Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 739 739

It was finally Thursday, and Mackie was very nervous during breakfast.

She kept glancing at Uncle Vernon, hoping that Uncle hadn't forgotten about his promise to attend the teacher-parent meeting because she was expecting her Uncle to come.

She was so happy about having a father come and watch her performance that she couldn't sleep for the whole night.

Mackie glanced at her Uncle again and then at her Mommy, who was eating beside her. She wanted to remind her Uncle about the teacher-parent meeting, but Mommy was still with them.

Mommy would scold her if she knew Mackie didn't tell her about the teacher-parent meeting.

Mackie also knew that Mommy would stop Uncle from coming because she thought that would disturb Uncle's long and busy days at his office.

Vernon glanced back at Mackie, who was grumbling in silence. She played with her food as if she had no appetite, so he reminded her, "Little Wolf, go eat your breakfast. You need a lot of energy today, right?"

Mackie lifted her head immediately and stared at her Uncle, who gave her a thin smile. It was a reassuring smile, telling Mackie he remembered and would attend the teacher-parent meeting.

"Un! Okay!" Mackie was in a good mood after knowing her Uncle didn't forget it. She ate her breakfast as if it was the most delicious food in the world, even though she knew today's breakfast was definitely cooked by Uncle, not Mommy.

How would she know? Well, Mommy's food was always ten times tastier than Uncle's cooking!

Chloe raised her brow and asked Mackie, "A lot of energy? Is there something you need to do in school, dear?"

"Um… I—umm… I will have a PE class, Mommy! I will be the fastest runner today!"

Chloe chuckled.

Of course, she knew Mackie was trying to cover up so Chloe wouldn't scold her.

Honestly, Chloe was a bit worried about Vernon since he had a lot to do at work.

But seeing how enthusiastic Vernon got when he said he wanted to be part of Mackie's life as her new father, Chloe realized that she had to stop being too overprotective of Mackie.

In the end, Mackie herself accepted Vernon into her life as the new father figure. Chloe didn't need to do anything and let this father-daughter duo develop their relationship.

"Alright then, go finish your breakfast first, and then we will go to school with Aaron," Chloe said.

"Un!"

Mackie finished her breakfast and then went downstairs to grab her bag. She didn't bring many books because today was supposed to be a teacher-parent meeting, so there'd be no class.

Instead, she put her tiara inside her bag for the special performance!

"Are you sure that you can go this morning?" Chloe asked. "I mean, I want you to come as well, but if you're way too busy, then I will tell Mackie about it. I'm sure she will understand."

"I will empty my schedule until lunch today. I don't want to miss the performance from my own daughter," Vernon said. "You're coming too, right?"

Chloe giggled, "Of course, you know that I won't miss Mackie's performance as well. She loves attention, especially the ones from her family members."

Mackie, Chloe, and Aaron left the penthouse first as they headed to the school, followed by Vernon, who was following their car from behind.

The car stopped at the gate, and Chloe asked, "Dear, are you sure that I don't need to attend anything at your school today?"

"Ah, Aunty, there is—Ummph!" Aaron was startled when Boss Mackie suddenly covered his mouth.

"There is nothing, Mommy! Let's go, Aaron, we're going to be late!" Mackie hurriedly opened the door and dragged Aaron with her, so he wouldn't accidentally tell Mommy about the teacher-parent meeting.

Chloe chuckled amusedly as she watched Mackie dragging Aaron into the school hall, "Mackie has her own secret now. I guess it's inevitable. It's just part of raising your child."

"What kind of secret, Ma'am?" Meyer asked, worried that Mackie might be in trouble. "I will help if it's hurting her, or I can tell Mr. Phoenix Gray about it."

"No, no, it's fine. Vernon and I know about this," Chloe said. "It's just a harmless secret. I will tell you later."

"Yes, Ma'am," Meyer said. He wanted to chat more with his female boss. But he zipped his mouth, and his face paled instantly when he saw the figure of a man peeking at them from outside of the car. His eyes glared at Meyer as if he were about to kill him.

Meyer hurriedly opened the door for his female boss and then faced Mr. Phoenix Gray, who stood tall while crossing his arms.

Meyer was not a small guy. He had lean muscles. He was trained as a fighter but was still scared when facing Vernon, "G—Good morning, Sir."

Vernon didn't respond at first. He just waited for Chloe to walk toward him and circle her hands around his arm.

"Let's go, Vernon. The other parents are already going in."

"Mm," Vernon nodded. But before they left, he told Meyer, "Your job is to protect and drive my wife around. You're not allowed to flirt with her, you know the risk if you dare, right?"

"I dare not, Sir!" Meyer replied.

Chloe pinched Vernon's hand to warn her, "Don't be so harsh on Meyer. He's respectful, I consider him as my friend, you know."

Vernon's eyes widened, his glare towards Meyer worsened, and it scared Meyer so much.

"Since when did I allow you to befriend her, Meyer?" Vernon asked.

Meyer gulped. He was so scared that he wanted to run away right now, "W—We just talked sometimes, Sir."

Chloe sighed. She tiptoed and kissed Vernon on the cheek, much to Vernon's surprise.

"Is that enough to assure you? You don't need to be jealous for no reason at all, handsome," Chloe said. "You know that I will never betray you. You shouldn't scare an innocent person like that."
