"Ah—" Chloe didn't realize that something so trivial could have a huge impact on Vernon.
She was just asking about it because she wanted to see if a father-daughter relationship for Mackie and Vincent would be possible once they divorced.
But it seemed that Vernon interpreted it the wrong way.
Chloe smiled at Vernon and asked, "Do you really think that I will go back to him in case he changes to be a better man?"
"It's not impossible," Vernon replied. "You have a soft heart, Chloe. You're kind, but too kind for your own good. I don't want you to be soft on him if he begins to beg for your forgiveness."
"Do I have a soft heart, or am I just stupid enough to stay with a bastard like him for ten years straight?" Chloe ridiculed herself. She chuckled and then gently caressed Vernon's cheek with her hand. She said, "I don't think you fully understand me, Vernon. I might be kind, but even the kindest woman has her own limit."
