144 Chapter 144

"Did Uncle Vernon beat Mommy's thighs with a police stick?" Mackie asked.

Chloe's heart stopped for a second when her daughter mentioned about the redness on her thighs. Her cheeks reddened, and she had no more answer for Mackie.

'Sometimes, having a smart daughter has its disadvantages,' Chloe thought. 'What am I suppose to say right now?'

Of course, she couldn't just outright said that Uncle Vernon's cock was as thick— even thicker and bigger than a police stick, complete with a tip so big, it resembled a mushroom head…

Chloe swallowed her saliva out of nervousness. She felt guilty because she was actually imagining about that thing while talking with her daughter.

"M—Mackie, you're not making sense. Mommy is alright—"

"Really?" Mackie wondered. "But Mommy's thighs are so red. Did Uncle Vernon hit Mommy with police stick? Mackie won't forgive Uncle!"

Mackie suddenly rushed past her Mommy. She grabbed the broom along the way and carried it with two hands, then she headed towards Uncle Vernon's bedroom again.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelB(i)n. ᴄᴏᴍ',

Mackie hit the door by swinging the broom on the door, she exerted all the strength she had, thinking it should be enough to wake the big bad wolf, "BAD UNCLE, COME OUT! MACKIE WANTS TO BEAT YOU FOR BULLYING MOMMY!"

"Mackie!" Chloe ran towards Mackie. She knew that her daughter could actually be courageous and independent when needed. But she dind't expect that Mackie didn't have an ounce of fear when facing Vernon.

"Mackie, stop that!" Chloe yelled as she tried to grab the broom that she swung at the door.

"BIG BAD UNCLE, MACKIE WILL FIGHT YOU!" Mackie yelled courageously, much to Chloe's horror.

After a few seconds of struggle, Chloe was finally able to grab the broom. She snatched it from Mackie and threw it away.

Mackie was surprised when she got disarmed by her Mommy. She turned around and asked, "Mommy, Mackie is trying to help!"

"Mackie, Mommy is alright!"

"Mommy often said you're alright, but Mommy always cried alone!" Mackie retorted, thinking what she did was right and she just wanted to protect her Mommy.

She had gotten courageous these days, mostly because she realized that she could fight the bullies at school. Since she already knew how to protect herself, that meant she could use her courage to protect Mommy too!

"T—That's a different problem!" Chloe wanted to scold her daughter for not listening to her. But before she could scold Mackie, she heard a click from the bedroom door in front of her.

"Fuck, I messed up," Vernon mumbled in low voice as he laid on his bed, staring at the purple lights on the ceiling of his bedroom.

He actually woke up after he realized that he had said something so idiotic.

It was when his sister-in-law suddenly referred him as 'husband.'

He slowly recovered his consciousness when he heard that word, followed with Chloe asking him to release her because she needed to take care of 'their' daughter.

He was still half-asleep when he heard that, so he answered with a sentence coming deep from inside his heart;

'Don't be long… I need you…'

…

…

"Fuuuckk…" Vernon cursed slowly as he put his palms on his face, feeling so ashamed that he actually said something so cringy.

"Vernon Phoenix Gray, you're an idiot," Vernon said as he blamed himself over the spilled milk.

Once he opened his eyes, he saw his sister-in-law's bony figure scrambling around the bedroom in panic because Mackie banged on the door like a little devil spawn.

The room was very dim, but he did noticed her went to his wardrobe to wear one of his tee before opening the door and left the bedroom to stop her daughter.

Vernon watched the whole thing, but he pretended to sleep because it was so goddamn awkward and shameful!

What was he supposed to do? Just woke up and talk to Chloe like there was nothing happened last night?!

He didn't know how to face Chloe right now. In fact, he didn't expect to return to his apartment and actually spent his time with his sister-in-law!

He drank a lot last night to forget about her, and also fucked that waitress for a night, then he'd return to his usual self, cold and detached.

'',

But he messed up real bad, he never expected to lose total control of himself last night.

Unfortunately, he didn't remember anything last night. Though, he vaguely remembered a few details.

He remembered calling his sister-in-law, Chloe Gray, as 'his woman.'

'',

He remembered carrying her to his bed, kissed her lips, and played with her tits, ended with him fucking her thighs.

'.',

Lastly, he remembered two things— these two things were actually quite vivid in his memory.

He remembered the bony body of his sister-in-law. She was always wearing a puffy shirt. So he never noticed that she was actually so thin.

And the end, he also remembered how his sister-in-law took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.

He had no memory of what they were talking about last night. But the taste of her lips when she kissed him first was like a burst of firework inside his head.

It was so clear and vivid for a few seconds, even though he was dead drunk, but the fireworks in his head made him numb for a few seconds, thinking he could die happy at that point.

Now, he returned to reality, and he wished he could just jump out a bridge or whatever. He was angry at himself for not having self-control and allowed his heart to take over amidst his drunken state.

After all, he already told himself not to be emotionally involved with Chloe, because she was not a good woman, and she didn't want him.

She despised him, so he gave out the same energy.

'But, if she didn't want me, why did she took the initiative to kiss me? Why did she call me husband?' Vernon questioning himself, trying to make sense of the situation happened last night.
