"O—Okay, I will listen to you…" Chloe nodded obediently. "Just please, don't cry anymore, okay? I can't see you cry, Vernon. It hurts me as well…."
Vernon nodded and gave Chloe a kiss on the lips before letting her go, much to Chloe's embarrassment.
"W—Well, I'll go to Mackie now," Chloe said. She hurriedly got up and went downstairs, feeling weird that she had to agree to Vernon's request without much fight.
Honestly, she was ready to argue with Vernon for the whole day because she didn't want Vernon to be too obvious with his protection. What if the supposedly secret visit to see Judith's body turned into a chaotic mess because Vernon's bodyguards attracted too much attention?
'I just think that sometimes Vernon can be too paranoid…' Chloe thought.
She sighed as she walked to Mackie's bedroom door, "Well, now that I've said yes, I guess it can't be helped. I just hope nothing bad will happen."
