Ch. 66..70: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 66-70

Chapter 66

"Even in my dream, you're still the same…." Vernon said. He grabbed Chloe's wrist and yanked it towards him.

"Ah!" Chloe gasped. She thought Vernon was wide awake, and she was scared shitless.

But soon after, Vernon closed his eyes again while holding her hand. Chloe tried to pull her hand gently to no avail because Vernon tightened his grip around her wrist.

"Don't escape me, not in my dream. You left me for so long, can you pity me a bit?" Vernon murmured. He gently put Chloe's hand on his cheek, so they could share their warmth together. "You're warm like I always needed you to be…."

Chloe was still trying to process what was currently happening right now. It seemed that Vernon thought he was dreaming. That meant he had a similar dream to a reality like this.

And it seemed…

'He had mistaken me for another woman,' Chloe thought. Because he was wide awake, Vernon would probably yell at her again. But he was exceptionally gentle in his dream, something that would never happen in real life between her and Vernon.

'Ah, Vernon has a lot of women in his life. But for a woman to enter his dream and make him act so gentle and loving, that woman must be special, probably the love of his life?"

Chloe smiled as she watched Vernon, whose expression gradually eased. She caressed his cheek gently.

While Vernon was still busy with her hand, she used her free hand to continue treating Vernon's wound until every part of the wound had been treated, the last thing needed was bandaging, but she needed her two hands to bandage Vernon's fist.

She tried to pull her hand again, but Vernon tightened his grip until she winced out of pain.

"Don't leave. I miss you a lot…." Vernon mumbled. With his eyes closed, he said, "Why did you betray me?"

…

'Ouch, that woman must've left him. Did she cheat on Vernon? I mean, if Vernon is this gentle, that would be weird if a woman left him.'

'And I doubt she left because of money. Even when Vernon was still in Europe, Dorothea once said he was still provided with money, although not much.'

Chloe could feel Vernon's grip continue to tighten even more. It was painful that she thought her wrist would be broken, but Chloe didn't dare to let a sound out of her mouth. She endured the pain, afraid she would wake him up if she screamed and forcefully yanked her arm.

"Did I hurt you?"

…

"If you're hurt, that's good. Because you will understand the pain, I bear for so long. I want you to understand all the pain. I want you to know that I love you and hate you at the same time," Vernon muttered.

Despite his bone-crushing grip on her wrist, he gently kissed Chloe's fingers one by one, from her finger to her pinky.

Chloe gasped when Vernon suddenly put her index into his mouth. He lucked and sucked the tip of her finger like candy, "Understand me, I want you to understand…."

…

Chloe bit her lower lip, so she wouldn't accidentally leak her voice and woke Vernon up.

Vernon put Chloe's palm on his chest, so she could feel his beating heart, "The passion in my heart, it burns like fire. "I want to embrace you with this burning feeling inside my heart, so we can burn together…."

"I want us to die together…."

…

…

The grip on Chloe's wrist gradually weakened until Vernon truly fell asleep again, and she could pull her hand off his grip.

"Ouch, that hurts so much…" Chloe rubbed her wrist before sliding her away from Vernon, who was asleep. She took the bandage and carefully wrapped Vernon's hand with it.

After she was done, she breathed full of relief and got up from the sofa.

She was about to leave but heard Vernon mumbling, "Don't… leave me…."

…

Chloe squatted beside the sofa and wiped the sweat on Vernon's forehead before caressing his hair, "I will never leave you, Vernon. No matter what, you are still my cute little Vernon, whom I knew fifteen years ago when you were only seven."

"Don't be sad about this woman who left you, she is a scum. Your big sister Chloe will accompany you," Chloe said.

Chloe felt relief in her heart as she delivered the words she had always wanted to say since the first time they met again. It was also the same sentence she said whenever Vernon was sad.

They were separated for so long after Vernon's abrupt departure to Europe right after she married Vincent, so she constantly worried about her Little Vernon.

"But you're doing well now, my cute little Vernon," Chloe smiled as she continued caressing Vernon's hair. "I hope you find the woman you love and will love you back, okay? I will always support you."

'Maybe he had a terrible break-up with the girl in his dream. What he said are extreme things….' Chloe theorized. 'Maybe it's also the reason why he became a playboy and treated all women so badly. He was so kind and obedient when he was a kid and teenager with me….'

