Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Chapter 653: I Don’t Want to Be Separated From You

Walker Grant hugged her again, his breath ghosting around her. "I know," he murmured, "but I just don’t want to be apart from you."

Chloe Reed fell silent.

"You finally agreed to stay, and I don’t want to waste a single second of it," Walker Grant continued.

Chloe Reed lowered her gaze slightly, her long lashes fluttering. She then reached for his hand again, wanting to write on it.

But Walker Grant didn’t let her, saying, "Let me hold you a little longer. You and he are going to find Fiona Linton, and who knows how many days you’ll be gone. I won’t be able to feel you near me for so long."

Chloe Reed’s heart skipped a beat. She closed her eyes, flustered for a moment by the emotions swelling within her.

She simply went still, letting him hold her as she silently tried to calm the turmoil in her heart.

After some time, a knock came at the door.

"KNOCK KNOCK!"

Walker Grant’s tone was laced with annoyance. "Who is it?"

Dylan Finch cleared his throat. "Mr. Grant, it’s me."

Walker Grant sounded even more irritated. "Have you come up with a plan?"
