Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: You Lied to Me Again?

Preston Vance pushed up his glasses, the lenses hiding the glint in his eyes. He lowered his gaze slightly and nodded. "Okay, since it’s not convenient for you right now, we’ll put the studio matter on hold. I’ll keep the project open. When you’ve handled your affairs, you can come find me again."

Chloe, however, said, "You don’t need to hold it for me. If I decide I want to do this again in the future, we can just draw up a new plan."

"I can’t do that," Preston Vance said with a faint smile. "If I keep this project open, at least it’ll stay on your mind. If we shelve it for good, you might not even think about coming back."

His words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

But Chloe didn’t seem to pick up on it. She simply picked up her glass and took a sip of water.

Preston Vance stood up. "If you need anything at all, just let me know. I’ll do everything I can to help."

Chloe smiled faintly. "Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Preston Vance turned and left the study.

Chloe saw him out. When she turned back, her eyes met her grandmother’s pensive gaze.

"Grandma, what’s wrong?"

Chloe walked over and asked, puzzled.

Her grandmother took her hand. "Chloe, are you intentionally pushing Preston away?"

Chloe’s eyes darted away. "What are you talking about? Of course not."

Her grandmother studied her closely. "Really? Was I just imagining things?"

"Grandma, you must be mistaken. Preston and I are just friends, and friends are supposed to keep a reasonable distance, aren’t they? Getting too close wouldn’t be good for either of us."

Her grandmother asked, not quite ready to give up, "You really don’t have any romantic feelings for him?"

Chloe shook her head honestly. "No, really, I don’t. Please stop trying to play matchmaker. You’ll just make things awkward for everyone."

"Alright, I understand." Her grandmother nodded, not pressing the issue any further.

Chloe watched some TV with her grandmother for a while before heading off to shower and go to bed.
