So I promise to make up for it. I will be the man you can rely on, Chloe. Even if it will cost me everything,' Vernon swore in his heart. 'As long as it doesn't cost you, then I can do anything for you.'
Meanwhile, Chloe had something else in mind. She knew Vernon was smoking because he was stressed about the whole ordeal with Vincent and the company's affair.
Chloe also saw the amount of stress that Vincent had to handle, but he didn't smoke.
Instead, Vincent would beat and torment her until she cried, and then he would be satisfied. It was his way of de-stressing, and Chloe stupidly thought she could be the martyr. Her daughter would be safe and happy if she endured all the abuse.
'But I'm still a human in the end. I can't endure too much pain. So I filed for divorce and ran away….'
Honestly, Chloe was still doubtful in her heart.
