You could tell if anyone was home just by looking from the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed responded, \"Mhm, I moved in as soon as the paperwork went through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations,\" Preston Vance said with a smile, then added, \"Would it be convenient for me to come over for a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I’ll buzz you in right now.\" Chloe Reed smiled and pressed the door release button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was carrying fruit and dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my first time visiting, so I brought a little something. I hope you don’t mind,\" Preston Vance said as he handed the items to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed felt rather embarrassed. \"You really didn’t have to bring anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance said, \"Don’t worry, I won’t bring anything next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed couldn’t help but laugh. \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance glanced around and said, \"Haven’t moved your things in yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I haven’t packed yet. Once I’m done packing, I’ll hire a moving company.\" Chloe Reed poured him a glass of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance said, \"You were in a big hurry to move in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze held a hint of inquiry. \"Are you hiding from someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed lowered her gaze, her long lashes trembling slightly. \"I just wanted a change of scenery, that’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance sensed her guardedness and tactfully decided not to press the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, her phone rang again. Iris Yates had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She came up carrying bags of all sizes, panting for breath. \"Chloe! Look, I even bought you a bunch of new dishes! Aren’t they pretty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened one of the bags right there at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded. \"They’re gorgeous. Mr. Vance is here, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates froze for a second, then peeked into the living room. Beaming, she greeted Preston Vance, \"Mr. Vance, hello there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Yates, hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates slipped on a pair of house slippers and walked in. \"What are you doing here? How did you know my Chloe moved?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance replied with a smile, \"I live right behind here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so that’s how it is!\" Iris Yates’s face lit up with understanding. \"You two must be fated to meet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pulled her along. \"Stop talking nonsense. Come on, let’s go wash the vegetables.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Preston Vance and said, \"We’re having hot pot tonight, is that alright with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance nodded and stood up. \"I can help, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, no need! Mr. Vance, please, just stay seated. The two of us will have everything ready in no time,\" Iris Yates said with a cheerful grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Preston Vance came over anyway, saying, \"If we prepare it together, it’ll feel more like we’re all a part of it. Plus, the food tastes better that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he insisted, they didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They washed and chopped the vegetables, arranged them on platters, filled the pot with water, and prepared the soup base and dipping sauces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process was surprisingly quick, and by the time they all sat down at the table, their faces were flushed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates held up a beer. \"Anyone want a drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance nodded. \"I’m fine with that. I live just nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"Let’s drink! I moved into my new home today. It’s a day for celebration!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates opened the beers, handed a can to each of them, and sat down. \"Come on, let’s start by celebrating Chloe’s new home. Cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They raised their beers and clinked them together. As the hot pot broth began to boil, the atmosphere grew warm and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Meanwhile.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Downstairs from the apartment building.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe said, \"Walker, I found her. She’s living in this building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he cautiously glanced at the man beside him. Catching sight of a face as cold as frost, he instinctively shrank back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Walker is terrifying!’\u003C\u002Fp>",645,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce618028498d2a8ce3235fbce545c45ab6559060ab4e8aeca61d60a0c63507fa","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-165","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-226",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
