"And by connecting this estranged pair of daughter and son might be able to make him happy, or at least realized that he's well-loved…."
After making her decision, Chloe grabbed her phone and turned it on. She had at least four more missed calls before Dorothea gave up. Though Chloe believed that her mother-in-law would call her again, there were so many things they had to discuss.
"But I have to be careful. I can't let my emotions control me," Chloe reminded herself. She was already stupid enough to marry Vincent, to let her family trample her all over, and to fall into Maria and Vincent's traps twice— first in the coffee shop, second in the Principal's office.
She couldn't mess this up, especially when this involved Vernon.
Thus, instead of calling Dorothea, she had to take more… careful approach because listening to Dorothea's voice kept apologizing to her made Chloe feel vulnerable and made her feel like she could trust Dorothea with her life.
