Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

192 Chapter 192

Chloe also wrote that Mackie should focus on studying, so she would make Daddy proud.

Mackie would explode in happiness. She would smile all day long once she got the fairy letter from her Daddy. She would hold the letter and read it everywhere for the whole day before saving it somewhere safe.

Mackie had collected Daddy's fairy letters since she was four years old and treasured them in a small box full of fairy letters and small accessories that her Daddy bought for her as a gift.

Though, Only Chloe knew that 90% of the stuff inside that box was Chloe's doing. She was the one who watched her daughter's growth. When Mackie started picking an interest, Chloe would secretly note it down and hand her daughter gifts according to her interest. Of course, she did it under the disguise that it was all gifts from Vincent.

'I just want my daughter to have a normal childhood. I want her to feel treasured by her father...' Chloe assured herself in her heart. The constant guilt of tricking her daughter ate her up slowly from the inside, but she did what she thought was correct.

She didn't have a normal childhood because her father left when she was just a baby.

Her mother was left heartbroken while raising two little girls. She didn't have the time to date anymore as she was too busy working her ass off to feed three mouths and pay the bills.

So, Chloe used all her might and tricks to ensure that Mackie had a perfect childhood, despite how horrible her father truly was.

'I want to give her something that I didn't have when I was a child...' Chloe thought, justifying her action, even if she knew it wasn't the right thing to do.

"Mommy, how many fairy letters did Daddy write for me?" Mackie asked excitedly.

"O--Only one, dear..." Chloe replied. She actually wrote four before she picked Mackie from school. But she didn't want to give it all at once to avoid suspicion on her daughter. Sometimes, Mackie was too smart for her own good.

"Aww, it's okay then!" Mackie nodded happily. "I will put it under my bed, so I can dream about Daddy!"

Chloe felt her heart pinched when she heard her daughter saying such a thing. She was just trying to give her daughter a good life despite the situation she faced right now, but the more Mackie hoped for Vincent, the more it pained Chloe.

'Am I doing it right? What should I do if Mackie finds out about her father's behavior once she gets older?'

Chloe kept questioning her actions, but she didn't dare to think more of them. Because she didn't want to see an expression of heartbreak plastered on Mackie's innocent face.

'I'm sorry, my lovely little girl. I did everything because I want you to be happy....'

Vernon arrived at the office around six, when it was already dusk, and Diamond was ready to leave the office.

She was surprised when she saw the big figure standing in the middle of the VIP elevator when it opened, "Oh, Mr. Phoenix Gray, I thought you won't go to the office today."

Vernon stepped out of the elevator and walked past Diamond, "Follow me to the office, Diamond. I have something I want to ask."

Diamond tried to remember all the reports she did today and found that she did everything perfectly, so this should be something that wasn't related to work.

She tailed Mr. Phoenix Gray to enter his office and stood near the door as she watched him sitting on the sofa. He seemed to have a lot on his mind.

Diamond waited for her boss to open his mouth, but no sign of him wanting to do it.

They were stuck in this silence for a while until Diamond couldn't help but ask, "Sir, if you don't have anything to ask, then I will go home. Please excuse me--"

"--I do have something to ask," Vernon interrupted. "I'm just unsure how to ask about this problem."

"Is it about the project? Or maybe another problem in the company?"

"No, it's about... Chloe."

Diamond's eyes widened, and her body stiffened instantly. She didn't know what the problem was this time, but she hoped it wouldn't hurt her homegirl. Chloe had suffered way too much.

"Diamond, did you ever accompany her shopping?" Vernon asked.

Diamond frowned, she never knew that her boss would be thinking about such a trivial thing, but she nodded for an answer.

"What did she buy?"

"Uhh... I accompanied her grocery shopping. She's very meticulous on her spending, she often checks whether there was a price cut for an item, or maybe buy one get one, or if there was a coupon," Diamond replied, giving the full information of what she found when she accompanied Chloe to go on grocery shopping.

"I don't care about groceries, that's so trivial," Vernon said. "What I mean is about her spending when buying expensive stuff. Did you ever accompany her to buy something she likes? Maybe a diamond ring or birkin?"

"Huh?" Diamond had never been so confused in her life. "Sir, I thought you checked your credit card spending in your phone often."

Diamond noticed her boss's new habit after giving Chloe his black card. He often checked his credit card spending in the app and would be annoyed when he didn't find what he wanted after checking it.

"I did, I was just asking if she ever bought something more expensive other than trivial groceries, snacks, toys for Mackie, or eating outside," Vernon said. "I believe that she secretly has her own money saved in her account, right?"

"Sir..." Diamond sighed. "I don't know how you get that idea. But Chloe never spends on luxurious items and told me once that she barely has 100 bucks in her bank account, so she always used your credit card. The most luxurious thing she ever did with your black card is treating me and her daughter to a restaurant."
