Are you free tonight? Let me treat you to dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you put it that way, then I just so happen to be free,\" Miles Hawthorne readily agreed. \"Let’s have hot pot. I haven’t had it in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two made plans, and Chloe Reed hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That evening.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the hot pot restaurant, a rich aroma completely enveloped her. She turned her head and saw that Miles Hawthorne had already arrived. He waved at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so early,\" Chloe Reed said in surprise as she walked over and sat down across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne smiled faintly. \"You haven’t heard? Walker Grant is targeting me. I was dismissed from my position at the Hawthorne Group. I’m unemployed now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s expression grew solemn. \"It’s because you helped me with the divorce, isn’t it? I’ve really dragged you into this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miles Hawthorne shook his head. \"It’s more than that. He also remembers that I helped you take care of Doctor William. How can he be so petty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold glint flashed in Chloe Reed’s eyes. \"No matter what he does, he can’t stop me from getting a divorce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the spirit!\" Miles Hawthorne snapped his fingers. \"As long as you stand your ground, then my suffering won’t have been in vain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude was optimistic, but Chloe Reed’s heart was filled with guilt. If he hadn’t gotten involved in her affairs, Miles Hawthorne wouldn’t be going through this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, her heart was filled with resentment toward Walker Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he has a problem, he should come after me. Why target innocent people?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s gone too far!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divided hot pot was brought to the table, its broth bubbling away and giving off a tempting aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While dipping vegetables into the pot, Chloe Reed asked, \"I’m still curious, how exactly did you handle Doctor William?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne gave her a meaningful look. \"You want to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm,\" she said, nodding earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll tell you after you win the case.\" Miles Hawthorne’s lips curved into a smile. \"When that time comes, I’ll tell you anything you want to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange feeling washed over Chloe Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very odd, mixed with a faint sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the feeling came and went so quickly that she didn’t have time to grasp it or figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Miles Hawthorne called out that the meat was ready, and her attention was diverted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the hazy steam, Miles Hawthorne’s playful expression vanished as he used a ladle to scoop fish balls into her bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a satisfyingly hot meal, they left the restaurant feeling refreshed. The night breeze was cool and pleasant against their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Miles Hawthorne’s phone rang. He answered it and, a moment later, said to her, \"Something’s come up. I have to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed waved at him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne turned, got into his car, and drove away, while Chloe Reed started walking in the other direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her car was parked over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she looked up, she saw a tall, slender figure standing by her car. He held a cigarette between his fingers, his expression cold and indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned slightly, her pace slowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s going on?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Didn’t Daniel Hayes take care of the people he had watching me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How did he know I was here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did he arrange for someone else to follow me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like I’ll have to get Daniel Hayes to do another sweep.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she reached him, her expression had grown cold. \"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant tossed the cigarette butt aside, stamped it out, and fixed his deep, almond-shaped eyes on her face. \"Was the hot pot here any good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was clearly in no mood for small talk. \"Go try it yourself if you want to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she took out her keys and unlocked the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she watched as he opened the passenger-side door and got in.\u003C\u002Fp>",698,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c4b23a55c5ce7b7e85339068e9cbc76cf0e85a13076e1509393dc57a1e448a6","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-419","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-290",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
