorne’s lips as he walked toward her.

Chloe Reed’s expression, however, was frosty. "What do you want?"

’He’s Walker Grant’s friend, and he’d taken Walker’s side. She was in no mood to deal with him!’
