The one blindfolded was Nathaniel Monroe, and whoever he caught had to grant him one wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his party, so he made the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, why’d it get so quiet? You troublemakers have been messing with me this whole time. Just wait till I catch one of you—I’ll make you pay big time,\" Nathaniel Monroe said, a blindfold covering his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the room fall silent, he grinned and swung an inflatable bat around wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, it connected with someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotcha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe immediately reached out and grabbed the person’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He yanked off his blindfold, still chuckling. \"Let’s see, what should I make you get me? I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish, his eyes fell on the person he had caught, and he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ch-Chloe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had grabbed Chloe Reed’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snatched his hand back as if he’d been shocked. \"When did you get here? Seriously, you guys? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I would have gone to meet you at the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked at him coolly. \"In the past, I’d get you a gift for your birthday, and you’d always invite me ahead of time. What’s different this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe’s eyes darted around as he stammered, \"I-I was going to call you, but Walker said you were injured and resting at home, so I shouldn’t bother you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded slowly, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room. \"Where’s Walker Grant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe also looked around, scratching his head in confusion. \"He was just here a minute ago. Did anyone see where Walker went?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl pointed outside. \"I think Mr. Grant went out to the garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed walked straight out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl whispered to her friend, \"I just saw Sunny Reed take Noah Grant outside, too. What do you think is going on with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Grant dotes on Noah Grant like he’s the apple of his eye. He probably just went out to play with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off. Do you think... could Noah Grant be Mr. Grant’s son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hushed conversation was cut short as they instinctively glanced toward the glass doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Chloe Reed’s figure pause for a fraction of a second before she continued outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just outside was a massive swimming pool. Lights illuminated its surface, the water shimmering and crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short distance away was a small garden, beautifully landscaped with a rockery and a pavilion. Three figures—two adults and a child—were sitting inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her angle, she could see Walker Grant gazing at Sunny Reed, listening intently to whatever she was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed walked toward them, one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of her heels reached them, and they all turned to look at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed instinctively stood up, putting some distance between herself and Walker Grant. She offered a smile. \"Chloe, is your injury feeling any better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s brow furrowed, however. He watched her approach in high heels, his gaze sweeping over her knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s only been a few days?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is she so careless with her own body?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing her, Noah Grant shrank back timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s gaze moved slowly from one of them to the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she looked at Walker Grant. \"We’re getting a divorce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy chill radiated from Walker Grant. \"How did you get out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh... so he won’t agree to a divorce.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed walked right up to Sunny Reed, grabbed her arm, and dragged her straight to the edge of the pool. Then, pulling her along, she jumped in.\u003C\u002Fp>",626,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","f587350c84b21ba7cec1098d7e444e044cda96b3802283b6921790c02864c357","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-19","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-17",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
