His meaning couldn’t have been more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling’s expression remained placid, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded. \"Mm, you’re right. I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing she was unfazed, Nathaniel Monroe grew anxious. ’Why isn’t Walker here yet?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned and said, \"Sister-in-law, a meal with just two people is so boring. Why don’t I stay and keep you company? It’ll be more lively with me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, Chloe Reed’s brows furrowed slightly. \"I’m afraid that won’t work. My manager and I still have things to discuss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe’s eyes widened. \"You two can have your discussion. I won’t tell anyone, I promise. Sister-in-law, don’t you trust me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded, her expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He wouldn’t tell anyone?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’d turn right around and tell Walker Grant everything!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could she possibly believe him!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as a stunned Nathaniel Monroe was wondering what to do, Owen Sterling, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly started laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe immediately scowled at him. \"What’s so funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling blinked innocently. \"I just heard something amusing. Am I not allowed to laugh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked at Chloe Reed and said with a sigh of resignation, \"This friend of yours is quite bossy, isn’t he? Won’t even let a guy laugh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed, however, replied seriously, \"He’s not my friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law!\" Nathaniel Monroe cried out, agitated. \"How could I not be your friend? I’m heartbroken that you’d say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his exaggerated performance, Chloe Reed’s eyes remained exceptionally clear and her tone was mild. \"Since the day we met, you’ve only ever called me ’Sister-in-law.’ You’ve never once used my name. What kind of friends are we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Nathaniel Monroe couldn’t help but rub his nose in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, that’s just how it was.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He met Walker Grant first, and Chloe Reed second.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course he had to call her Sister-in-law.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, looking into Chloe Reed’s clear eyes, he somehow found he couldn’t meet her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Owen Sterling stood up. \"I’m about finished. Shall we go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe had no reason to follow them now. He watched the scene unfold with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling paid the bill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sister-in-law actually agreed to have a meal with another man!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Walker is in deep trouble!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrambled to pull out his phone and call Walker Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone rang three times before it was answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Walker, listen, I just saw Sister-in-law, and she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, a man’s cool, even voice came through the line, and then the call was disconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe stared blankly at his phone. ’How did Walker know?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but scratch his head, troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Walker and Sister-in-law used to be so in love.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How did things get to this point?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the car, Owen Sterling glanced at Chloe Reed’s face. \"He told you to be wary of me. What do you think about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed started the car. \"I am being wary,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Talk about blunt.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed glanced at him, the corners of her lips turning up in a smile. \"But I’m sure Manager Owen isn’t the kind of person to have ulterior motives, like he suggested. Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling’s lips twitched. \"Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked away. \"So, we don’t need to pay any mind to what he said. Manager Owen, where do you live?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling gave her an address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car headed in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they hadn’t gotten far before Chloe Reed realized she was being followed.\u003C\u002Fp>",615,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b5d7c9c002dbe3cfe4362d1f9f0b4ee4460cd73609cf23f76c1c68abf9ea97d","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-164","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-162",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