'That woman in his dream must've hurt his heart so terribly….'

Chloe sighed deeply. They have so much pain in their hearts, getting hurt by their loved ones.

"I can't do anything other than take care of you, Vernon. But I want you to be happy, don't be an idiot like me, okay? Nobody will love me any. I am a lost cause. But you deserve someone who loves you wholeheartedly," Chloe smiled and kissed Vernon's forehead.

Chloe finally got up, took a spare blanket from the laundry room, and covered Vernon before leaving with the first-aid kit and the bucket of water.

She gave Vernon the last look before going downstairs and smiled, "I will act like there is nothing wrong between us tomorrow morning. Please cooperate, cute little Vernon."

Chapter 67

Vernon woke up the next morning. He felt weak, even a little groggy. But he had a beautiful dream last night.

He dreamt of his beloved one whispering many sweet things for him, caressing him gently, even kissing him.

Which would be impossible in real life, or so he thought.

He got up and sat on the sofa in a daze for a brief moment. He looked around and realized that he fell asleep on the sofa last night, right after he punched the wall many times.

Vernon checked the wall and saw the cracked wall with blood splattered around it. It looked gruesome, even for Vernon.

"Urgh, what had gotten into me last night?" Vernon felt guilty because he was lashing out at Chloe and her daughter like that.

True, it was Chloe's fault for mocking him. But he wasn't any better. He lashed out like Chloe did a terrible offense.

"And that little brat saw it as well…" Vernon sighed. He might be a terrible person, but he wouldn't scare a little kid with violence… if he could control his emotion.

It was mostly frustration that gaslighted him, a pile of frustration that exploded out of nowhere…

"I have to apologize… I should, but… would I?" Vernon asked himself. He still had pride as a man. How could he apologize to a woman? And this woman was the sister-in-law who begged for shelter and safety. He was basically her boss!

Amidst his dilemma, Vernon looked down and realized that his bloodied hand had been cleaned and bandaged.

He also had a blanket that covered half of his body.

His heart dropped as the realization dawned on him. His heart started beating loudly, afraid that the worst might have happened.

"Did she…"

Now he wondered whether he was dreaming last night or if everything was real.

'No, no, that can't be true. Obviously, that's not true. Imagining her caressing my hair and kissing my forehead… FUCK!'

As Vernon was busy with the dilemma inside his head. The voice of little girls whining was heard from the kitchen.

"Mommy, I don't want to eat here with Uncle Vernon!" Mackie protested, remembering what Uncle Vernon did to her Mommy last night. "Uncle Vernon is mean and evil!"

"Shush, don't say that, Mackie," Chloe reprimanded her daughter as she spoke ill of her employer. "You can wait downstairs, okay? Mommy has already prepared your breakfast. Mommy needs to cook for Uncle Vernon's breakfast and for lunches."

"But…" Mackie whimpered. Mommy had already told her to sit downstairs and eat breakfast alone because she would be busy cooking for Uncle Vernon and preparing their lunchboxes.

But she was worried that Uncle Vernon would hurt her Mommy while cooking, so she didn't want to leave her Mommy alone with Uncle Vernon.

Vernon got up and walked to the kitchen to check on the mother-daughter pair.

Vernon stood there in silence as he watched Mackie, who clenched the hem of Chloe's shirt while she busily cooked a healthy breakfast for him.

"Mackie, don't get too close to the stove. You might get burned!" Chloe scolded, but Mackie insisted on staying close.

"Mackie will protect Mommy!"

Vernon leaned sideways with his arms crossed. He continued watching until Mackie sensed an ominous presence. She turned around and almost jumped out of fright when she saw Uncle Vernon.

Mackie braced herself and covered her Mommy with her small body, "Uncle, don't hurt Mommy!"

Chloe was surprised. She turned off the stove and turned around to see Vernon leaning on the wall with his arms crossed.

He didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but he wasn't in a good mood either.

"Go away, Uncle Vernon!" Mackie yelled at her Uncle.

Vernon stared at Chloe for a while before he looked down at her feisty little niece and said, "Sit on the dining chair, don't disturb your mother. She is busy cooking."

"No! Uncle will hurt Mommy!"

"… I won't," Vernon replied short.

Honestly, he wasn't sure how to handle this situation. It was so awkward, especially with what happened last night.

"I don't believe you!" Mackie insisted. She hugged her Mommy's legs, "Don't hurt Mommy!"

