Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Jumped Down

The crisp sound of high heels on the floor made the lively atmosphere inexplicably freeze over.

They were playing blind man’s buff. The one blindfolded was Nathaniel Monroe, and whoever he caught had to grant him one wish.

It was his party, so he made the rules.

"Hey, why’d it get so quiet? You troublemakers have been messing with me this whole time. Just wait till I catch one of you—I’ll make you pay big time," Nathaniel Monroe said, a blindfold covering his eyes.

Hearing the room fall silent, he grinned and swung an inflatable bat around wildly.

Suddenly, it connected with someone.

"Gotcha!"

Nathaniel Monroe immediately reached out and grabbed the person’s arm.

He yanked off his blindfold, still chuckling. "Let’s see, what should I make you get me? I..."

But before he could finish, his eyes fell on the person he had caught, and he froze.

"Ch-Chloe..."

He had grabbed Chloe Reed’s arm.

He snatched his hand back as if he’d been shocked. "When did you get here? Seriously, you guys? Why didn’t anyone tell me? I would have gone to meet you at the door."

Chloe Reed looked at him coolly. "In the past, I’d get you a gift for your birthday, and you’d always invite me ahead of time. What’s different this year?"

Nathaniel Monroe’s eyes darted around as he stammered, "I-I was going to call you, but Walker said you were injured and resting at home, so I shouldn’t bother you..."

"I see."

Chloe Reed nodded slowly, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room. "Where’s Walker Grant?"

Nathaniel Monroe also looked around, scratching his head in confusion. "He was just here a minute ago. Did anyone see where Walker went?"

A girl pointed outside. "I think Mr. Grant went out to the garden."

Chloe Reed walked straight out.

The girl whispered to her friend, "I just saw Sunny Reed take Noah Grant outside, too. What do you think is going on with them?"
