Chloe was unaware of the dark thoughts swirling inside Vernon's head. Because she still felt his warmth, the arms around her waist started getting too tight, making her wince a bit.
But she truly believed that Vernon would never hurt her.
So she relaxed and gently put her hand on Vernon's big veiny hands wrapped around her waist. She snuggled and rested her head on his chest.
She slightly tilted her head to look up and stared at Vernon's strong jawline.
Even from this angle, Vernon still looked magnificently handsome.
"Well, that's what my logic told me, Vernon," Chloe said. "But I'm a woman, and a woman also uses her heart more than a man does."
"And what does your heart tell you to do?" Vernon asked. His tone was cold and somewhat carried heavy possessiveness that came out of nowhere in Chloe's mind.
Chloe smiled. She lifted her left hand and pinched Vernon's chin, forcing him to look down until their eyes met.