…

Chloe realized Vernon was speechless and felt really awkward because of his sudden outburst last night. But she tried her best not to make it that way, so Vernon wouldn't feel too embarrassed in front of Mackie.

Chloe patted Mackie's head and said, "Uncle Vernon is not mad anymore. He won't hurt Mommy."

"B—But…"

"Uncle Vernon apologized to Mommy last night, you know," Chloe said.

Mackie looked up to her Mommy, who was smiling. She seemed to have no worry, "Is that true?"

"Yes! Uncle Vernon already said sorry to Mommy, and Mommy forgave him! You don't need to worry, okay?" Chloe tried to convince her daughter and looked at Vernon, "Right, Vernon?"

Vernon's body stiffened, and he nodded reluctantly.

Mackie looked at Uncle Vernon, who quickly dodged her eyes. She pouted and pointed at her Uncle, "Uncle is forgiven! But if Uncle hurts Mommy again, Mackie will tell Daddy!"

"M—Mackie—"

Vernon was insulted once her niece told her that she would tell her Daddy about it. No, he wasn't scared. He was just annoyed because that name was mentioned in his house.

His petty mind screamed for him to refute the little girl, but before he opened his mouth, Chloe had already looked at him with pleading eyes.

Chloe shook her head and mouthed 'please' without letting her voice out.

Vernon took a deep breath. He disliked tolerating anything in his house. In fact, he disliked to be tied or if he had to obey anyone without reason.

But he remembered what happened last night and was ashamed of it. So he conceded and nodded, "I won't do it again. Now sit and don't disturb your Mommy."

Mackie still felt a sense of crisis, so she refused, "No!"

Vernon was already in a complicated mood, he wanted to yell back at Mackie, but he took a deep breath and said, "If you don't sit there, I will bully your Mommy when you're in school."

Chapter 68

"If you don't sit there, I will bully your Mommy when you're in school," Vernon threatened.

Mackie was shocked by Uncle Vernon's threat as if she got struck by a giant thunder in a clear sky. She always thought she would protect her Mommy every time, but she forgot that she had to go to school!

"T—Then, Mackie will not go to school!"

"Of course, you can't, Mackie," Chloe chuckled and patted Mackie's hair. "School is very important, remember? You can't be smart if you're not going to school."

"But…" Mackie was conflicted. This thing was more complicated than what her little mind could comprehend.

"Well, if you're obedient, then I will be obedient too. I won't bully your mommy while you're in school, okay?" Vernon negotiated.

Mackie looked at her Mommy, smiling, and then at Uncle Vernon, "P—Promise?"

"Promise."

Mackie slowly approached Vernon and raised her hand. She folded her fingers except for her pinky, "Pinky promise me, Uncle! Promise that you will never hurt Mommy!"

Vernon looked down at the feisty and courageous little brat. She might be a little girl, but she was brave enough to protect her mother and even made promises to make sure she was well protected.

Kind of reminded Vernon of himself when he was around the same age.

Vernon crouched and offered his pinky finger. He hooked the little niece's pinky fingers with his, "Pinky promise."

"Now go sit on the chair," Vernon said, but Mackie refused.

"Uncle, go sit with me too! It's fair! If you don't wanna, Mackie won't sit too!"

'This kid, seriously—' Vernon never thought he would be conquered by a little girl who negotiated and bargained with him, the Devil CEO!

But, he conceded in the end, thinking that an unnecessary argument after last night wasn't necessary.

Chloe chuckled when she saw Vernon and Mackie sitting side by side at the dining table.

Vernon glared at her, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Chloe held her laugh. "I will go downstairs and pick up Mackie's breakfast."

"No need, just cook again for three portions here," Vernon said. "And I insist."

Chloe sighed. She didn't eat breakfast at all. She ate so little, in fact, because her stomach would just vomit everything anyway.

So she cooked 2 portions of breakfast instead of three and then served them in front of Mackie and Vernon.

Vernon saw the food and asked Chloe, "Where's your breakfast?"

"Ah, I'm not really hungry…." Chloe replied. Which was true. She wasn't hungry because whenever she imagined food going down into her stomach and making her fat, her gut would spontaneously puke everything out.

…

"Eat," Vernon said, short but in a commanding tone.

"I—I can't…." Chloe rejected it carefully, afraid she might offend Vernon again for whatever reason.

