Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Don’t You Want Revenge?

Chloe Reed had barely eaten anything again tonight, so when they returned to Jardinelle, Walker Grant went straight into the kitchen.

She looked at the messages on her phone. Many people from their social circle had sent messages checking in on her.

Among them was a message from Preston Vance.

Preston Vance: [Chloe, how have you been? I saw the news about the Reed Group. It hasn’t affected you, has it?]

Chloe Reed: [I’m fine, really. Thanks for your concern, Preston.]

Preston Vance: [Why are you being so formal with me all of a sudden? Aren’t we friends?]

Preston Vance: [Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like we’ve grown distant. You haven’t been back to Maplewood Gardens in a long time.]

Preston Vance: [Chloe, if something’s wrong, I hope you can just tell me. I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings between us.]

’A misunderstanding?’

’But when they caught that guy, he confessed everything. He made it very clear that Preston was the one who ordered him to do it.’

’And now he’s calling it a misunderstanding...’

After everything she had been through, Chloe Reed didn’t dare to trust anyone easily anymore.

She weighed her words for a long moment before typing a reply.

Chloe Reed: [No, Preston, you’re mistaken. I’ve just been busy with my grandmother. She hasn’t been feeling well recently, and I’ve been taking care of her.]

Preston Vance: [Oh? Which hospital is she in? I’ll go visit. Your grandmother always enjoyed talking with me. Maybe if I go chat with her, she’ll start to feel better?]

Chloe Reed: [She’s already been discharged. She wanted to go home, so I took her back.]

Preston Vance: [Oh, I see. It’s a shame I didn’t get to see her off.]

Chloe Reed: [I’m sure you’ll see her again.]

Preston Vance: [Okay. Well, I won’t bother you any longer. Good night.]

Chloe Reed: [Good night.]

...

She set her phone down and thought about what to do next.

Just then, a sharp KNOCK, KNOCK sounded at her bedroom door.

It was a simple, humble dish, but each grain of rice was coated in a glistening layer of golden egg. Mixed with diced carrots, ham, and finely chopped scallions, it looked exceptionally tempting.

Chloe’s stomach betrayed her with a couple of growls.

She hesitated for a moment before picking up her spoon and starting to eat.

Walker glanced at her, then said, "Miles Hawthorne still hasn’t talked. He says he wants to see you."

Chloe’s eyelashes fluttered. "If he sees me, will he talk?"

"Probably not."

Walker’s tone grew colder. "He might even still be thinking about killing you."

Chloe said, "Then that’s all the more reason for me not to see him."

Walker looked at her. "You can see him. It’ll be good practice for your marksmanship."

At his words, she froze, her clear eyes staring at him in astonishment.

Then she heard him ask, "Don’t you want revenge?"
