"Vernon…" Chloe called his name amidst the flooding emotion in her heart. Vernon claimed he could protect Chloe and her daughter with so much confidence despite all the odds, and it made her feel wanted.
Vernon said the same thing a few times, and it never got boring or tasteless in Chloe's ear. Because It was like a constant reminder and assurance that she was well protected and didn't have anything to worry about as long as she trusted him.
"You're surely a big man now," Chloe smiled. He leaned down and gave Vernon a deep kiss on his forehead.
Vernon's body jolted for a split second, but he said nothing until Chloe finished the kiss.
Chloe finally lifted her head after a while and smiled when she saw the reddish hue on Vernon's cheeks. He was still closing his eyes, still expecting another kiss from his beloved.
"Hey, we're done with the kiss," Chloe reminded.
Vernon opened his eyes slowly, "Another tease," he complained.
