Chapter 764

"Let's just wait until Vincent responds to the summons from the court. Knowing how unstable Vincent is, we might be summoned to the court next week," Vernon said.

"Oh, that would be great! It's early summer by the time I get my divorce paper, and... you know what that means, right?" Chloe winked as she boldly twirled her finger around Vernon's belly button. "It will be the perfect season for us..."

Vernon's breath heaved, "Yes, I can't wait to make you officially mine."

Vernon had expectations regarding Vincent. ηOVelUsb.cOm

He knew that his Big brother wasn't exactly a patient person.

He was prone to anger and, therefore, also prone to acting rashly out of his stupid pride.

And as expected, he got the good news about a week after Vincent got the notice from the court.

Diamond entered his office with a document from the court, "Sir, I've read it before, and Vincent is not backing down. He wants to appeal to Chloe's only request, which is a visitation to Mackie."

Diamond handed the document to Vernon, and the latter chuckled as he read the paper, "Heh, as expected, he will hang on the last rope he can find just to stop the divorce. I know how obsessed he is with my woman."

"Are we going to do the plan you discussed before, Sir?" Diamond asked as Vernon and Chloe briefed her before.

"Let's see his reaction once he knows the full truth. He is going to shit bricks," Vernon laughed at his own joke. "Answer to the court that we agree to the summon. We will come at the designated time, which should be three days from now, right?"

"Yes, Sir. Do I need to tell Chloe too?"

"No, I will tell her myself after dinner," Vernon said. "I want to make sure she is ready to face Vincent again since I know she must've been traumatized by Vincent."

"What would you do if she said she's not ready, Sir?" Diamond asked out of curiosity and concern.

"Then I will be the one who faces him. I will drop the bomb by myself."

Chloe, Vernon, and Mackie had a peaceful dinner in the penthouse, and Mackie was the first to open the conversation at the dining table.

"Mommy, how is my baby sister? Is she healthy? Are you okay?" Mackie asked as she stared at Chloe's slight baby bump.

Daddy and Mommy had already told her a week ago that Mommy was pregnant with a baby, and Mackie was so excited because she always wanted a little sister.

Chloe smiled, "Mommy is healthy and happy, and the baby inside Mommy's belly is also happy. Eat your food, Mackie. Why aren't you eating much today?"

Mackie dropped her spoon and stared at her Daddy, "It's because Daddy is the one who cooked today's dinner. He doesn't cook well, Mommy. Not as good as your food..."

"Hey, it's good!" Vernon insisted as he felt wronged after his daughter told him he wasn't a good cook.

He took a spoonful of pasta and frowned a little.

"Okay, it's not as good as your Mommy's food. I admit," Vernon sighed. "But you should understand we can't push her too much, Little Wolf. Your Mommy is pregnant with your baby brother."

"Baby sister!" Mackie pouted. "Daddy, I have a baby sister, not a baby brother!"

"Why do you want a little sister so much? Little brother is also good, right?" Vernon asked. Honestly, they hadn't done any ultrasound to check on the baby to determine whether it was a boy or a girl because Chloe's pregnancy was still in the first trimester, so they had to wait a bit longer.

Vernon didn't care whether he'd have a son or daughter. He'd love them equally. He wondered why Mackie insisted on having a baby sister instead of a brother.

"Because I already have four little brothers!" Mackie said. "Aaron, Nathan, Mike, and Tony, I don't need more!"

"I want a sister, so I can play house and dress her up with my dress collections too!" Mackie said.

"Well, we don't know about the baby yet. But you should promise me that you will treat the baby nicely in case it's a boy, okay?"

"Of course, Daddy! I finally have a sibling! I will treat her nicely!" Mackie said, but she looked at her Mommy and said, "But I still want a baby sister more!"

Mackie hopped off the chair and then rushed downstairs.

"So cute," Chloe smiled. "Well, I will make sure that she treats her baby brother nicely in case we have a boy."

"We should. But if it's a boy, then we will have to make more until Mackie has a little sister," Vernon teased, much to Chloe's embarrassment.

He finished his not-so-tasty dinner and then mentioned, "Vincent has responded to the summons from the court. We will meet him in three days, but I know you're pregnant, and it might be too much of a shock for you to meet him."

"So, if you think you're not ready to meet him, I will be dropping the bomb about the whole truth to him," Vernon offered. "Your safety and health are the most important, Love. I don't want you and our baby to be in danger."

Chloe put her utensil down and stared at Vernon with determination in her eyes, "Thank you for your support, Vernon. But I will still come and talk to him in private. I want to be the one who dropped the truth to him. I want him to know I have completely escaped his abuse."

"But what if he is threatening you? Should I stay in the room with you?" Vernon asked worriedly.

"You shouldn't. But if you're worried about my safety, then you can watch over me through the window, or you can watch it through the open door. Don't worry, I will scream in case he dares to touch me," Chloe said. Her eyes showed no fear, which was vastly different from the Chloe he met a year ago.

Chloe had regained her confidence and brilliance that had been lost when Vincent abused him nonstop for ten years.

And her courage gave Vernon assurance.

Thus, he nodded, "Alright, but I will interrupt when he tries to touch you."
