"What's next? You're going to feed him cake and call him a good boy for being an obedient little brother for you? That's so weird," Shailene commented.
Chloe's cheeks reddened out of shame. She knew it was weird to get so involved with Vernon's sex life outside.
But she couldn't help it, as she felt it was her duty to keep him safe, just like how she always protected him when Vernon was just a kid.
Shailene translated Chloe's silence as a sense of shame and guilt at the same time. She knew that Chloe was supposed to be her client since she was the main reason Vernon contacted her after years.
But she couldn't help being a little petty toward this woman.
Because Chloe was also the reason why she broke up with Vernon. Even if it wasn't her fault, his mind and heart were constantly filled with her.
Shailene was his girlfriend, but she never had the chance to be Vernon's number one in his heart and never will.
