Sensing her hesitation, Walker Grant took her by the hand and pulled her down onto the sofa. "You’re cooped up at home all day," he said calmly. "It’s easy to overthink things. Getting out for a while would do you good."
Chloe Reed furrowed her brow. "But is it really a good time to go out?"
Walker Grant nodded. "It’s a good time because I say it is. Go on, pick one. You need to get out and relax. You’re too tense. Besides, it’s not like we’ll be getting any news about Vera Holloway anytime soon."
Chloe Reed lowered her gaze to the brochures in front of her, then opened them to look through them one by one.
There were itineraries for the desert, the grasslands, and even The Primordia Jungle...
After a quick glance, she looked up at him. "Why are all of these so remote?"
"Being close to nature is good for you," Walker Grant said, his lips curving into a smile. "It broadens your horizons and helps you completely unwind."
Chloe Reed looked back at the options, silent for a moment before saying, "Let’s go to the desert, then."
"Alright."
Walker Grant nodded. "I’ll arrange the itinerary. For now, go tell Grandma."
Chloe Reed asked, "Aren’t we taking Grandma and Noah?"
Walker Grant shook his head. "No. Just the two of us."
After a pause, he squeezed her hand. "Can we treat this as a makeup honeymoon? Right after the wedding, I got swamped with work at the company, and we never had a proper one."
Chloe Reed immediately pulled her hand away. "If that’s what you’re thinking," she said coolly, "then forget it. There’s no need to go."
Walker Grant was left speechless.
’A miscalculation.’
’He’d been too rash, blurting out his true intentions like that.’
