Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

278 Chapter 278

"I can grab a snack on my way, or I can just call Diamond," Vernon said. "Just make sure to cook two portions for lunch."

Vernon got up from the chair and headed to his bedroom to prepare himself for work. He picked the formal outfit that Chloe had prepared on the sofa and entered his room.

Mackie finished her pancake and drank the rest of the banana-apple juice before jumping off the chair. She walked towards her Mommy and hugged her waist;

"Mommy, I'm so happy today!"

"Really? Because you ate with Uncle Vernon again?"

"Um… that's one thing. But seeing you eating a lot makes me really happy! You can eat Mackie's food as much as you want, Mommy!" Mackie said. "I feel really sad when I saw you eating so little. So if you can eat like this everyday, you will make Mackie happy everyday!"

Chloe was stunned by her daughter's statement. It was so innocent and warmed her heart.

She knew that Mackie was a smart little girl, but she didn't expect Mackie to be so compassionate.

She always thought that her daughter was simply a little girl who was ignorant of everything.

But it didn't seem to be the case because her daughter could sense the distress and depression that Chloe had experienced so far.

'Ah, I'm about to tear up….'

Chloe rubbed her daughter's head carefully and replied, "Then Mommy will try to make you happy every day."

"Yayyy! Mommy is the best!" Mackie tiptoed and kissed her Mommy's cheek before going down to prepare herself for school.

Chloe stared at the dirty plates on the dining table, and a smile slowly bloomed on her lips, "Ah, I feel so peaceful right now. Is this what it feels like to have a complete family?"

Chloe lifted her gaze and stared at Vernon's bedroom door, "To have a man who loves me tenderly. It feels like heaven…."

Chelsea threw herself on the bed after a long day at school. She had so much headache right now.

She was dealing with a lot in life currently. She was overworked and underpaid as an elementary school teacher, and her mother's health started deteriorating because of that whore Chloe's actions.

Usually, she could handle those two problems, but things worsened after she had a fight with Chloe in the grocery store a few days ago.

Because her four sons acted weird after the incident.

They became distant and looked at Chelsea— their own mother as if they were looking at a monster that would eat them.

They became quiet and rarely bugged Chelsea for the most random topic ever, something they used to do before that accident.

In short, they simply became reluctant to get close to their mother, and the more Chelsea saw this, the angrier she got over time.

Chelsea was staring at the ceiling fan while lying on her bed. She gritted her teeth and blamed one woman for making her life even more difficult, "It's all because of that whore, Chloe. She's trying to taunt me until I'm angry and lashed out at her!"

"She's a manipulative whore. Why did Vincent married her in the first place? Obviously, he is too good for her!" Chelsea complained. "There are a lot of better women for him. A strong woman who can handle him and support his work!"

One thing that kept bugging her was that Vincent decided to settle down with Chloe.

Chelsea knew that Chloe was gorgeous when she was young. But that shouldn't be a reason for Vincent to marry her because Vincent was the Master of the Gray family. He could even marry a supermodel if he wanted to!

Chelsea had to admit that her resentment towards Chloe stemmed from the fact that Chloe dated and married the best bachelor ever, Vincent Gray.

Chelsea saw him for the first time when Chloe brought Vincent to their shabby apartment, and she was instantly awed by his look.

Vincent had that handsome and gentle aura. Chelsea's heart was beating like a drum whenever Vincent smiled at her.

p He even spoke like a real gentleman, soft-spoken towards Chelsea's family but firm and could be harsh to his chauffeur or bodyguard.

He was the perfect man for Chelsea— and for many women in this world.

His eyes were only for Chloe, no matter how many times Chelsea tried to strike up a conversation to warm up her relationship with Vincent, but that perfect man kept mentioning Chloe in their conversation, giving no chance for Chelsea to crawl inside his heart to replace Chloe's position.

Thus, a seed of jealousy towards her little sister sprouted in Chelsea's heart, which would bloom into an ugly flower as time passed.

'This is all because she doesn't let me have my chance. She kept occupying Vincent, even though I already hinted that I want to have my chance to be with him as well!'

Chelsea knew it was childish of her to throw a tantrum at this age. She was already 36, yet her love and worship towards Vincent never dissipated.

But she would go insane if she had nobody to blame, especially when she had to work and care for her sick mother, four sons, and Tommy— her husband. He was barely earning any money since he was working odd jobs outside.

She hated everything, especially because she wasn't married to a rich man like Vincent. Thus, she had to bear living in poverty, barely able to cover her family expenses.

If it hadn't been for Vincent's generosity in giving her family an allowance every month, they would be living in the street now.

"Ah… if only I can have a perfect husband like Vincent Gray. My life would've been a lot easier and happier," Chelsea said. She started imagining Vincent's face on the ceiling, smiling at her with his gentlemanly smile as he called her name—

Ding-Ding!

Chelsea snapped out of her daze when she heard her phone's text ringtone. She grabbed her phone to check the sender, and her expression brightened when she saw the name.
