He stared at her face, his gaze landing on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was calm now, but her lips were still pale, lacking their usual striking, rosy hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly leaned in and kissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe’s pupils constricted as she reached out to push him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his kiss was sudden and fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He toyed with her lips, and when she gasped in surprise, he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assaulted her senses, stealing her breath and her sweet taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their breaths tangled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, he finally released her. Seeing her lips, now rosy and delicate, the fire in his chest seemed to quell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe’s eyes reddened with fury, and she raised her hand to hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he caught her wrist with ease, pulling it down and pinning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, I’m not divorcing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay down beside her again, his nose gently brushing against her cheek. \"You’re the one who promised to spend the rest of your life with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe closed her eyes, her lashes trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ache bloomed in her chest, a bitter, suffocating feeling that made her want to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t slept well the night before, and after everything that had happened today, the moment her mind relaxed, a tide of exhaustion washed over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell asleep quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker listened to her steady breathing, his dark eyes as deep and thick as ink. Tinged with a lingering tenderness, he gazed at her, entranced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the nightstand drawer and took out an exquisite red velvet box. He opened it, removed the ring inside, and took her hand, sliding it onto her ring finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their wedding ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside was engraved with their initials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could she sell it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t allow the ring that belonged only to them to end up in anyone else’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her fair, slender fingers wearing the wedding ring again, his expression softened.

After sleeping for several hours, her body had finally processed the lingering fear from the afternoon’s ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a little dazed. In her groggy state, she seemed to remember the feeling of something being slipped onto her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held out her hands to look. Both were bare; there was no ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe frowned slightly. ’Then why did I have that feeling?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was no longer beside her. She sat up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, her cell phone rang. It was only then that she noticed he had placed it on the nightstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe picked up her phone and saw it was a call from Preston Vance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Mr. Vance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe answered, her words coming out instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance gave a wry laugh. \"Were you that scared by what happened this afternoon? So much so that you’re reconsidering our relationship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe was momentarily confused, then replied, \"No... I honestly hadn’t thought about it that much. It’s just a habit to call you that, and it’s hard to break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I won’t push it,\" Preston Vance said with concern, his tone tinged with self-reproach. \"How are you? Were you frightened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe said, \"I’m fine. It’s just... who was that? Why did they want to hurt you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance replied, \"Some old enemies from my time abroad. When they can’t beat me head-on, they resort to these kinds of insidious tactics. I’m so sorry. You were almost hurt because of me. I promise nothing like this will ever happen again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",632,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","8819f5597626a919d9fe9c881d82d79abeb983ea24d1ae3aff5210934774bddc","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-193","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-191",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
