"Vernon…" Chloe called his name amidst the flooding emotion in her heart. Vernon claimed he could protect Chloe and her daughter with so much confidence despite all the odds, and it made her feel wanted.

Vernon said the same thing a few times, and it never got boring or tasteless in Chloe's ear. Because It was like a constant reminder and assurance that she was well protected and didn't have anything to worry about as long as she trusted him.

"You're surely a big man now," Chloe smiled. He leaned down and gave Vernon a deep kiss on his forehead.

Vernon's body jolted for a split second, but he said nothing until Chloe finished the kiss.

Chloe finally lifted her head after a while and smiled when she saw the reddish hue on Vernon's cheeks. He was still closing his eyes, still expecting another kiss from his beloved.

"Hey, we're done with the kiss," Chloe reminded.

Vernon opened his eyes slowly, "Another tease," he complained.

"What? Do you expect something else?"

Vernon opened his mouth. He had a list of what to do next after a simple forehead kiss. But he zipped his mouth again in the end.

He didn't want to sound too demanding, which might lead to another fight with her. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Thus, Chloe continued massaging his scalp and temple, and Vernon enjoyed it. He was about to fall asleep plenty of times but refused to sleep because he didn't want to waste this good time.

The atmosphere was right, and both were in a good mood. So Vernon thought this was the time to…

"Chloe." f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"Hmm?"

"About Dorothea— I—"

"Stop," Chloe interrupted him quickly. "Let's just stop talking about her for now, okay? I don't want to fight with you. I just want us to be on good terms, at least for one night."

"Okay."

Thus, Vernon resisted his. He was about to give up so he could have sex. He was so close to saying he would allow Chloe to make a short call to that old bitch under Vernon's supervision if they could finally break the barrier.

'Well, I guess it's just my time to fast. I'll eat her later,' Vernon thought.

Thus, Chloe and Vernon spent the night talking about random stuff that didn't involve Dorothea, Vincent, or work, and it was the first night they felt at ease in each other's company.

"You don't need to bring your backpack, dear," Chloe reminded Mackie as Mackie went upstairs with her backpack.

"But I will go to school today, Mommy!" Mackie chirped excitedly. "I have everything ready in my backpack!"

Chloe giggled, "Dear, we're going to visit each school first, and then you can decide which one you like the most. Okay?"

Mackie was a little disappointed she couldn't start school today, but she nodded and returned her backpack to her room before going to the penthouse again.

Mackie was surprised when she saw Uncle Vernon and Diamond already standing and chatting with her Mommy near the dinner table.

"Good morning, Uncle! Diamond!" Mackie greeted them both. They all turned their heads simultaneously, and their faces brightened when they saw Mackie.

Diamond crouched in front of Mackie and said, "Morning, Mackie. Are you ready to see ten new schools today?"

"Un!" Mackie nodded excitedly. "Uncle said you will accompany us today!"

? "Hihi, that's true. I'll accompany you and your Mommy, and keep you two safe!" Diamond said.

She got up and spun her body to face Vernon and Chloe, "Alright then, shall we go?"

"I'll be ready in five minutes— or ten," Chloe said as she rushed downstairs.

Vernon also excused himself, "I'll go to work early You don't need to work today, Diamond. Just make sure to keep them safe," he reminded.

"Understood, Sir."

"Mm," Vernon gave Mackie a quick glance and grinned. "See you later, Little Wolf."

"See you later, Uncle!"

Vernon strode through the foyer and left the penthouse shortly after.

Now there was only Mackie and Diamond in the penthouse. Diamond leaned on the wall, playing with her phone in silence. She thought Mackie would run around like a kid her age or probably grab her phone and play fruit ninja.

But she didn't do any of that.

Instead, Mackie looked up and stared at Diamond without blinking for a long time.

Diamond tried to ignore it for a moment but couldn't help to get nervous and distracted by Mackie's stare.

So she pocketed her phone and looked down, "Do you need something?"

"Un," Mackie nodded. "Diamond, you're so tall and beautiful, you look like Princess Tiana!"

"Oh?" Diamond was flattered by the little girl's compliment. Kids were brutally honest with their compliments and insults, so it was an honor for Diamond. "Well, thank you. You're also a princess, you know?"

"I am?"

"Mhm, you look like… hm…." Diamond wanted to say Princess Mia from Princess Diaries. But she remembered that movie wasn't something a kid would watch. "Well, you look like Snow White!"

"I look like Snow White?" Mackie didn't seem to be happy with the compliment she got. "Umm, I want to be more like Mulan! She is strong, and she can protect her family!"

"Ohh, that's great!" Diamond approved Mackie's view of what a princess could do. "Do you want to be a warrior like Mulan when you grow up?"

"I want to be a policewoman! I want to protect my Mommy and hit the baddies!" Mackie exclaimed, and Diamond smiled in response;

"I believe that you can be a great cop. You should protect your Mommy at all costs, okay? She has gone through a lot…." Diamond said.

Mackie nodded again.

"Diamond, do you know that Mommy is also a princess just like you and I!"

"Then, which princess is she?"

"She is Belle from Beauty and the Beast!" Mackie said. "Mommy is very beautiful, smart, and kind!"

"Oh? Then I suppose the beast is…."

"Uncle!" Mackie said without hesitation. "Uncle is a beast! He is mean, loud, and scary!"
