Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Judith Pierce started crying the moment she hugged the child, leaving him utterly bewildered. His big eyes were full of confusion, and his small hands scrambled to wipe away her tears.

"Grandma, don’t cry. Don’t be sad. Don’t cry."

This scene made Judith Pierce even more emotional. She hugged little Noah tightly, then, feeling she was losing control, she quickly said, "Noah, don’t be scared. Grandma just missed you so, so much."

Noah wrapped his arms around her neck. "I missed Grandma too."

His singsong, childish voice and innocent words were like a knife twisting in Judith Pierce’s heart.

Her heart filled with an even deeper hatred for Sunny Reed.

’So vicious!’

’How could anyone be so cruel to such a sweet, well-behaved child!’

’And he was her own son, too!’

Judith Pierce released him. "Grandma is going to go wash her face. I’ll be back to play with you in a little while."

"Okay!"

Little Noah nodded emphatically.

Then, he looked toward the people who had just entered, and his voice danced with excitement. "Little Uncle, Little Aunt!"

He spread his arms and wiggled, wanting a hug from Walker, but a nearby maid held him in place.

"Young Master, please don’t squirm. Sir is coming right over."

"What’s wrong with Little Uncle’s eyes?" Noah asked, pointing to his own eyes in confusion.

Leaning on Chloe Reed for support, Walker had reached the sofa. He reached out until his hand found Noah Grant, then he ruffled his hair. "My eyes are hurt, so I can’t see for a while," he said. "Will Noah protect his little uncle?"

"Yes!"

Noah’s voice rose in volume. "I’m a big boy now! I’ll protect Little Uncle!"

Then he turned his head to Chloe Reed. "And Little Aunt, too."

Chloe Reed gazed at his innocent, delicate little face. His eyes and brows were very similar to Julian Grant’s, and just as similar to Walker’s.

His personality was no longer withdrawn and fussy; instead, he was full of a child’s natural innocence and energy.

Away from Sunny Reed, he was growing happier and more willing to express himself.

She reached out and patted his head.

Noah’s eyes lit up. Tilting his little body, he dove right into Chloe Reed’s arms.

Chloe Reed couldn’t help but stiffen.

Her hand froze in mid-air.

The butler chuckled from the side. "It seems the Young Master has missed you."

"Yes, yes," Noah nodded from within Chloe Reed’s embrace. "I missed Little Aunt so, so much."

He hugged her with all his might. "Missed Little Aunt."

Chloe Reed remained stiff. After a moment, she reached out and tugged on Walker’s hand.

A faint smile touched Walker’s lips. He promptly pulled Noah Grant onto his lap. "How come you never get this clingy with me? Did you really miss me, or are you just faking it?"

Chloe Reed immediately stood up and distanced herself.

Fiona Linton had already done a full tour of the villa, inside and out. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Chloe, your house is huge! And it’s gorgeous! I love it!"

Chloe Reed typed on her phone, and a cold, electronic female voice spoke out: "If you like it, stay as long as you want."

"Hehe, that was exactly my plan," Fiona Linton said without a hint of modesty. "So, where’s my room?"

The butler replied, "This way, please."

"Alright, alright."

Fiona Linton went to see her room. It was a large suite on the first floor, and her luggage was already inside.

After looking around, Fiona Linton came out of the room just in time to see Judith Pierce emerging from the restroom, her eyes red.