Vernon started to wonder what made Chloe so slow and afraid of eating in front of him.

'Is it because the ingredients I bought for her are not as good as in her previous home? Or she just missed eating in her lavish mansion, so she has no appetite eating here?'

'Is she that spoiled? Fuck, thinking about it makes my blood boil!'

Vernon wanted to curse out loud, but he had already promised not to 'bully' Chloe in front of Mackie. So he just glared at Chloe, which made the already petite lady feel she shrunk even more in front of Vernon.

Mackie hit Uncle Vernon's arm with her plastic spoon, "Uncle, don't scare mommy!"

"What? Do you think that's scaring someone? I'm just looking at her!"

"But Uncle's eyes are so scary! Uncle is like a monster!" Mackie huffed. "Mommy never eats breakfast! Mommy said she doesn't like eating breakfast like us!" Mackie said.

"Is that so?" Vernon continued staring at Chloe with his hawk gaze.

"Y—Yes, Vernon. I… um… it's just a habit of mine. I don't like eating breakfast because I… I have a sensitive belly," Chloe tried to put up the best excuse she got. "Whenever I eat in the morning, it would give me stomachache…."

"Heh, weak," Vernon sneered. He picked one apple from the dining table and threw it at Chloe, "At least eat fruit, but not sour ones. Just eat something like banana or apple."

"Ah—" Chloe scrambled to catch the apple thrown by Vernon. "Y—Yes, thank you…."

Vernon still couldn't believe that reasoning because he didn't remember his sister-in-law having any stomach problems when he was young.

But ten years had passed, and maybe age started catching up to her body.

Thus, Chloe started eating a plate of sliced apples and bananas. She stared at the uncle and niece pair, who were arguing again.

Mackie saw the same food served to her and Uncle Vernon and realized that Uncle Vernon had a bigger portion.

"Mommy! Why does Uncle Vernon have more food than me?"

"Obviously, because I'm the man of the house," Vernon snorted.

"Man of the house? What is that?" Mackie asked.

"That means I got to do whatever I want," Vernon said. He grabbed the spoon and scooped some of Mackie's portion, "Including eating your portion."

"NOOOOO! THAT'S MACKIE'S FOOD!" Mackie yelled as she saw Uncle Vernon scooping her food and adding it to his plate. "UNCLE, YOU ARE BAD! EVIL! MEAN!"

Mackie started hitting Uncle Vernon with the plastic spoon, and Vernon only reacted with an amused chuckle;

"What? Do you want your Mommy to get eaten?"

"E—Eaten?" Mackie stopped hitting and looked at Uncle Vernon on full alert. "M—Mommy will be eaten?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm a big bad wolf, so I can eat your Mommy whenever I want, and your Mommy can't fight me since I'm big and strong," Vernon said as he continued teasing his niece. "So if you don't want your Mommy to get eaten, you need to give me your food."

Mackie's eyes widened. She looked at her food and then looked at Uncle Vernon and Mommy. Mackie pushed her food towards Uncle Vernon, "Uncle can eat Mackie's food, but promise me not to eat Mommy!

Chapter 69

"Uncle can eat Mackie's food, but promise me not to eat Mommy!" Mackie said. She had a deserted look after she pushed her food toward her Uncle.

"Pffthh! Ahahahahah! So dumb!" Vernon laughed out loud. He didn't even try to be nice to his niece.

"Mackie is not dumb! Uncle is dumb!" Mackie retorted. "I—I gave Uncle food, so don't eat my Mommy!"

"BWAHAHAHAH!"

Chloe watched the two of them bickering, and she had a thin smile as she remembered the little Vernon.

"Luckily, I wasn't dumb like you when I was a kid! AHAHAHAH!"

"Mackie is not dumb! Uncle, stop laughing now!"

'Actually, you act just like Mackie…' Chloe said in her heart, afraid she would offend Vernon if she said it out loud.

The cute little Vernon was very similar to Mackie— personality-wise. He was a little brat that threw temper tantrums often and would listen to certain people only.

However, he was incredibly smart at such young age, just like Mackie.

'Well, maybe he just doesn't remember what he looked like when he was a kid,' Chloe thought.

She finally interfered before Mackie got upset, "Your Uncle is just joking. You're not dumb at all. Give me your plate. I will add a little more for you."

