Chapter 124: Chapter 124: None of Your Business

Sunny Reed froze for a moment. Her gaze swept across the dining hall, and she quickly spotted Chloe Reed sitting by the window.

She was having a meal with a man.

Sunny Reed raised an eyebrow, then followed Walker Grant over to them.

Chloe Reed, of course, saw him, but she pretended she hadn’t.

She lowered her gaze and quietly continued to eat.

"Miles Hawthorne."

But Walker Grant walked right over, sat down at the table next to theirs, and greeted Miles Hawthorne. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Miles Hawthorne turned around, looking surprised. "Hey, you’re eating here too? And this is...?"

His eyes landed on Noah in Walker Grant’s arms.

"My older brother’s son," Walker Grant said calmly.

"Hello, sir."

Noah greeted Miles Hawthorne politely.

Then, he looked at Chloe Reed. He seemed a little scared, but he still spoke up. "Hello, Auntie."

Miles Hawthorne suddenly burst out laughing.

Walker Grant, however, frowned. "That’s not how you greet her. You call me your younger uncle, so you should call her your younger aunt."

Noah didn’t understand why, but he nodded obediently. "Hello, Younger Aunt."

Chloe Reed glanced at him coolly. "You’re not scared of me anymore?"

Noah instinctively shrank back into Walker Grant’s arms.

Walker Grant’s gaze fell on her, his eyes hardening. "Stop scaring the kid."

"Hah."

Chloe Reed let out a cold laugh.

Then, she looked at the three people at the next table and said to Miles Hawthorne, "Look at them. Don’t they look just like a family?"

Miles Hawthorne actually took a close look, then nodded. "They do."

Walker Grant shot him a chilling glare. "You got a death wish?"

Miles Hawthorne chuckled. "I’m not making it up. The three of you could easily be mistaken for a family out on the street. Besides, the kid looks so much like you. If you didn’t tell people he’s your nephew, who would know? He looks like your biological son, plain and simple."

"Alright, that’s enough," Walker Grant said, frowning. "You’re getting more and more ridiculous."

He placed Noah on a chair, then asked, "Why are you two together?"

Chloe Reed’s reply was barbed. "None of your damn business."

Miles Hawthorne gave her a thumbs-up.

Sunny Reed quickly interjected from the side, "Chloe, don’t get the wrong idea. Walker and I just ran into each other."

Chloe remained cold. "Like I give a damn."

Sunny Reed flushed with embarrassment, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

But Walker Grant just watched Chloe Reed, his eyes dark and inscrutable. In a deceptively mild tone, he said, "Don’t you feel even a shred of guilt?"

Chloe’s expression instantly turned cold. Then, she let out a mocking laugh. "Nope. What are you going to do? Kill me?"

The moment they clashed, the air grew thick with tension.

Seeing this, Miles Hawthorne quickly stepped in. "Whoa, whoa, let’s not. Killing someone is illegal, you know. Both of you, just calm down. You were a couple for eight years, for crying out loud. Can’t you be a little more civil?"

Walker Grant ignored him, his gaze still fixed on Chloe Reed, so intense it was as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Chloe Reed had lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Miles Hawthorne. "I’m heading out. Just contact me later about it."

Miles Hawthorne nodded. "Alright."

Chloe Reed got up and walked away, her steps quick, as if she were trying to escape from someone.

Miles Hawthorne turned to look at Walker Grant, about to say something, but saw him get up and follow her.

He raised an eyebrow, then looked away and leisurely went back to eating.

At that moment, however, Sunny Reed asked, "You just got back in the country, what business would you have with Chloe? I remember you have a team of lawyers, don’t you? Did she ask you to help her with the divorce case?"
