Chloe Reed furrowed her brow slightly. "Even if I tried to stop you, would you listen?"

Chloe Reed looked at him suspiciously. "It’s such a simple matter, and you still need to think about it?"

"So, Chloe, in what capacity are you bringing this up with me?" Walker Grant’s expression softened, returning to its usual mildness. "I only listen to my wife."
