"W—Wait—" Vernon was startled by Chloe's sudden outburst and rebuttal.
"Why can't you see that I feel so guilty? I can't use one of my hands. I can't cook, can't clean, can't even take care of Mackie by myself, and I can't take care of you too!"
"Chloe, I—"
"I see that you're so exhausted, and I understand that. You're doing many things right now and still have time to take care of Mackie and me. That's why I want to do something to please you for once!" Chloe's chest rose up and down as she exerted much power to yell back at Vernon.
Fortunately, it seemed to work in the end, because Vernon went silent immediately. His mouth opened once and twice, but no words came out.
He felt awkward because he actually kept accusing Chloe, thinking she had a hidden agenda behind her kindness.
Little did he know, he was actually projecting his own sin.
Because he was the one who always had a hidden agenda for anything he did, good or bad.
