"I haven't started talking and you're already lowering your head. Am I really that scary to you?" Vernon confronted. He had been dying to know about this too.
He felt that Chloe was scared of him for no absolute reason. Sometimes, he wondered if she just hated his presence, thus why she didn't even look at him.
"No, I'm not scared of you…." Chloe replied. 'Well, I was scared of you initially. Because you keep screaming at me, I feel weak whenever I get screamed at. I'd tremble and fall on the floor, cowering because I don't want to get hit….'
'But you've never hit me, even when I know that you're very angry,' Chloe said in her heart. She lifted her head slowly until she saw Vernon at the corner of her eyes, staring intently at her.
'And I realize I will not get hurt when I'm with you….'
"Really? You're not scared of me?" Vernon asked again. He was unsure if he had heard it right.
