Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Determined to Leave

Hearing such morbid words so suddenly left an uncomfortable lump in her chest. Chloe Reed furrowed her brows. Gripping the old woman’s hand tightly, she forced the words out, syllable by syllable, "Don’t. Say. That."

The old woman merely smiled kindly. Stroking Chloe’s hair with the tranquil air of someone who had seen through worldly affairs, she said, "I made peace with this a long time ago. Although my life hasn’t been perfect, it has been wonderful. I’ve experienced a bit of everything, so my time here hasn’t been wasted. We all have to face parting calmly; after all, it is just a fact of life."

Chloe simply buried her face in her grandmother’s embrace, refusing to listen to another word.

Her grandmother didn’t continue nagging. Instead, she gently stroked Chloe’s long hair, over and over again, just like she did when Chloe was a child. They had always spent their quiet afternoons together exactly like this.

Since her grandmother insisted on returning to her hometown, Chloe didn’t try to stop her. She discussed the matter with Walker Grant.

"I’ll dispatch people to secretly protect Grandma twenty-four hours a day," Walker assured her. "Don’t worry."

Chloe nodded and managed to say, "Thank... you."

Walker immediately began to push his luck. "Just a verbal thank you?"

Chloe fixed him with a cool, watery stare. Pulling out her phone, she typed out a reply and showed the screen to him. "We aren’t divorced yet. My grandmother is your grandmother too. Isn’t it only right that you send someone to protect your own grandmother?"

Reading this, Walker burst into laughter. He nodded in agreement. "You’re right. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours."

He was far too addicted to this profound sense of mutual belonging. Even if they were doing nothing but having a simple exchange, he felt immensely joyful—a joy that radiated from the very depths of his soul!

Chloe planned to personally see her grandmother off. The weather was beautiful that day. Her grandmother didn’t need to pack much luggage; whatever she needed could simply be purchased once she returned home.

"You should stay behind and take care of Walker," her grandmother suggested. "I’ll be fine going back alone."
