Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Need Me, Rely on Me

Last night, the moment Walker Grant and Chloe Reed entered the market, Walker noticed something was wrong.

Someone was following them.

By the time Chloe Reed felt someone staring at her, the bodyguards had already reported their exact locations to Walker.

Walker had Daniel Hayes covertly protect Chloe, while he went to deal with them himself.

Dealing with a few grunts shouldn’t have required Walker to get involved personally, but he didn’t want those pests to disturb Chloe while she was trying to relax and enjoy the market, so he decided to handle it himself.

Unexpectedly, however, these grunts had come prepared, all of them hiding sharp weapons on their person.

Walker let his guard down for a moment and one of them slashed him across the chest. The wound wasn’t deep, but it was long.

He performed some first aid on the spot, but he was afraid Chloe would notice he was gone and let her imagination run wild, so he and Daniel Hayes quickly cooked up a story.

He was gone for so long mainly because he was getting the wound stitched up.

"..."

After listening to Daniel Hayes’s explanation, Chloe Reed closed her eyes. Her breathing was shaky, and she suddenly recalled the other times he had been injured, covered in blood.

She lowered her eyes and suddenly let out a soft laugh.

Seeing her remain silent, Daniel Hayes couldn’t quite figure out what she was thinking. He asked tentatively, "Miss Chloe, are you... still angry with Mr. Grant for lying to you? He was just afraid of scaring you, that’s all."

"I know."

Chloe said, then lifted her gaze to look at him. "Ever since Vera Holloway started targeting me, has Walker ever been completely unscathed?"

Daniel Hayes fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
