I got a vasectomy because I don’t want you to suffer. I saw the pain Sunny Reed went through when she gave birth, and I don’t want you to experience that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had told her this a month ago, she might have believed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had learned too much in the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent Sunny Reed’s entire pregnancy with her, cared for Noah Grant, and his heart was entirely with that mother and son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, to learn he’d had a vasectomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only conclude that he had done it for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hair dryer whirred to life, and Chloe’s voice cut through the noise. \"Divorce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s hands didn’t stop. His long, slender fingers threaded through her hair, drying her long locks bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands clenched into tight fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could he still put on this act of a gentle, doting husband after everything he’d done to hurt her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Isn’t he exhausted?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snatched the hair dryer, her clear eyes now frigid. \"I said, divorce!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hair dryer was thrown to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein throbbed on Walker Grant’s temple, his handsome, sharp features frosting over. \"I do everything for you, and you still want to cause a scene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You motherfucker, get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed couldn’t take it anymore and just cursed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even want to argue with him; she just felt a profound sense of powerlessness and sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s already made his choice. How can he still claim it was for her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her like this, a dangerous glint flashed in Walker Grant’s dark eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He loomed over her, looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You insist on a divorce?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Chloe Reed’s eyes were red.

The slam startled him, and he almost dropped the soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker, is Chloe alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant was radiating a furious energy, his expression dark and cold. He was still soaking wet, and he ran a hand back through his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s just fine. Still has the energy to act up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe wanted to say something, but he hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant was in a terrible mood. Anything he said would probably just add fuel to the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he just said, \"Well, this ginger soup...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You take it in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a moment later, a hand clamped down on his shoulder. \"Have a woman take it in instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel was stunned for a moment before it clicked. \"Right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called a woman over, handed her the ginger soup, and said, \"Make sure my sister-in-law drinks all of this. If she doesn’t, you’ll have to answer to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed sat dazedly on the edge of the bed, her face pale, like an exquisite but lifeless doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl walked in and said, \"I’ve brought you some ginger soup. Drink it to warm up so you don’t catch a cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes flickered. She glanced at the newcomer and said in a hoarse voice, \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took the ginger soup and drank it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl let out a visible sigh of relief, said, \"Please get some rest,\" and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed took a hot shower and then left the club directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She left without a sound. She sat at home all night, with scattered medical reports spread out before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dawn broke, she took the documents and went straight to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, ten o’clock in the morning came and went, and Walker Grant never showed.\u003C\u002Fp>",665,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee6d7c6922314f778e94c90d5469feebab509708079508d5db55ce3a3bf89418","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-21","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-19",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