"But Mackie doesn't want Mommy to get eaten!"

"Mommy will not get eaten," Chloe said. 'I think I won't get eaten… right?'

Chloe got up and took her daughter's plate. She added more carbs for her daughter, but not too much because it might upset her stomach, and Chloe still had to make sure Mackie ate healthily and in the right portion.

So Mackie won't grow up fat, ugly, and gross like her, at least those were the words that came out so frequently from Vincent's mouth, so she started to believe it.

Vernon decided to stop teasing his niece, and they ate in silence. Mackie and Vernon returned to their rooms to prepare for school and work, leaving only Chloe, who had just finished her plate of banana and apple before she started cooking again. This time, she had to prepare two lunchboxes.

She was relieved that Vernon seemed to be in an okay-ish mood from last night. Maybe he felt a little embarrassed because of Mackie, but wasn't that a good sign?

That meant he wouldn't do anything bad as long as Mackie was around.

…

Chloe's body stopped completely once she realized Vernon didn't yell at her because Mackie was around.

'Isn't that… the same with Vincent? Vincent abused the hell out of me until I felt numb. But he would act like a good dad in front of our daughter….'

'Vernon and Vincent… are blood brothers, so they must be the same at the roots…' Chloe thought.

She tightened her grip on the spatula because her entire body started shaking.

'That… that might be true. But I'm here to work and escape…' Chloe thought, trying to find the bright side of her current situation.

She shook her head and focused on cooking again, 'This is the only thing I can do right now, knowing that Vincent basically blocked all my way to get a proper job in a regular company. So I have to be serious about my duty as a maid.'

Vernon left his bedroom after he was done wearing his suit. He peeked from the door and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is my tie? I can't find it."

…

There was no response from Chloe, but he saw his sister-in-law packing the lunchboxes in a daze as if she was thinking about heavy stuff.

Vernon's gaze cooled once he realized the sadness in her eyes, 'She must be thinking about her failed marriage with my brother again. I saw her looking sad a few times.'

'Why is she so sad anyway? It's her fault in the first place.'

Vernon decided to grab a new tie in his drawer rather than asking for one from Chloe. Whenever he saw that sadness in his sister-in-law's eyes, it made him so annoyed that he wanted to curse at her.

'It's her fault. It's her fault in the first place. You're the idiot. I'm just here to have fun and look at your suffering.'

'What kind of suffering did you get anyway? My brother might not be the best husband. But he must've treated you with all kinds of lavishness, and you could buy everything you want, isn't that what all women want? My mom is alright with dad cheating, as long as she got paid.'

'Or maybe that's what actually matters for you. You just want the money, right? Now that you're separated from him, you have nobody to support you.'

'Did you reject my black card because it's not as much as my brother has? Yeah, fuck you too, bi—'

Vernon stopped right at that last word, not wanting to call that woman a slur. Maybe it was because of his habit when he was a kid. So he held off whenever he was angry at her.

All kinds of narration started running inside his head, and that made him even more annoyed than before. He fixed his toe and cuff by himself before he opened his bedroom door.

He saw Chloe sitting on the long sofa with two lunch boxes on her lap. She turned her head once she heard the door open, "Ah, Vernon, I wondered if you want your lunch now or later—"

Chloe was surprised when she saw Vernon looking at her like he was holding a lot of rage in his heart. She wasn't sure what she did wrong now, but she kind of got used to Vernon's crazy mood swing.

Vernon walked toward Chloe and snatched his lunch bag, "Don't come to the office today, do whatever you want. I don't care."

Vernon walked away with the lunch bag in his left hand and his briefcase in his right. Chloe stared at Vernon's back until he left by slamming the main door of his penthouse.

She sighed and got up from the sofa, 'I don't understand him at all….'

Chapter 70

'I don't understand him at all…' Chloe thought as she went downstairs. 'One time he can be nice and even generous, then he could be mean, cruel, and snapped at the smallest movement.'

Of course, Chloe was still scared of him. He was basically a more violent version of Vincent. Vincent was a piece of shit, but he never actually snapped at her.

He would always be condescending, though, playing down all Chloe's hard work, and insulting her daily, even nitpicking at the smallest thing just to get the chance to ridicule her until she got extremely depressed and had no self-worth anymore.

On the other hand, Vernon was not condescending but had violent streaks and terrible mood swings.

'They're brothers, after all. So they're basically two evils.'

