Dorothea's words were like an assurance that everything was under control and Chloe shouldn't worry about them too much.
In fact, she should be focusing on her little family—Vernon and Mackie, because they were also very important to her.
Chloe bit her lower lip.
She hated this gap between them. But she also understood that Vernon had a lot of resentment for Dorothea that he couldn't simply ignore. Dorothea abused him throughout his childhood, and he was already kind enough to let her stay with them.
She understood Vernon well.
But she wished that Vernon could eventually forgive Dorothea for her sins. So they could gather together like a real family.
"Alright then," Chloe nodded. "Do tell me if any of you need something. I'll be upstairs with Mackie and Vernon."
Dorothea nodded, "Now go, I know he needs you around, especially after a long day at work."
Chloe nodded, and she went up to return to her small family again.
