249 Chapter 249

"I mean, we--we can talk about random things while I'm cooking your breakfast...." Chloe offered.

"A talk?" Vernon turned around, interested in the invitation. "What kind of talk?"

Chloe was surprised by Vernon's sudden enthusiasm. His eyes were glimmering with expectation, though she didn't know what kind of expectation he had.

Chloe thought that Vernon would just dismiss her as usual.

But now that the spotlight was on her, she got nervous and tried to find a way to deliver her intention.

Her true intention was to tell Vernon to have sex responsibly. Because she knew that a man like Vernon could be very reckless when he was in the mood for some humping.

"Um... we can talk about your habits...." Chloe said very carefully, not wanting to offend Vernon.

"Habit? What kind of habit?" Vernon frowned. He didn't think he had any bad habits besides being a picky eater.

"You know-- about your habit of going out late... Talking to many women outside and uh--"

"Going out late? Talking to many women outside? What the fuck are you talking about?" Vernon asked. He was genuinely confused since he had never talked to any woman without any clear intention.

After he reunited with Chloe, a part of his conscience made him unable to talk with women unless it was work-related.

He knew his reputation as a playboy was already cemented in his name outside. Vernon didn't even try to deny it because it was mostly true how much of a womanizer he was.

But Chloe should've realized that he never fucked anyone outside after they reunited, right? He was such a good boy. Even Vernon didn't understand how he could become so docile now.

So why did she suddenly confront him about this kind of nonsense?

'',

'Wait, maybe she heard someone talking about me in the office? Damn, those bitches can really gossip, huh? Bet they will shut up after I talk to them later.'

Chloe noticed that Vernon seemed a little pissed for an unknown reason, which made her even more nervous.

But she had to steal her will. As a responsible Big sister, she had to teach Vernon.

"J--Just please don't be too wild outside, right? Don't forget to use c-c-c-" Chloe swallowed her saliva as she felt the last word was stuck in her throat. "-condom."

Vernon scoffed as he thought it was ridiculous that Chloe was lecturing him about using a condom as if he was a teenage boy.

He had a lot more experience than her, as she was stuck with just one man for such a long time.

Besides, he hadn't used any condoms for a few months now. Because he hadn't had sex with anyone, he waited patiently until Chloe could recover before he could eat her clean every night.

"Did you hear some weird gossip in the office? Don't mind them, it's all just gossip anyway," Vernon said, trying to pacify Chloe as he thought that she was just being jealous.

Meanwhile, Chloe felt there was a little misunderstanding when Vernon mentioned gossip.

Because it was definitely not gossip when the one who picked up the call was a woman he spent the night with.

'But he doesn't want to admit it. Is he embarrassed?' Chloe pondered. After all, Vernon was a grown-up, and confronting him about this might make him defensive.

So Chloe continued speaking indirectly.

"J--Just make sure you wear protection, okay?"

Vernon clicked his tongue as he felt annoyed by Chloe. Talking about this weird gossip also worsened his headache.

"Ignore whatever people say outside. I know how to control myself."

"But--"

"Tch, why are you going in circles about this?" Vernon finally showed a bit of his annoyance to Chloe as he found her irritating. "I'm not doing anything lewd outside. Do you think I'm some kind of sick fuck who would stick my dick to every pussy I found?!"

'

"Ah--s-sorry, I didn't mean it that way," Chloe retreated immediately as Vernon's annoyance immediately reminded him of Vincent.

"And why do you keep reminding me to use a condom? Don't act like you're my mom or something. It's weird," Vernon said contemptuously before turning his back and walking to his bedroom.

He wasn't sure if this was the correct response, but Chloe kept going in a circle about this condom and gossiping about him having sex outside. It was cute initially, seeing that Chloe might be jealous of him.

But when she started insisting, it made him feel like he was being accused of something he didn't do.

"Why doesn't she trust me with this? I keep telling her that I'm not fucking anyone outside! Damn it!" Vernon was frustrated by how little trust Chloe had for him, and the headache only worsened his irritation.

Vernon knew that his headache would only worsen if he kept feeling irritated. So he threw his body to the bed and then closed his eyes. He fell asleep quickly and wished he didn't have to dream about that scene again.

**

Chloe could only watch Vernon's back as he returned to his bedroom.

Chloe lowered her head regrettably.

"Ah, as I expected. He's a grown man, of course he will hate to be confronted about his bad habit," Chloe murmured. "He even went as far as denying everything, even though he just had sex a few hours ago with the woman he had a dinner date with."

Chloe didn't feel jealous about Vernon sleeping around. After all, she was just a Big sister figure worried about his little brother.

But it seemed that her worry was also deemed as weird by Vernon.

"He said that I'm being weird for worrying about it...." Chloe was disheartened. She had a little burst of courage a few minutes ago, thinking that it was the time for her to at least warn Vernon to practice safe sex.

But the way he called her weird had completely stomped her courage.

Chloe sighed and murmured;

"Then what am I supposed to do? I thought taking care of you is my job, Vernon...."
