Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Walker Grant frowned. ”What are you talking about?”

Sunny Reed reached up to wipe away a tear, her expression stubborn. ”You were the one who said you’d repay me. You pulled strings to help me start a company, so why did you all pull out just because Chloe told you not to? To keep Chloe from misunderstanding me again, I’ve even been avoiding her. Why are you still doing this to me?”

She continued her tirade, then burst into tears again.

Noah, in her arms, hugged her. ”Mommy, don’t cry, don’t cry...”

Walker Grant’s tone was flat. ”The Reed Group may have pulled its funding, but I haven’t. The company will be fine. There’s no need to cause such a scene.”

But Sunny Reed just gave a bitter laugh. ”She convinced your parents to pull their funding. How long until you do the same? Walker Grant, I don’t know why she insists on misunderstanding me, but I swear, I only ever loved your older brother, Julian Grant. If I ever betrayed him, may I die a horrible death!”

She sounded like a true victim, her every word an indictment of their cruelty.

She took a deep breath and said, ”I don’t want to wait for that humiliating day to come. So, I’ll take Noah and leave. Is it not enough for me to just stay far, far away from you all?”

With that, she told the driver, ”Drive. To the airport.”

But the driver didn’t dare move. The car in front was blocking the way—how was he supposed to go anywhere?

Suddenly, Walker Grant walked over.

Sunny Reed grew tense. ”Walker Grant, what are you doing?”

He pulled open the rear car door and snatched Noah Grant out.

”Mommy, Mommy!”

Noah Grant started to struggle, reaching his hands out toward Sunny Reed.

Walker Grant held him tight, his voice turning cold. ”Noah Grant, do not cry!”

Noah shuddered, looking fearfully at his uncle.

Walker Grant then turned to Sunny Reed. ”You want to leave? Fine. But Noah stays. He is my older brother’s son, and he belongs with the Grant family.”

With that, he turned to leave.

”No! That’s my son! Give my son back to me!” Sunny Reed’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She scrambled out of the car and charged recklessly toward Walker Grant.

There wasn’t much traffic on this road, but that didn’t mean it was empty. At that exact moment, a car came speeding toward them.

”Walker!”

Judith Pierce saw what was happening and cried out, warning Walker Grant to dodge the oncoming car.

Walker Grant reacted quickly, but Sunny Reed had already reached his side. She saw the car and, on instinct, shoved him out of the way.

The car struck her, sending her tumbling across the ground.

When her body finally came to a stop, she didn’t have the strength to even move.

”Don’t... take my son...”

She managed to force the words out before spitting up a mouthful of blood.

”Mommy!”

「The hospital.」

Judith Pierce held Noah Grant, her face etched with exhaustion. ”Walker, what is this all about, funding a company for Sunny Reed?”

Walker Grant’s expression was grim. Sunny Reed had just saved him again. In a low voice, he explained the situation with the company to Judith Pierce.

After listening, Judith Pierce said, ”Chloe was in the wrong here. She’s far too domineering. That was her parents’ decision to make, so how could she interfere like that?”

Although she didn’t like Sunny Reed, she wouldn’t have made a fuss over something as trivial as starting a company.

She felt that Chloe Reed was being far too petty.

Walker Grant remained silent.

Judith Pierce handed Noah Grant to him, saying, ”I’m going to find Chloe. She needs to stop meddling in this.”

With that, she turned to leave.

”Mom.”

Walker Grant’s brow furrowed. ”Don’t make things more chaotic right now.”

But Judith Pierce retorted, ”If it hadn’t been for Sunny Reed, you two would have been hit by that car! What if something had happened to Noah? He’s your older brother’s only child! I have to find Chloe and tell her to stop targeting Sunny Reed.”
