Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

334 Chapter 334

'I know that being too thin is not healthy, but I can't help myself...' Chloe sighed, 'I'm so scared that I'd get fat again, and everyone would call me blobby, or fat bitch, including Vernon….'

'Vernon could easily claim that he is okay with me getting fatter. But when I do get fat, I bet he will also be disgusted with me….'

There was a lot of suspicion and self-doubt in Chloe's heart. It wouldn't disappear so easily, no matter how often Vernon claimed he was okay— even willing to feed her food just so she could get 'healthier.'

Truth be told, Chloe refused to believe that Vernon was in love with her because it was simply impossible to happen!

Vernon could score someone a lot better than an old, divorced woman like her, so she wanted to snap Vernon out of his stupid idea and let him find a more suitable woman.

'Time will tell. I know you will eventually kick me out of your life once you see me fat and undesirable, but by that time… I think I can stand on my own feet and leave with Mackie.'

Thus, after a long consideration, Chloe nodded, "I—I will try to eat more, so I can gain some weight…."

"Really?!" Mackie and Vernon asked at the same time. Their eyes were sparkling with joy as if it was something worth celebrating.

"Y—Yeah…" Chloe assured. "I—I can eat by myself, you don't need to feed me anymore, Vernon."

"Oh…" Vernon was a little lost. He actually enjoyed feeding Chloe. Maybe he simply liked how she depended on him, or he liked the innocent face Chloe made when she was spoonfed.

'Argh, I don't know. I simply like it!' Vernon insisted in his heart.

Thus, when Chloe was about to grab the fork, Vernon suddenly snatched it first and said, "Y—You will be fed by me during breakfast. I will ensure that you eat everything!"

"I can eat by myself…."

"And I have no problem feeding you, so open wide and eat it!" Vernon insisted.

…

Chloe didn't understand why Vernon was so stubborn about something like this. But she saw that Vernon's ear reddened for an unknown reason.

'Now I seriously suspect that he has some kind of feeding fetish…' Chloe thought. But she didn't want to talk about it in front of Mackie.

In the end, Chloe accepted her fate of being fed like a kid by Vernon while her daughter watched them happily.

It was bizarre, but hey… this was her new family, so she might as well enjoy the good time before it ended.

Vernon went to his office earlier and didn't forget to tell Chloe to make two portions of lunch for an obvious reason.

"Diamond and I have a meeting with clients outside. So we won't be in the office until around half past one. You don't need to come to the office early today," Vernon said as he stood still while Chloe was fixing his tie.

"Okay, I'll do grocery shopping first then," Chloe said lightly.

"Where will I go grocery shopping?"

"Um, the usual Citarella," Chloe mentioned. She looked up and saw the displeasure on Vernon's face. "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you with it?"

"Go somewhere else," Vernon said with a commanding tone. "Find another grocery store."

"Huh? But that's where I usually buy your food too…."

"Doesn't matter. Food is food. You can buy any kind of raw ingredients anywhere, just don't go there," Vernon insisted. "Or you can wait here, I'll tell Diamond to accompany you, in case you really want to shop in that grocery store."

"But you said that you two are going to a client meeting this morning…."

"I can go on my own, you need someone by your side!"

"Vernon—" Chloe didn't understand why Vernon became so overprotective of her. "I'm fine. It's just grocery shopping. It's not like— I'm going to war or something…."

'Oh, I know you're going on a war, Chloe. Do you think I don't know that you got attacked by your Big sister in that grocery store?' Vernon said in his heart. He almost slipped and said it out loud a few times.

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Chloe that he knew about everything, including the culprit of the attack, because he knew that Chloe would protect that bitchy Big sister of hers.

It was just in her blood to protect everyone she considered family, despite them abusing her nonstop.

"Go to a different grocery store if you want to shop alone, or I will tell Diamond or a security guard to tail you from behind!" Vernon said. His word was clear and firm, giving no way for Chloe to refuse.

Chloe sighed as she fixed his tie, "Alright, if you say so. I'll find another grocery store."

Vernon's expression gradually eased up once Chloe agreed to his demand.

"I don't understand, why are you so naggy about the grocery store," Chloe wondered. "Shouldn't you focus on something more important… like your business perhaps?"

"Both are equally important!" Vernon replied. 'I built that company for you, and I want you to find another grocery store so you would be safe. I did everything for you, that's why both are equally important.'

"Alright, alright, I promise I won't be shopping in that place. Now go and work hard, big guy. So you'll earn lots of money, hihi," Chloe patted Vernon's back with her small hand a few times.

She thought Vernon would be annoyed at her. But surprisingly, Vernon nodded seriously and replied, "I will be the richest man, just wait and see."

Vernon picked up his briefcase and walked to the front door while puffing his chest.

Chloe gazed at Vernon's broad shoulder and sighed, full of awe, "My cute little Vernon has grown up to be a handsome and powerful man. I am proud of you…." Chloe mumbled to make sure that Vernon didn't hear her.

"But you have to find a woman worthy to stand by your side, Vernon. I know you can do better…."
