Sunny Reed’s alarmed voice rang out. "Walker, are you okay?"
Walker Grant’s expression soured. He stared at the car’s taillights until they vanished from sight.
Sunny Reed said with a look of self-reproach, "I should have just waited upstairs for my sister. If we had gone to see Noah together, she wouldn’t have misunderstood."
Walker Grant averted his gaze, his handsome face impassive. "Get in the car first."
"Okay."
"..."
Chloe Reed felt her luck today was absolutely terrible!
’Next time, I absolutely, *absolutely* have to check for a more auspicious day before leaving the house!’
Not long after she drove off, the car’s engine suddenly died. It stopped by the roadside, immediately causing a traffic jam. She got out, braving the rain to check the front and back of the car, but couldn’t find what was wrong.
She looked around, bewildered, only to see Walker Grant’s car driving by at that very moment.
She gritted her teeth and waved at his car.
’Maybe he can take a look and see what’s wrong with my car.’
But to her surprise, the car didn’t even slow down. It drove right past her.
Chloe Reed’s arm froze in midair. Rain pelted down on her, chilling her to the bone.
Her eyes were dazed, but more than that, they were filled with disbelief.
’That bastard.’
’He saw me like this and just ignored me?’
Chloe Reed bit her lip, wiped her face, and got back into her car, retracting her gaze. She then dialed the number for a repair shop.
By the time she hung up, she had calmed down.
’Why did I even have to ask him for help?’
’Why didn’t I just make the call in the first place?’
’What hope was I still holding out for him?’
The look in Chloe Reed’s eyes grew colder and colder, finally settling into a calm resolve.
