Chloe giggled, "Just promise me that you will treat Mackie the same. Though she is not your biological daughter, I trust that you will treat her as one, promise?"
"Of course! She is also my daughter!" Vernon insisted. "In fact, I think she's more similar to me than to Vincent."
"Well, that's true, maybe because I've been thinking about you every day when I was pregnant with Mackie back then," Chloe admitted. Her cheeks reddened as she recalled all the nights she wished she didn't accept Vincent's proposal. She often remembered Vernon fondly since she didn't have any other man in her life other than Vincent and Vernon. Wishing that she had married Vernon instead of Vincent, though she knew it would never happen.
Vernon grinned, "No wonder Mackie looks exactly like me. Turns out you've been thinking about me the whole time."
