She helped her grandmother out to the balcony for some fresh air and asked, \"Grandma, are you unhappy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\" Her grandmother wore a gentle smile. \"At my age, isn’t it normal to be serene?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed squeezed her dry hand. \"But I can tell you’re not happy.

I won’t be sad over this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grandmother let out a faint sigh. \"When you reach the end, you can’t be bothered with the past anymore.

I won’t go inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her smile, the old woman nodded. \"All right, I’ll do as you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed could see it—a bit more light had returned to her grandmother’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She really missed Autumn Linton.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Especially now that Autumn Linton was gravely ill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was her only daughter.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Before, perhaps having her granddaughter as a tie had kept her from feeling so lost.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But ever since Grandma had learned she wasn’t Autumn Linton’s biological child, things had quietly changed, even if she said it didn’t matter.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed lowered her gaze slightly, a flash of disappointment crossing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, her grandmother ate an extra bowl of rice and even asked about Walker Grant’s well-being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant offered a gentle smile. \"Grandma, as long as you’re all right, we’ll all be all right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother smiled and nodded. \"Good. I’ll do my best to live to ninety-nine. By then, you’ll all be sick of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant replied, \"Never. We’ll need Grandma to help look after my and Chloe’s children then. So you have to take good care of yourself, Grandma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the grandmother looked over at Chloe Reed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed hadn’t expected him to say that, and her expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>",599,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e4d51ac37e2b3923da8d472bd0416e16237b48ee9bcfd8db5afeccf0ce749b6","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-206","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-427",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
