Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Wash the Washboard Clean, and Kneel on It

At the sight, Chloe Reed frowned.

The driver asked, "Where to?"

Chloe Reed was silent for a moment before giving the name of her apartment complex.

The driver glanced at her, then at Walker Grant in the passenger seat. "Are you two having a lover’s quarrel?"

Chloe Reed turned away to look out the window, not bothering to answer.

Instead, it was Walker Grant who answered, "I’m trying to make it up to her."

The driver immediately burst out laughing. "Young man, you’ve got to be sincere when you’re making up with your wife. You need to have the right attitude."

Walker Grant looked at the driver. "And how do I do that?"

The driver was even more amused. "Are you two newlyweds? Do I really have to teach you this? It’s not that hard! Can you cook? Make her favorite meal. Then, get a washboard, wash it clean, and kneel on it right in front of her. Don’t talk back, don’t resist. Just keep admitting you were wrong."

Walker Grant listened with the utmost seriousness.

Chloe Reed squeezed her eyes shut.

’Kneel?’

’In his dreams!’

’If Walker Grant were to kneel, he wouldn’t be Walker Grant!’

’He might seem easygoing, but he’s incredibly proud.’

’Plus, he’s extremely stubborn. Once he’s made up his mind, he never goes back on his decision.’

’So, he would never, ever think he was the one at fault.’

Chloe Reed treated it all as a joke.

They soon arrived at the entrance to the complex. Chloe Reed got out of the car without a single glance back.

Seeing this, the driver chuckled. "Looks like you really pissed your wife off. She won’t even look at you. You’ve got to step up your game."

"Mm, I will."

Walker Grant agreed, then immediately took out his phone to scan the payment code.

WeChat payment received: 10,000 yuan!

The driver was stunned when he heard the payment notification.

"Whoa, you paid way too much!"

Walker Grant got out of the car and said calmly, "Thank you for sharing."

Then he headed into the complex.

The driver was utterly gobsmacked. He’d earned ten thousand yuan for just a few sentences!

After a long moment, the driver pulled out his phone and made a call. "Hey, honey? Let’s go get some barbecue."

"..."

With his height and long legs, Walker Grant quickly caught up to Chloe Reed.

The two of them entered the elevator together. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Chloe Reed pulled out her phone, refusing to even look in his direction.

Walker Grant, however, made a call, his voice low as he gave an order. "Bring the medicine over."

Then, he looked at Chloe Reed. "You have to apply medicine to the injury on your back regularly. If you don’t, it’ll scar."

At his words, Chloe Reed’s lovely brows knitted together.

’The wound on her back had been itching, but it was still tolerable. If it scarred, though, that would be ugly.’

She glanced up at him. "Why are you following me?"

"I’m going to apply your medicine."

Walker Grant’s handsome eyes stared at her intently. "You can’t reach your back by yourself."

But Chloe Reed retorted, "I can ask someone else. I don’t need you."

"I won’t allow anyone else to do it," Walker Grant said, his voice low and firm.

Just then, the elevator doors opened. Chloe Reed, her expression cold, stalked out, quickly unlocked her apartment door, and slipped inside, intending to shut Walker Grant out.

But he seemed to have anticipated her move. He shot out a hand, caught the edge of the door, and pushed it back open with little effort.

Chloe Reed was about to lose her mind!

’Why is this man so damn persistent!’

’She had tried pleading, she had tried insulting, she had even tried getting physical, but he remained completely unfazed.’

’She was completely out of options!’

The blatant impatience on her face made Walker Grant’s chest tighten with a suffocating feeling.

He said, "You can’t take a shower yet. Wait until the scab has fallen off."

"Stop telling me what to do!"

Chloe Reed stared at him in exasperation. "Why do you keep hovering over me?! Don’t you have your own life to live? Walker Grant, just go! I’m begging you! Go find Sunny Reed! Go find Noah Grant! I promise I won’t be mad!"
