Her breathing was ragged, her eyes growing redder as tears shimmered on the verge of falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s breathing grew heavier, his long, slender eyes watching her darkly. \"Do you even know the whole story?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant stood up and yanked her to her feet, his voice turning colder. \"Iris Yates was reckless enough to bully someone first. What’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed froze. \"Who did she bully?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s Adam’s apple bobbed. A few seconds passed before he said, \"My sister-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was for Sunny Reed again!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s hands clenched into tight fists. A self-mocking laugh escaped her. \"She couldn’t have bullied Sunny Reed. I told her how protective you are of Sunny. How could she possibly have the guts to go against you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was pale, the corners of her eyes tinged with red. She looked so fragile, as if a gust of wind might shatter her. Gazing at Walker Grant’s handsome face, her voice softened. \"So, do you understand now? She wouldn’t dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp pang spread through Walker Grant’s chest. He took her hand. \"Chloe, don’t look at me like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes stung fiercely. Her initial anger had given way to sorrow and grief. She looked at him as if he were a complete stranger. \"Then how should I look at you? Walker Grant, you’ve done so much to defend her, you’ve even started targeting Iris. How do you expect me to see you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s sharp brows furrowed tightly, and a muscle in his jaw twitched. He pulled out his phone and made a call. \"Bring Iris Yates here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed panicked. \"What are you doing? I told you, she wouldn’t dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s voice was low and gravelly. \"It’s better to ask her directly and find out if she did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he also had someone summon Sunny Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed arrived holding Noah Grant, and the little boy instinctively shrank back when he saw Chloe Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant frowned. \"Why did you bring him here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed said, \"He’s a little sleepy, so I thought I’d hold him for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take him back.\" Walker Grant’s tone grew colder. \"He’s three years old. He can’t always be clinging to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he looked like a strict father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chloe Reed watched him, a dense ache spread through her heart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he hadn’t had a vasectomy, they could have had children too. Would he teach his own child like this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But there were no what-ifs.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’d had a vasectomy, and here he was, raising his older brother’s child.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed closed her eyes, forcing down the surging wave of bitterness and pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sunny Reed returned after taking Noah Grant back to his room, she asked, \"Is something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither of them paid her any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed said no more, quietly taking a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris Yates was brought in moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She violently shook off the bodyguards. \"Get your damn hands off me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw Chloe Reed, she ran over. \"Chloe, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she turned and glared at Walker Grant. \"If you have a problem, take it up with me! Don’t you dare give Chloe a hard time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a touching display of sisterly affection,\" Walker Grant said, his voice cold. \"Are you still refusing to apologize to my sister-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologize, my ass!\" Iris Yates cursed. \"What the hell did I do to her? That shameless bitch steals everything from my Chloe. Even looking at her makes me feel dirty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Sunny Reed stood up in disbelief. \"Walker, what have you done? Didn’t I tell you I was fine? If you hurt Miss Yates, my sister will only be more heartbroken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",648,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","0809291c8914885f5e29c75920ba93f70256fa8747d276ffb8ff798ebfa35a1d","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-42","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-40",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
