If you keep targeting it, how is she supposed to get along with her parents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant said, \"Charles Reed hit her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce was taken aback, but she quickly retorted, \"That’s a matter between a father and his daughter. There was no need for you to make such a big move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, it’s over. There’s no point in bringing this up now,\" Walker Grant said, his tone mild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Judith Pierce could tell he was losing patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce decided to drop the subject and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Walker Grant by his side, Noah quickly calmed down and fell asleep in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed Noah on the hospital bed, then rose and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove to the hospital where Sunny Reed was staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards at the door of her room saw him and spoke respectfully, \"Mr. Grant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant grunted in acknowledgment and pushed open the door to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed was surprised to see him. \"Walker, it’s so late. Is something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said coolly, \"You’re to return to the family estate tomorrow to recuperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of emotion crossed Sunny Reed’s eyes. \"I don’t really want to go. It’d be awkward for me to return to the estate, given my position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s awkward about it? You’re Noah’s mother. No one will dare say a word,\" Walker Grant said, his expression impassive. \"Unless you’ve done something you don’t want anyone to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\" Sunny Reed forced a smile. \"I’ll do as you say, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant nodded. \"I’ve had my people take over operations at the company that’s in your name. Once you’ve recovered, you can start working there and learn about management.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed froze, then said, \"But I already have a job...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That job isn’t suitable for you,\" Walker Grant stated definitively. He had already made plans for her future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed looked at him. \"Are you worried that if I meet with my sister, another accident might happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant replied, \"A few more accidents like this, and Noah will be without a mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed instinctively avoided his gaze, as if he had seen right through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched the blankets, saying hesitantly, \"My sister and I... it seems we can’t reconcile. I don’t know how things got to this point. Walker, do you blame me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a bitter smile. \"Even though I’ve never hurt her, and there’s never been anything between you and me... since my sister has it in for me, it must be my fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s brow furrowed slightly. \"Sister-in-law, don’t dwell on baseless thoughts. Just get some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he trying to prevent me from having any contact with Chloe Reed?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he only starting to protect her now? Isn’t it too late?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Walker Grant away, Chloe Reed was completely relaxed. She ate dinner and then studied her script for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was getting ready for bed after her shower, a message came in from Iris Yates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates: [Chloe, remember how I said I’d look into why your parents adopted Sunny Reed?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed immediately perked up and placed a video call to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call connected, and Iris Yates’s face appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was complicated, and she looked bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked at her, puzzled. \"What’s with that expression? Did you find something out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Iris Yates shook her head. \"That’s just it, I’m so confused. I couldn’t find a single thing about Sunny Reed’s life before she entered the orphanage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",652,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","38263384a8c89e4cc33c2e4c8b345e86f3a60b682af6eefd6b13cce76059f76e","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-225","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-223",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
