156 Chapter 156

Vernon continued staring at the lingerie and knocked his forehead on the steering wheel a few times, "Vernon Phoenix Gray, you're a fucking disgrace to your family."

He didn't know why he had that intrusive thought, and he also didn't know why he followed it. He was literally stealing black lingerie from his sister-in-law like a creep!

He tried to calm himself and stared at the black lingerie again. He noticed that it was a very sexy one, with only a string that barely covered the pussy lips.

Vernon's mind automatically imagined his sister-in-law only wearing this while sitting on his bed, waiting for him.

"Fuck, stop it!" Vernon threw the lingerie on the passenger seat beside him. He was so distracted by the idea that he was keeping the black lingerie of his sister-in-law, but he was actually stuck right now.

"Urgh, what should I do then?" Vernon asked himself. Of course, he couldn't just return it to his sister-in-law. That was ridiculous!

"Maybe I could pick it up again and drop it somewhere in my room so she could find it?" Vernon wondered, then he quickly ditched that idea. "No, I can't. It'd be so weird if she couldn't find it the first time and it suddenly appeared out of nowhere in my bedroom. She'll get suspicious."

"Then, what should I do?"

…

Vernon had to admit that he didn't know what to do with the lingerie. So he pushed this problem aside and put the lingerie in the glove box compartment. He opened the compartment and just remembered this was a new car, so this thing— the black lingerie— would be the first item he put inside his new car.

Usually, he put his prescription glasses, spare perfume, or a bag of condoms inside his car's glove box before he reunited with his sister-in-law.

'Can't believe I'm keeping literal lingerie in my car right now. What has gotten into you, Vernon?' Vernon mocked himself before he put the lingerie inside and closed the glove compartment.

He took a deep breath to clear his head. He never thought a woman could be this distracting, but he needed to focus now because he had to focus on the project with his Big brother's company to gain his trust.

Vernon gripped the steering wheel and pressed the gas, leaving the apartment building and heading to meet his business partners.

"Mommy, where are we going?" Mackie asked as she put on the shoes that her Mommy had prepared for her. Tutoring had been canceled today, so she thought she could spend the day not doing anything other than playing with her dolls.

But her Mommy suddenly told her to get dressed because they were going somewhere today.

Chloe smiled and patted Mackie's head, "Dear, don't you say you want to watch the new movie? Uh… Minion, right?"

"Oh, yes! Mackie wants to watch that one!" Mackie nodded in full spirit. "My friends at school said it's so good!"

"Then we're going to watch it today," Chloe said.

Mackie's eyes glimmered with joy, "Really? We're going to the mall?"

"Yep!"

"Yayy!" Mackie jumped happily and hugged her Mommy's thighs. "Mommy, can I eat Ice cream too? It's been a while!"

"But not too much, okay?"

"Okay!"

After Mackie dressed, Chloe grabbed another scarf and covered her neck and collarbone. She didn't want anyone to see her love marks in public.

"Mommy, isn't it a little hot wearing scarf right now?" Mackie asked.

"A—Ah, not really, Dear. Mommy just wants to use it," Chloe replied.

Mackie still didn't believe her Mommy, but her attention was shifted to the movie and ice cream!

"Mommy, let's go! I want to eat Ice cream first!"

Chloe smiled and held her daughter's hand, and left the apartment.

Chloe wanted to call Diamond and asked if she was free to go to a movie with them. But then she realized that Diamond was still a young lady, so she must've had a plan with her friends perhaps— or maybe a date on the weekend.

Thus, Chloe and Mackie went to the usual mall they always visited, thinking nothing wrong would happen there.

Chloe and Mackie went to the cinema first to buy tickets and decided to watch it around seven in the evening. Thus, they still had time to eat in a Japanese restaurant that Mackie liked.

"Mommy, you should eat more!" Mackie said. "Eat like Mackie!"

Mackie demonstrated how she ate by opening her mouth wide, then stuffed a whole boiled egg in her mouth before munching very slowly.

Chloe chuckled and gently wiped the soup stain around Mackie's mouth.

"Don't eat like that in front of other people, okay? Especially your Daddy's family," Chloe warned since she'd be heavily criticized and looked down on when Mackie didn't follow the table manner like the rest of her distant cousins.

Chloe did teach Mackie about table manners since she was five, but Mackie was still too young to understand. She was naturally an active little girl who liked to eat fast. She'd also eat faster when the food was really good.

'Just like the young Vernon,' Chloe thought as she remembered how that evil young master ate when he was young. 'Oh, the adult Vernon also does the same. He will eat fast when he likes the food, then ask for a second plate….'

"Homp—ump—amp!" Mackie tried to speak with an egg inside her mouth, which made it funnier for Chloe.

After Mackie ate the egg, she repeated her sentence, "I don't want to eat with Daddy's family again! I hate them!"

"Don't say that…." Chloe tried to force a smile. "You still like Grandma, right?"

"Well, only Grandma, I don't like the rest!" Mackie insisted.

"Mackie…"

Honestly, Chloe didn't want to alienate Mackie from the family. Chloe had a long-time problem with Vincent and the Gray family, but Mackie was still the darling of her Grandma, Dorothea Gray.

Chloe planned to allow Mackie to visit the Gray family, especially Dorothea, after she finished the divorce process.

'Which would take a long time since that bastard still doesn't want to sign the paper….'