'But picking the lesser of two evils is difficult… I don't think I want to end up with any of them….'

Chloe sighed as she remembered what Vernon dreamed about last night. That woman must've fucked him up because Chloe vividly remembered how obedient Vernon was when he was a child.

He might be a brat, but he would still listen when he got reprimanded, and he was cute back then.

Chloe shook her head, "There is no use dwelling in the past, Chloe. That bratty but cute and obedient Vernon is gone. That woman he loved so much must've ruined his life…."

She said that, but of course… deep in her heart, she wondered if she could help him reconcile with his loved one or ease the pain somehow…

**

Chloe drove Mackie to her school as usual. Before Mackie opened the car door, Chloe warned her;

"Remember what we talked about yesterday?"

"Un! Never give in to the bullies! Mackie is like Mommy! We are strong!"

Mackie smiled and patted her head, "But don't fight anymore, okay? If Jaden and Mia did something, report to your homeroom teacher."

"Yes! See you later, Mommy!" Mackie kissed her Mommy's cheek before grabbing her lunchbox and opening the car door. She pranced happily as she entered the school gate, greeted a few of her friends, and walked together to enter the school building.

Chloe's smile faltered once Mackie entered the building. She felt a little funny when Mackie told her that she was brave.

"My dear, I love you so much, but please don't be like Mommy. Mommy is nothing but a failure…."

**

Chloe didn't have anywhere to go because Vernon forbade her to come to the office.

"Maybe I should just return to the apartment and start cleaning a few stuff again…." Chloe wondered. But before she could decide, her phone rang.

She checked the caller and picked up the call. She put it on a loudspeaker as she continued driving.

—

"Yes, Mom?"

"Chloe, I heard you're fighting with Vincent. What's wrong?" Judith, her mom, asked on the phone.

Chloe slowed her car and parked it on the side, not wanting to be distracted while talking about this difficult stuff with her Mom.

But Chloe knew she couldn't hide for too long, so she confirmed it;

"Yes, Mom, but it's not just a fight, it's…." Chloe was unable to utter that 'divorce' to her mother. After all, her mother loved Vincent so much.

"We should talk, Chloe. Can you come to my home today?" Judith asked, and Chloe agreed.

"I'll be there in an hour," Chloe said.

"Okay, I'll be waiting, dear."

Beep.

—

Chloe took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself. Sooner or later, her mom would discover her fractured relationship anyway. There was no point in hiding it for too long.

But Chloe was strangely nervous. She kept it all by herself because she didn't want to disappoint her daughter and mother, who seemed to like Vincent very much.

So, although it hurt so much, Chloe still didn't dare to do anything for so long, scared that it might hurt her daughter and mother.

Chloe drove to her mother's home.

It was her home before, but now that her sister and brother-in-law lived with their mother, Chloe couldn't call it home.

Because her sister always had this sour look whenever she was there, as if she was not welcomed in her own house, where she grew up.

**

Chloe arrived and stared at her house from across the road. She clenched her grip on the steering wheel and opened the car door.

She pressed the bell a few times until the door was opened.

She thought she'd meet her mother, but her sister instead greeted her with a sour mood.

"Why are you here?" Chelsea— her big sister, asked.

Chelsea and Chloe were only a year in age difference, with Chelsea being the older one. They had a strong sisterly bond when they were young, up until Chloe was accepted with a scholarship in her high school.

They went to separate high schools, and all the sisterly bond just disappeared, with Chelsea bitter over her scholarship, and relationship with Vincent that ended up with marriage.

"Are you here to drop Mackie again? Oh, come on, what's so hard about taking care of one daughter?" Chelsea sneered, but Chloe didn't care about her words. She only smiled and replied politely;

"I have something to talk about with Mom," Chloe said. She sidestepped Chelsea and walked around her old house with ease.

Chelsea clicked her tongue annoyedly, "If you want to meet Mom, she is in her room."

"Ah, thanks, sis. Where are my nephews, by the way?" Chloe mentioned the sons of her sister. She had four sons, all younger than Mackie, so they all saw her like some kind of big sister.

"With their dad," Chelsea replied. "What? Do you want to say I'm not a good Mom because I don't look out for them 24/7? Well, I'm not lucky enough to be a wife of a rich man like you. All you have to do is sit and play with your daughter, right? You don't need to worry about money after all."
