Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Blacklist

His large, slender hands wrapped around her foot, kneading it gently. The dull ache was faint, but impossible to ignore.

"Don’t."

Chloe Reed refused, her expression cold.

Walker Grant’s handsome brows knitted together, and his narrow phoenix eyes fixed on her with a dark intensity. "Then what do you suggest?"

Chloe Reed averted her gaze. The dim lighting softened the contours of her profile, but did nothing to thaw her icy demeanor.

"Let’s not talk about it. Things are fine the way they are, with us staying out of each other’s way."

Walker Grant said evenly, "It’s your body that’s unwell. That’s why you’re in pain."

Chloe Reed struggled. "Let go of me! Get another technician. You don’t know what you’re doing."

’It hurt so much!’

Iris Yates sighed. "You haven’t eaten, have you?"

He gritted his teeth, glaring at her foot as if he could bore a hole through it with his eyes.

"Is this enough for you now?"

Iris Yates said with her eyes closed, "It’s passable, I guess."

Nathaniel Monroe: "..."
