After a long moment, he finally asked, \"What do you want for breakfast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pushed his hand away. \"Will you make whatever I want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"I want buns from Hu’s on the south side of town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lived on the north side; the two places were on opposite ends of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant nodded. \"Okay. I’ll be back soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put on his jacket and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s tense body relaxed slightly. She hugged her knees, her face pale and drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would listen to her when it came to the little things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the important matters, he completely ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s the point?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She washed up and left right after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed a quick bite to eat outside. Since her period had started, she felt incredibly weak, and the waves of pain in her lower abdomen were making her irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she got to the office, she was surprised to see Walker Grant was there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding a bag from the breakfast shop. He offered it to her and said, \"I knew you wouldn’t wait for me, so I brought it straight here. There’s red bean porridge, too. Have some, it’ll make you feel better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed didn’t take it, merely watching him with a cold gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant placed the breakfast bag directly on her workstation, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked at her colleagues and asked, \"Has anyone not had breakfast yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others all glanced at her but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed didn’t seem to care. She threw the breakfast straight into the trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Kyle Coleman arrived, he called for a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a busy morning, she received a call from the court in the afternoon. They wanted to meet with them for mediation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So it’s finally happening?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed took a deep breath and said, \"I’m free this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then we’ll head directly to the Grant Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Dylan Finch came down, his expression very serious. \"Mrs. Grant, Mr. Grant has asked for you to come up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed Dylan Finch into the elevator. Dylan kept glancing at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Mrs. Grant is so brave!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She actually filed for divorce in secret!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But no one in all of Breyburn should have dared to take on Mr. Grant’s divorce case. How did someone who’s not afraid to die end up taking it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s tone was flat. \"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch quickly averted his gaze. \"N-Nothing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chloe Reed let out a soft laugh. \"Curious how I managed it? Not everyone is at his beck and call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch didn’t dare to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator soon reached the executive office floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the reception room, the people from the court had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant sat on the sofa, his posture relaxed. His dark, phoenix-like eyes watched the two mediators with an amused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chloe Reed entered, his gaze fell upon her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, you truly surprise me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed sat down and said directly to the mediators, \"I don’t think mediation is necessary. My marriage with him cannot be sustained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant said, \"My wife and I have always had a very good relationship. I don’t mind if you investigate our private life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mediators had felt immense pressure from the moment they walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they still followed procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Chloe Reed insisted on a divorce, the next step would be a court hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearing date wouldn’t be far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s attitude remained firm the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two mediators left, the color in Walker Grant’s eyes deepened. \"Chloe, why do you have to do this? You can’t win anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",663,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","f38a4b6ccee773f3afdb5d8c6b45b9a09797b75da003a5f60ad36e10ba08d8a3","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-235","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-233",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
