Thus, after calming himself, Vernon asked, "So, what do you think? Do you want to take the job to take care of these boys?"
Dorothea got up from the bed and faced Vernon, "Yes, I agree," she replied. There was a fiery determination in her eyes. "I will show you that I am a changed woman, Vernon. I may not be the good mother that you need when you are a kid, but I will show you that I can be a good mother for these boys, and good grandma for Mackie and your next children with Chloe."
Vernon would lie if he said he wasn't happy with Dorothea's resolve.
She was right. Dorothea missed her chance to raise Vernon, but luckily, Chloe did that.
