Let’s go. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care even if you tell me Noah Grant is your son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Walker Grant’s expression turned glacial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll talk about this after you’ve calmed down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode out of the room, the door slamming shut with a tremendous noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Chloe Reed glanced at the photo on the wall, then tore it down and smashed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glass shattered, splitting the image of her and Walker Grant in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she smashed the photo, her phone rang. It was her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, dear, you haven’t forgotten what today is, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed checked the calendar on her phone and only then remembered: it was her father’s birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I remember. It’s Dad’s birthday. I bought his gift ages ago and was just about to head over,\" she said, forcing a cheerful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn Linton’s voice was gentle. \"I knew you wouldn’t forget. Drive safely on your way back, dear. We’ll be waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Chloe Reed quickly washed her face and got ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the mirror had red, swollen eyes and a haggard expression. She looked like a shrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Miss of the Reed family shouldn’t look like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put on some makeup and applied a layer of lipstick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly two hours passed before she finally emerged from the bathroom. But just then, her phone rang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Autumn Linton again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, your father says he doesn’t want to celebrate his birthday this year. He thinks it’s too much trouble, so don’t bother coming over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not celebrating, just like that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But just a moment ago, she was so concerned about whether I’d forgotten.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a thought occurred to her, and her eyes grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I understand. I’ll have someone drop the gift off. I’m actually not feeling well, so I won’t come over today after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you get some rest then,\" Autumn Linton said before hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the light makeup she’d applied concealed her haggard, pale appearance and restored a bit of her spirit, her eyes were exceptionally cold as she gripped her car keys tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned, walked out the door, and drove to the Reed family estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was clear and bright. As soon as she pulled into the driveway, she could hear cheerful laughter coming from the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearby servant saw her and looked terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Miss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve made a mistake. I’m docking your pay.\" Chloe Reed got out of the car, a gift box in her hand. \"The Reed family has only one Miss. Remember that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant nodded, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed walked straight inside. Past the entryway, she saw a heartwarming scene in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father, Charles Reed, was wearing a birthday hat with a little boy sitting in his lap. Her mother, Autumn Linton, sat beside them, amusing the boy with a toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sunny Reed was busy taking pictures with her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, Mom, Noah, look over here! I’m taking a picture of you. Aww... it’s a shame Big Brother isn’t home, or we could take a proper family photo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, they all looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they saw Chloe Reed standing in the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe... What are you doing back here?\" The toy in Autumn Linton’s hand dropped to the floor, her face a mixture of panic and astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood and walked over to her. \"Weren’t you feeling unwell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed watched them with cold eyes, a sarcastic sneer gracing her delicate features. \"If I hadn’t come, how would I have known you were all celebrating a birthday so happily together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",641,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","727d0af16337a1c7dc927762a2096fa6e0fd6f6f59ca1793fca518ec96b52316","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-6","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-4",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
