Chapter 735 735

Mackie opened the penthouse door with her fingerprint and then ran to the kitchen for a glass of water.

Chloe sighed as she saw the trace of dirty shoes on the floor and then said, "Mackie, go change your shoes with the flip flop. Didn't I tell you that you're supposed to change your shoes because it's dirty?"

"Sorry, Mommy!" Mackie then tiptoed back to the front door and changed her shoes with flip-flops. Chloe smiled as she saw that Mackie was obedient. Truly, she felt a little weak these days, so she had no energy to feel

She guessed it was because of pregnancy, and despite her weakening body, she was so excited with the idea of bearing Vernon's baby.

It might be weird to some, but Chloe loved taking care of children in general, including the process of childbearing.

She still had the strength to persevere despite Vincent being an absolute scum when she was pregnant with Mackie.

She knew the baby in her stomach had no fault, so she tried to stay strong, so baby Mackie inside her belly wouldn't sense anything bad happening to her mother.

After all, the bond between the mother and her child was so strong, even before the baby was born.

Chloe rushed to Vernon's bathroom and then sat on the toilet. She took out the test pack and waited for at least five minutes until her eyes widened out of shock.

Vernon returned home after a long day at work. He was exhausted, of course. But he was also happy because Chloe visited him again. That was the first time after a while because Vernon banned her from visiting the office, fearing that someone might recognize her as Vincent's wife, and then their plan would be ruined.

Now that Vincent had no more strength to fight against Vernon, Chloe could finally obtain the freedom that she wished for so long.

"Honey, I'm home!" Vernon announced as he loosened his tie. He looked around and frowned when he didn't see Chloe in her usual place, the living room, where she would usually sit and watch TV, was empty.

He walked towards the kitchen and saw that dinner was ready, but Chloe was nowhere to be found.

"Where is she?" Vernon wondered. He began to panic as his mind made up some crazy ideas.

Could it be that Chloe realized she was still in love with Vincent, left with Mackie, and returned to Vincent's mansion?

Could it be that she realized she didn't love Vernon enough, and that's why she didn't want to be with him anymore?

Vernon's body began to shake out of fury. He began to create some nefarious plan to dismember Vincent's body in front of Chloe just to make a statement that Chloe had nowhere else to go except to be with him.

He knew his mind could be dangerous and insane, but he couldn't control his paranoia, and would rather die if he couldn't have Chloe.

"Chloe? Chloe, where are you?!" Vernon began to search around in panic, fearing that the worst had happened.

He went down and saw Mackie playing with her dolls in the living room downstairs.

Vernon finally took a deep breath because Mackie's presence meant that Chloe hadn't left him.

He approached Mackie, who was busy with her dolls and lifted the little girl, letting her sit on his arm.

"Wha! Uncle, you startle me!" Mackie yelled. She pouted but affectionately rested her head on her new Daddy's shoulder. "Welcome home, Uncle! I'm glad that you're early today, so we can have an early dinner!"

Vernon laughed.

He pinched Mackie's chubby cheek and asked, "Where's your Mommy, Little Wolf?"

"She's in your room, Uncle! She said that she's tired after cooking so much!"

Vernon finally rested his guard completely.

Chloe hadn't left him, and that was the most important thing.

But now, he felt a little guilty because his mind was making up some crazy scenario while Chloe was probably sleeping on his bed right now.

"Alright then, why don't we go up and have our dinner? Aren't you hungry?"

"I am! Gee, Uncle, you should return home sooner everyday, so I don't need to starve while waiting for you!"

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, I'm sorry."

Vernon gently put Mackie on the dining chair and said, "Your Mommy is probably sleeping right now. I'll go wake her up, you should stay here and wait, okay?"

"Okay! Don't take too long or I will eat everything myself!"

Vernon entered his bedroom and saw Chloe sleeping on his bed. It wasn't rare for Chloe to get exhausted easily, but it was rare for her to fall asleep at this hour.

Nevertheless, Vernon was glad that Chloe had no intention of leaving him.

Vernon sat at the edge of the bed. He stared at Chloe, sleeping peacefully, and then gently caressed her head, "Please don't leave me, Chloe. You know how much I treasure you, right? I can't even breathe thinking that you might disappear from me. It's a nightmare that I don't want to relive."

"Please don't ever think about Vincent. You keep assuring me that you have no more feelings for him, but I can't be assured when you keep thinking about giving him a second chance," Vernon said. "No, there is no second chance for him. I won't allow it. You only need me in your life, and I will make sure to make you happy."

"So please, don't leave me. I will die without you."

Vernon slowly leaned and kissed her on the lips before getting up.

He was about to wake her up, but Chloe looked exhausted, so he wanted her to sleep more.

"Uncle, where is Mommy?" Mackie asked as she was already munching her dinner.

"She's exhausted. Let's just let her sleep a bit more, okay?"

"Un!"

Thus, Mackie and Vernon ate dinner together.

Mackie stared at her Uncle for a while, then gathered the courage to ask, "Uncle, are you free on Thursday?"
