Vernon couldn't maintain his glare after Chloe kissed him.

His lips curled up, but he still tried his hardest not to smile. He then said to Meyer, "Don't get too intimate with my wife, Meyer. You know this is for your own good."

Meyer nodded vehemently, knowing Mr. Phoenix Gray wasn't joking.

Mr. Phoenix Gray was mostly a very lax man who would pay him a lot. He was also a competent boss that ensured Meyer's identity would remain a secret as long as he worked for Vernon.

But he was overly jealous and somewhat of a psycho regarding his wife, Mrs. Chloe Phoenix Gray.

It was fortunate that Chloe was a very kind-hearted woman.

If she was just a bit bitchy, she would unleash hell on everyone because she could just tell Vernon to do something if her demand wasn't fulfilled.

"Sorry for him, Meyer, he's not serious about his threat," Chloe said as she tried to drag Vernon to the school.

"I'm serious about my threat, by the way," Vernon insisted as he allowed himself to be dragged by Chloe.

"Don't do that, Vernon. Meyer is very loyal to you. He's also respectful to me."

"Then you should limit your conversation with him," Vernon said. "He's still a man, and you're so unbelievably gorgeous, my wariness is justified."

'I think it's just you who think like that,' Chloe thought. She didn't want to argue with Vernon right now because she knew how stubborn Vernon could be.

They entered the school's main hall and were greeted by the headmaster, who told them to go straight to the school theater for the choir.

Chloe and Vernon walked together toward the school theater, and the moment they entered the theater, they saw Mackie lining up with the other choir members on the stage.

She stood in the middle and was the only one who wore a tiara, making her the main character of the whole choir.

? ? ? ? ? ?.

Mackie was looking around sadly, the other students had their parents attending, and they were already sitting in their seats, waiting for the choir to start.

But she was yet to find Uncle Vernon anywhere. She wanted her father figure to attend, so it would feel special.

Of course, her Mommy was also special, but she wanted her father to come instead. It was the only reason she wore the tiara, so Uncle Vernon wouldn't mistake her for someone else.

But then, before the choir started, she saw two figures walking side by side as they entered the school theater.

Mackie's eyes widened, and she was surprised that Uncle finally came, but she was even more surprised seeing her Mommy beside him.

They smiled and waved their hands at Mackie before sitting on the nearest empty seat.

Mackie was initially scared, thinking that her Mommy would scold her for hiding the teacher-parent meeting invitation.

But Mommy didn't seem to be upset.

She looked very harmonious with Uncle. They looked great together!

Mackie felt like she was about to cry right now.

She might be young, but she understood the sense of ease and joy in her heart. She was so happy when she saw Mommy and Uncle together because this was the first time her 'father' came to the school to watch her performance, and it was also the first time Mommy looked so happy to come to school with her spouse.

One of her friends standing next to Mackie followed Mackie's line of sight and then asked in a low voice, "Are they your parents?"

"Un, they are my Mommy and Daddy," Mackie replied. "They come here to watch my performance."

"They are so handsome and beautiful! You look like your Daddy so much, you know," her friend commented.

"Un! That's because I'm his little wolf!" Mackie claimed.

"Attention, everyone. We're about to start soon!" The music teacher raised his voice to grab the attention of the choir.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Vernon watched Mackie, who was standing in the middle as the spotlight of the choir.

She was so proud of Mackie because there was a trace of her inside her daughter.

Mackie was confident and bright, just like the young Chloe.

Chloe was timid and reserved right now because of all the humiliation that forever scarred her self-confidence.

But she was also bright and confident when she was Mackie's age.

Chloe participated in a lot of activities, mostly about arts.

She was part of the children's theater and choir, just like Mackie.

She was also a naturally gifted student in terms of academics. So her studies never suffered despite being popular in school, and she was happy that Mackie also inherited her capability.

'Though, her personality is basically a copy paste of Vernon,' Chloe thought. She glanced at Vernon. She saw him taking his phone out and aimed his camera at the stage.

"Okay, I will record it once the choir starts," Vernon said.

Chloe smiled when she saw Vernon getting so excited to record his daughter's choir. It reminded her of when Mackie first sang alone on a stage when she was only five.

She was watched by all the kindergarten teachers, students, and also parents. She had no stage fear at all.

She sang Barney's theme song, and Chloe recorded everything.

She still had that recording up until now on her old laptop. It was a piece of memory that she often watched alone to remember that she had the responsibility to raise her daughter to be a great person.

Chloe might've been robbed of her childhood's confidence and brightness.

She might've been robbed of her many dreams.

But she wanted to ensure that Mackie would never suffer the same.

Mackie would be a great woman, no matter what.

"Do you want me to help? Your hand is shaking," Chloe offered.

"Sorry, I'm just too excited, watching my Little Wolf performing got my heart racing," Vernon said. He then took a deep breath to calm himself and steady his hand, so he wouldn't mess up the video recording.
