When she even married and moved to another city, her mother finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter simply didn’t want to be close to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all the years since her marriage, her daughter had barely called, and she’d visited home even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, when Autumn Linton took the initiative to call, the old woman was overjoyed. It made her reminisce about her daughter’s childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon stepping inside and sensing the subtle but palpable distance from Autumn Linton, her initial warmth faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Autumn Linton must have contacted her for a reason.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the old woman had no desire to stay any longer, nor did she want to watch her daughter put on a show of being a dutiful daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, how can you say that?\" Autumn Linton’s brow furrowed. \"Everything I said is true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on the old woman’s lips faltered slightly. \"Fine,\" she said. \"I’ll stay for lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton found her mother’s reaction strange but still breathed a sigh of relief. All that mattered was that she stayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked, \"Mom, what do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words left her mouth, she saw Chloe Reed giving her a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton realized it at once. It was certainly strange for a daughter not to know her own mother’s favorite foods, and stranger still to have to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the old woman said, \"Anything is fine. I’m not a picky eater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton let out a small sigh of relief, and the strange feeling in her heart subsided a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this unfold, Chloe Reed found the situation increasingly odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The dynamic between Grandma and Autumn Linton is so stiff and awkward.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s nothing like how natural things are between me and Grandma.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At lunchtime」 Charles Reed returned home. He was much more enthusiastic, keeping up a conversation with the old woman about all the changes over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew considerably more harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton seemed to relax a little as well. She even said to the old woman, \"Mom, why don’t you stay for a few days? You came all this way, what’s the rush to go back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman glanced at her. \"No, thank you. I’m not used to it here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept repeating this phrase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles Reed then said, \"Mom, you should do whatever makes you most comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Partway through the meal, the old woman excused herself to use the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Autumn Linton also got up and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed stepped out to take a call. When she returned and didn’t see them, she quickly asked a maid. Upon learning they had gone to the restroom, she hurried over as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guest bathroom was large, with white double doors that were currently ajar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton’s voice drifted out from inside. \"Mom, at your age, you have no use for those earrings. Why not just give them to me? I really like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes widened in disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s still after those earrings!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is outrageous!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pushed the door open and walked in, her eyes cold as she stared at Autumn Linton. \"Don’t you think this is a little inappropriate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the sudden intrusion, Autumn Linton was visibly flustered for a second before her expression darkened. \"Chloe, how could you eavesdrop on me? That’s so rude!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chloe Reed just sneered. \"If I hadn’t come over, I would never have known you’d do something like this. I went to so much trouble to find those earrings for Grandma. What right do you have to just demand them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did I do?\" Autumn Linton’s expression was ugly. \"I’m asking my own mother for something. Is there a problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",686,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","afd7bb02dea287c543dc0c97eb405c108cf743954cdff0ac48aa4463c62433b2","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-187","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-248",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
