Her mother said to her, \"Chloe, haven’t you always wanted a sister? How would you like to have Sunny as your big sister from now on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so happy she nodded vigorously. \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she gave all of her favorite toys to Sunny Reed and pulled her along to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always envied others who had sisters, and now she had one too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a few days later, Sunny Reed was on the swings. When she went over, wanting to play too, Sunny suddenly fell off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father happened to be passing by, and Sunny Reed immediately started crying. \"My sister didn’t mean to... I’m not hurt...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father immediately scolded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was innocent! She hadn’t pushed Sunny Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a few days after that, she and Sunny Reed were walking down the stairs, with Sunny in front and her behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Sunny Reed tumbled down the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just stood on the stairs, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed looked up at her, crying. \"Sister, why did you push me? It hurts so much... Waaah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, she was locked in the dark room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father and mother came in turns to punish her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time her father had ever hit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been so wronged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t pushed Sunny Reed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She refused to confess, so she was locked in the dark room for three days. By the time she was let out, she was so hungry she could barely see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that moment on, she realized Sunny Reed was a pathological liar and stopped playing with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she found herself locked in the dark room more and more often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her parents paid more and more attention to Sunny Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, she could even find a comfortable spot in the old house to lie down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, too, it was because of Sunny Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed lifted her gaze to the window, where a square pane of glass framed the sky outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were filled with misery and desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she was ten, whenever Sunny Reed told a lie, she would lash out, trying to rip away the disguise and force her parents to see Sunny’s true colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, even the man she loved had taken Sunny Reed’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chloe Reed’s thoughts ran wild, she drifted into a hazy sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how much time had passed, but an icy touch to her cheek made her shiver and her eyes fly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant was pressing an ice pack to her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed shoved him away and sat up, her expression cold. \"Stop the hypocrisy. Don’t you find this disgusting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s brows furrowed. The ice in the pack was melting in his hand. Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, he sighed helplessly. \"Chloe, you shouldn’t have hit her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed scoffed. \"Not only did I hit her, but the next time I see her, I’ll give her a few more slaps. If your heart aches for her so much, then file for divorce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her chin defiantly. \"Then we’ll be done. You can protect her openly, and I won’t even have the chance to bully her if I wanted to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My heart doesn’t ache for her,\" Walker Grant said in a low voice. \"It aches for you. You hit her, and you’re the one who ends up locked in here. Was it worth it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyelashes trembled violently. The sense of being wronged was about to overwhelm her, but she forced herself to look indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him. \"Walker Grant, if your heart really aches for me, then divorce me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",677,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e0808ef1d2cc6036d940fc265a61879ce7817fe63196030982de26e1bc5d083","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-31","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-29",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
