Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 736 736

"I have work as always," Vernon replied. "What's wrong? Do you want something? We can always go to any theme park you like on the weekend, you know."

"No, no, it's not about that, Uncle…" Mackie was a little embarrassed because she had never asked her Uncle about this.

Usually, Mommy would attend any teacher-parent meeting, and it had always been like that since she attended preschool.

Her real Daddy never tried to attend any meeting. He also never attended any performance that Mackie had at school.

At first, she thought that her Daddy was just too busy to care about her. But now she realized Uncle Vernon was even busier than Daddy, yet he still tried his best to make time for her and her Mommy.

So this one was a little test that Mackie wanted to do. She wanted to know if Uncle cared enough to attend the teacher-parent meeting even during work days.

Of course, she took this chance because Mommy wasn't here. If Mommy was here, she would scold her, telling her Uncle was very busy, and Mommy would always attend the teacher-parent meeting anyway.

Mackie knew that her Mommy was right.

Uncle often returned home looking exhausted that he would fall teacher-parent meeting on Thursday, can you come instead of Mommy?" Mackie then got a little hesitant as she didn't want to get asleep on the sofa even before dinner.

But still…

She still wanted to check!

Thus, she gathered her courage and asked, "Uncle, there is a teacher-parent meeting on Thursday, can you come instead of Mommy?" Mackie then got a little hesitant as she didn't want to get scolded by her Mommy. "Um… I—It's usually Mommy who comes, but I want my D—Daddy too…"

"Oh, okay then," Vernon replied without hesitation. "I will come to your school. What time would it be?"

Mackie was shocked by how easily Uncle Vernon said yes.

She would beg her Daddy so many times before, even going as far as throwing a tantrum so Daddy would come to the teacher-parent meeting because her friends thought she didn't have a dad.

Unfortunately, Daddy would always say no, and if she began to tantrum, he would yell at Mommy, telling her to bring Mackie out because he was annoyed.

So Uncle Vernon's willingness was a huge shock!

Vernon looked at Mackie's expression and laughed, "Why are you making that expression? Do you really think that I won't come to a teacher-parent meeting with my own daughter?"

Mackie blushed and snarked, "Uncle is usually very busy! You rarely play house with me anymore!"

"Ah, I'm sorry about that, Little Wolf," Vernon smiled. "I was very busy at work. How about we go to Disneyland next week? We can also go with your cousins too if you want."

"Woah, really?!"

"Mhm, I can empty one day for us," Vernon said. "Anyway, back to that teacher-parent meeting, yes, I will come. You don't need to worry."

Mackie was amazed by her Uncle. She couldn't help getting excited. So she hopped off the chair and rushed to hug her Uncle.

"Thank you so much, Uncle!"

Vernon hugged Mackie lovingly and then patted her head, "You don't need to thank me for this. It's my responsibility, because you're my daughter."

Mackie looked up and stared at Uncle Vernon.

Usually, Uncle had those scary eyes that would make her cousins cry, but he looked very gentle right now.

Mackie felt her heart quivering. She wanted to cry, but she didn't know why.

She just thought that she wanted Uncle Vernon more as her Daddy than her real Daddy.

"Um… Uncle, it's a promise, okay? You will go to the teacher-parent meeting instead of Mommy," Mackie said.

Vernon chuckled, "Yes, I promise. Are you going to show me something during the teacher-parent meeting? You know, like that time you became a big bad wolf for the autumn festival."

"Of course! We will sing together in front of all teachers and parents!" Mackie said. "Don't be late for it, Uncle! If you're late, then I will be very upset!"

"Yes, I won't be late, Princess," Vernon said. "I also want to see you singing. I didn't know you could sing."

"Hmph! I can sing, Uncle! I'm the loudest!"

"But being the loudest doesn't mean you can sing," Vernon kept teasing her. "Why don't you show me your singing first, then I will tell you if you're good at it or not."

Vernon was just teasing Mackie.

He didn't expect her to be a good singer because Vernon was a god-awful singer. He was tone deaf, and since Mackie was basically the small, female version of him, then she should be tone deaf as well.

Mackie nodded full of determination and started singing her favorite song.

~

I love you. You love me

We are a happy family

With a great big hug

And a kiss from me to you

Won't you say you love me too?

~

Vernon was stunned after hearing Mackie's voice.

He was ready to act like she was good, so he wouldn't hurt the little girl's heart.

But she was actually good!

Mackie could sing, and she sounded good!

Mackie was proud upon seeing the shock on her Uncle's face. Everyone doubted her because she didn't look like someone who could sing.

But she was a good singer! Mommy said that she was great!

"You… who taught you how to sing?" Vernon asked.

"No one!" Mackie replied. "Mommy often sings for me before I go to sleep. She sometimes sings Disney princess songs too! I just listen to my Mommy, and then sing along!"

Vernon recalled the time when he was young.

Big sis Chloe also sang a lullaby for him, so he would fall asleep easier.

Sometimes she would hum a few songs, and Vernon would listen to them attentively.

Though, Vernon was still tone deaf nonetheless, so he couldn't sing along with Big Sis Chloe.

"What do you think, Uncle? Am I a good singer?"

"Yes," Vernon admitted. His lips twitched as he felt a little petty, knowing that Mackie wasn't totally deaf like him. "You're a great singer, Little Wolf."
