Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Chapter 556: I Just Don’t Want You to Leave Me

He held her, his commanding, cool aura enveloping her, bringing with it a steady sense of security.

Chloe Reed’s long eyelashes trembled. A wave of panic washed over her, and she even found herself craving his embrace.

She squeezed her eyes shut, forcing herself to calm down before asking, "You’re helping me this much. What’s your motive?"

A soft sigh escaped him. Walker Grant gently caressed her back and murmured, "Chloe, I don’t want a divorce. That’s my motive. Everything I do for you is just because I don’t want you to leave me."

He released her, his dark, narrow eyes gazing at her intently. "Since we can’t get a divorce anytime soon anyway," he said slowly, "let’s try to live like we used to, okay? Like a normal married couple."

Chloe Reed’s heart clenched, and a wave of bitterness and sorrow crashed over her.

It was as if he had said a trigger word, her body automatically launching into a stress response.

It made her subconsciously want to escape, to turn and walk away.

Her expression grew distant for a moment. ’She thought back on their eight-year relationship. For the first four, they had been deeply in love. Their relationship was truly stable. They understood each other’s preferences, fulfilled each other’s needs, and their love deepened with each passing day. That was precisely why she had been so utterly heartbroken when those things happened later.’

’After Julian Grant left, their relationship changed. Tiny cracks had already begun to appear.’

’It started when he began to care about Sunny Reed.’

Chloe Reed turned away, unwilling to dwell on those memories. "But I can’t just forget those unpleasant experiences," she said. "Maintaining things as they are now is the absolute most I can do."

Walker Grant’s breath caught. Seeing her still-pale face, he knew he couldn’t pressure her any further right now.

He pulled her into another embrace and said in a hoarse voice, "Alright. I respect your choice. But there’s one thing I need you to remember clearly: I, Walker Grant, have only ever loved Chloe Reed, from beginning to end."
