Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Actually, I Don’t Like Sapphires

Hearing this, Charles Reed didn’t try to make her stay. He just said, "Travel safely, then."

He simply stood in the living room and said a few words, not bothering to actually see them out.

Chloe Reed and her grandmother left the Reed residence together.

As they sat in the car, her grandmother stared silently out the window. Watching her, Chloe Reed felt for some reason that the wrinkles at the corners of her grandmother’s eyes had deepened.

She felt a profound sense of sadness and heartache.

"Grandma..."

"Chloe, none of that has anything to do with you," her grandmother said in her gentle, loving voice. "Don’t think about it, and don’t get involved."

Chloe Reed tightened her grip on the steering wheel. After a pause, she said, "She wants the earrings back for Sunny Reed—the adopted daughter she brought home."

Her grandmother looked at her. "That girl is still living with the Reeds?"

"Mhm."

Chloe Reed nodded.

Her grandmother sighed softly. "She failed as a daughter, and she’s failed as a mother, too."

Her grandmother’s assessments were always brutally accurate.

Chloe Reed didn’t say anything more.

She took her grandmother out for a meal. Her grandmother didn’t have much of an appetite, but Chloe Reed coaxed her into eating a little.

Afterwards, they returned to Maplewood Gardens to rest.

Chloe Reed closed the guest room door and went to the study.

She hadn’t gone to work today, and Kyle Coleman had been messaging her nonstop to express his displeasure.

So, she went into the study to record a few episodes’ worth of content to send over.

By the time she came out, three hours had already passed.

She went to the guest room door and knocked. "Grandma?"

"Mhm."

Her grandmother’s voice came from inside.

Chloe Reed pushed the door open and went inside to find her grandmother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the sapphire earrings and staring at them in a daze.
