The man gripped her hand again.
His sharp, dark eyes gave her a deep look, then he turned to Charles Reed. "Dad, I’m the one who upset Chloe by not handling things properly. Let me take care of the rest."
Charles Reed looked displeased as he sat on the sofa. "Just keep spoiling her. She’s getting more and more out of control!"
Walker Grant smiled gently. "She’s my wife. I should dote on her for the rest of her life."
Charles Reed placed the whip on the coffee table.
Autumn Linton took a step forward. "Walker, does your back hurt? Should I put some medicine on it?"
Walker Grant shook his head. "It’s nothing. I’ve already had someone send the gift over. I’m going to head back with Chloe first. If you need anything, just call me anytime."
He gripped Chloe Reed’s hand tightly and headed outside.
They had barely taken two steps before Chloe Reed yanked her hand away.
’She’d been beaten before.’
’She knew exactly how much it hurt.’
’She still remembered that searing pain, the kind that felt like her skin was being ripped apart.’
’But she wasn’t going to be moved just because Walker Grant took two lashes for her.’
’All the storms in her life were because of this man. He deserved to get hit.’
Chloe Reed was forced into Walker Grant’s car.
As the man leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, she suddenly asked a question.
"Have you slept with Sunny Reed?"
The warmth in Walker Grant’s eyes vanished in an instant. "She’s my sister-in-law. Can you stop talking nonsense?"
"As the saying goes, nothing’s tastier than dumplings, and no one’s more fun than a sister-in-law." Chloe Reed blinked slowly. "Is she a lot of fun?"
"But if you haven’t slept with her, then I really can’t understand why you’re so concerned about everything she does."
