Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Thus, Chloe decided to just stay silent and let her daughter form an opinion of her own about her Daddy. She didn't want to be the instigator that started Mackie's hatred of her father, but she also didn't want to be a stupid martyr that had to cover up for Vincent's shitty behavior any more.

"Did Uncle and Mommy make up already?" Mackie asked. "Don't get angry for too long, Mommy. I usually say sorry after an hour!"

'If only it's that easy,' Chloe thought. She smiled at her daughter and patted her head, "I know. Don't worry, we already say sorry to each other. We make up quite fast...."

"Really?" Mackie dropped her dolls and shifted all her attention to her Mommy instead. "Mommy, how did you make up with Uncle so fast? I want to do that too! Maybe I can do that to make up with Jaden and Mia!"

"Ah-- um... t--that's a secret, dear...." Chloe said nervously.

Of course, she wouldn't tell her daughter that she stopped the argument with Vernon by kissing him on the lips. She gave him a kiss that was passionate enough to finally shut him up and gave him reassurance about her loyalty.

"Eehh, why? I want to know too...."

"Y--You will know about it once you get older," Chloe said.

"That's too long...." Mackie pouted.

...

'Ah, damn it,' Chloe cursed in her heart. Now she had to handle this adult stuff by making it sound kid-friendly.

"Well, Mommy just gave your Uncle a tiiiight hug until your Uncle feels better," Chloe said.

"Oh! Maybe I should hug Jaden and Mia! But if they don't want to be hugged, then I will hug my new friends later!" Mackie said. "I will hug my new friends one by one in my new school!"

"Ahaha... you can do that, dear...."

'Crap, what about Mackie's transfer when Vernon and I still have a fight like this? Should we postpone Mackie's school transfer?'

Unfortunately, she had no answer unless she confronted Vernon about it.

'Maybe I should just leave a memo to Diamond, and use her as a third-party communicator between Vernon and I,' Chloe wondered.

Nevertheless, the most important thing right now was to keep her daughter in a good mood. Good thing that Mackie seemed to be genuinely happy with Chloe making up with Vernon. Though that was yet to happen.

It would take at least a month until they could have a civil conversation because they were still trying to prove each other's point about Dorothea.

"So, have you had your lunch yet, dear?" Chloe asked, trying to find a topic that didn't involve Vernon.

Mackie shook her head, "Not yet, Mommy. I want to eat pizza!"

"Pizza? But you already ate a pizza last night, remember?"

"I still want to eat more! Um... if I can't, then I want to eat pasta!"The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

"Hm, I guess we can go with pasta then. Hold on, let me order it for us," Chloe said. She reached into her pocket and paused for a moment, 'Oh shit, I forgot that Vernon had confiscated my phone. How am I supposed to order anything?'

The realization smacked Chloe in the face.

She forgot that she needed her phone for the most basic thing since she could not cook or drive with only one hand.

'Damn it, I shouldn't have said yes so easily. I was so confident, and now I have to go up there and ask Vernon for my phone so I can order food? Where should I put my face?!'

"Mommy? What's wrong?" Mackie tilted her head as she noticed that her mother suddenly got nervous.

"A--Ah, it's nothing, dear. Hold on, let me go upstairs and grab my phone," Chloe said.

She stood up and walked to the stairs. But she stopped halfway when she saw Vernon went downstair and stood right before he hit the last step of the staircase.

"Vernon--"

"Uncle!

...

There was a short pause from Vernon. He observed Mackie, who was surrounded by a lot of dolls and seemingly in a fine mood. He was relieved that Mackie didn't seem affected by his fight with Chloe.

Thus, he directed his attention at Chloe. He pointed at the cable telephone near the TV and instructed;

"You can use that phone to contact the receptionist. Just tell her whatever you want for food, and she will order it for you. She'll also deliver it here, so you don't need to worry."

"You can also use that telephone to call Diamond or me," Vernon said. He gave Chloe all the options to help her on a daily basis but still refused to give Chloe her phone. "If you need something, you can just call the receptionist while I'm gone and use my black card to buy something if you're bored, and that includes you, Little Wolf," Vernon darted his eyes at Mackie. "You can go to the mall with your Mommy and buy something that you like. Call the receptionist and tell them to prepare for a driver and bodyguards if you two want to go to the mall."

Mackie listened to her Uncle and wondered what was in her Uncle's head. Why did he suddenly want her to go to the mall?

Nevertheless, Mackie was still happy because she could buy that Disney princess collection she had wanted for a while! One of her friends already had the complete collection, and they were so beautiful!

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Mm," Vernon smiled at Mackie before directing his attention back to Chloe, "Don't forget to wait for me late tonight. I'll be busy until ten today, but we should continue discussing Mackie's school transfer as soon as possible."

Chloe was stunned silly at Vernon, who suddenly acted so kind and generous to her. She thought Vernon and her would have very limited contact for at least one month.

But not an hour had passed since she left the room, and he already acted like everything was normal?

'Did he actually yield because of one kiss? No, right? He's so stubborn. There's no way he'd fall just because of a kiss from me....'
