"Uncle, release Mommy now! She already ate breakfast!" Mackie requested.


    "Already ate breakfast? Are you kidding me?" Vernon refused to let go because he found it ridiculous to eat so little. Chloe was so thin, too thin. Vernon was worried that his sister-inw could crumble to pieces just by a small squeeze from him.


    "She only ate two grilled cherry tomatoes and a mushroom! What the heck is that? That does not even count as a snack!"


    Vernon thought that Mackie was just trying to bail her Mommy out even though she was eating so little.


    But Mackie didn''t want to lose against her Uncle. She insisted, "Mommy already ate a lot, Uncle! She already eats more than she usually has! Usually, Mommy only—"


    "Shush!" Chloe warned her daughter not to speak too much, or she''d get punished. She felt it was unfair that she couldn''t tell Uncle Vernon that she only ate so little at their mansion.


    "What? Why do you stop talking?" Vernon asked. He knew his little niece wanted to say more, but she zipped her lip and ignored him.


    Not getting any answer from Mackie, Vernon turned towards Chloe instead, "Do I need to know something here?"


    Chloe shook her head weakly, "I—It''s nothing, Vernon. I''m feeling full already, you should finish your food. I''m going to theundry room."


    …


    Vernon knew there was something that his sister-inw hid from him. She even went as far as shushing her daughter just to keep the secret, which was surprisinging from Chloe since she was very soft-spoken and meek. So it must''ve been a very deep that she didn''t want to tell.


    Vernon could press her even more, but he kept remembering what happenedst night when his sister-inw cried because he kept pressuring her.


    He was reluctant, but Vernon finally released his arm around Chloe''s waist, freeing her from his embrace. Chloe hopped off instantly, and she distanced herself from Vernon and Mackie.


    "Y—You two should eat. I still have things to do," Chloe said. "Mackie, don''t forget to take a bath after breakfast, okay? You too, Vernon. You haven''t taken a bath sincest night…."


    "Gee, that''s why Uncle is stinky!" Mackie added.


    "What? I''m not stinky!" Vernon automatically sniffed his armpit. He was still in his suit as he didn''t take off anything before sleepingst night and frowned after sniffing. "I''ll take a bath after this," he said ashamedly.


    Chloe and Mackie giggled simultaneously, and Chloe finally left to theundry room as she hadn''t washed theundry since yesterday.


    She sat on the floor while sorting a pile ofundry that needed to be sorted out first before going to the washing machine.


    She was relieved Mackie obeyed her when she raised her voice, and Vernon didn''t probe much more about her eating disorder.


    Because that problem directly corrted with Vincent. Since Vernon was close to his Big brother, she didn''t want to ruin a sibling rtionship because of her issue.


    ''Besides, it''s shameful if he knows that his Big sister Chloe who cared for him when he was young… actually suffered depression and became a fat slob for years. It''s not a problem he should know because it''d probably ruin his rtionship and trust with his Big brother…'' Chloe murmured.


    She stopped sorting when she grabbed the shirt that Vernon used that night when he was dead drunk.


    It still had the scent of a woman''s perfume all over it, a very sweet, youthful scent mixing alongside his musky scent. Chloe didn''t know what happened that night when he was in the club, but it wasn''t her problem.


    ''Even if Vernon fucked a woman outside, it''s not my right to tell him about right and wrong. He''s young and has a high sex drive…'' Chloe thought. She couldn''t lie that she was a little sad because her cute little Vernon was gone, but Vernon wasn''t a kid anymore.


    ''Should I buy him a condom today? I''m going grocery shopping after all…'' Chloe put it into consideration. After all, she already knew Vernon''s size, so it wasn''t hard to get the right condom.


    "That makes me feel like I''m a good big sister for him, hihi…." Chloe giggled. She always had a favorable impression and opinion about Vernon simply because she always saw him as her cute little Vernon.


    "Though, he should stop ying tricks on me. I''m still a woman at heart…." Chloe smiled bitterly as she remembered what he had done to her. He touched her body so lovingly and possessively, made her try out stuff she never knew, and would probably do more in the future as he seemed to be into a few kinky stuff.


    She also remembered what happened when he was drunk. He touched her as if she was the real woman thatpletely filled his heart. It was torture because she had never felt loved for so long.


    "I haven''t been touched by Vincent for nine years. I''m also craving for love from that bastard whom I loved for fifteen years straight," Chloe said. She also counted the time she spent dating Vincent before they got married. She loved him dearly from the first time they became an official couple in high school.


    She hadn''t been touched, loved, nor treated fairly by a man for so long. How could she survive when Vernon constantly hit her with a wave of care, warmth, and fake love he showed when drunk? It was all far too much for a loveless woman like Chloe, who was fixed on the belief that she''d never be able to find true love in this life.


    After all, she had a terrible marriage. It''d be stupid for her to fall into the same trap twice.


    But, the way Vernon treated her… it was far too much…


    "Does Vernon not realize his actions will make me fall for him? It''s unfair because I know he''s only using me as a toy. After all, he just wants a new experience…."
