Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chloe clenched her fist. She had to stay strong. If she kept being the doormat she was, she would never be able to save Vernon.

So she nodded and replied;

"I promise I will not make a scene. Please open the door, Sir."

The bar owner nodded. He opened the door and allowed Chloe to see what was happening inside.

...

...

...

Chloe was prepared for the worst. She was expecting something absolutely deprived, maybe to see Vernon fucking at least three women at once.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',

Or maybe even ten since he had much more vitality than Vincent.

She knew it would hurt her heart to see the little boy she raised growing up to be just like his Big brother, malicious and debauched.

But what she saw wasn't what she expected.

She saw Vernon sleeping while resting his head on a woman's lap. They were both still fully clothed, and there was no sign of fear or struggle from that woman who was definitely the woman on the phone.

The bar owner sighed in relief. At least it wasn't as bad as he thought, "I will leave you to deal with this alone, Miss."

Cynthia, the waitress, was petrified when she saw a woman with similar features standing at the door, staring at Mr. Phoenix Gray, who was sleeping soundly.

Cynthia panicked. She tried to wake Vernon up by giving him a few light slaps on his cheek.

"Mr. Phoenix Gray, Sir! Please wake up!" Cynthia called his name, but Vernon didn't respond. He was too drunk and exhausted after so many things happening today.

Chloe watched everything, and she ambled toward Vernon and Cynthia.

She felt complicated in her heart.

Truthfully, she was relieved that Vernon wasn't fucking this woman because she would forever see Vernon as Vincent 2.0.

But when she saw Vernon sleeping peacefully on this woman's lap, she felt something she wasn't supposed to.

There was a burning sensation in her heart, as if...

As if she was jealous...

'No, why would I get jealous?' Chloe asked herself as she approached Vernon and the waitress. 'I'm not supposed to get jealous. Vernon and I... we're supposed to be a family....'

Chloe stood in front of Vernon and Cynthia, and the latter stared at Chloe with fear in her eyes, "M--Miss, this is not what it looks like. Mr. Phoenix Gray is--"

"It's fine," Chloe interrupted, not wanting to hear even more description of what these two were doing. She feared she'd get even more jealous if she heard how intimate they were.

Chloe checked the woman with similar features to her, which was strange. But Chloe took this as a coincidence since her facial features weren't uncommon.

"Miss, did he do something to you?"

"N--No, he just... he did nothing but sleep...." The waitress tried to explain, so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.

"Well, as long as he didn't force you...." Chloe replied. She shifted her attention to Vernon, sleeping on the woman's lap.

'',

His face was reddish, so Chloe knew Vernon was drunk right now.

"Vernon, wake up..." Chloe said to Vernon.

"M--Miss, I don't think Mr. Phoenix Gray will wake up. I've tried to wake him up to no avail...."

...

Chloe called his name again, "Vernon, let's go home. I'm here to pick you up."

"No, don't wanna...." Vernon mumbled in his sleep, much to Cynthia's shock.

Mr. Phoenix Gray was completely unresponsive when she tried to wake him up, but he responded to his lover's voice.

'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',

Cynthia observed Chloe from the corner of her eyes. This woman looked so soft and fragile, but her eyes were brimming with determination.

Chloe knew that Vernon could hear her. It was the same case as before when Vernon was dead drunk but still responded and reacted to what Chloe said and did, to the point that they almost had... sex.

Chloe's cheeks reddened, and she shook her head, trying to dispel the perverted idea in her mind.

She knew that Vernon needed a bit more persuasion, so she lowered her head and whispered;

"Vernon, come home with me, okay? I've been waiting for you...."

...

Vernon opened his eyes instantly. His eyes were bloodshot red, but when he heard the sweet voice of his beloved woman, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

Vernon got up from Cynthia's lap. He sat on the sofa with Chloe standing in front of him.

He looked at Chloe with eyes full of love and worship.

Chloe showed him a sweet smile that made his heartbeat accelerate, 'Am I forgiven?' Vernon wondered.

He was still drunk, and everything was blurry around him. But Chloe's face glowed with gentle light, giving the illusion that she was a goddess that would take him to heaven.

And because of her, he regained some of his consciousness.

"Vernon, can you walk?" Chloe asked gently.

"Yes... I... I can walk...." Vernon replied, his eyes continued staring at Chloe without blinking.

"Good," Chloe slowly reached Vernon's cheek and caressed his cheek tenderly.

Vernon closed his eyes and willingly rubbed his cheek on the soft palm of his woman. His heartache gradually disappeared, leaving a trace of sweetness.

He lowered his defense as he thought he wouldn't be punished, and Chloe completely forgave him for his mistake, even though he still didn't know what he did wrong.

"Since you can walk...." Chloe's fingers traced back and gently fiddled with Vernon's ear.

Vernon felt a little ticklish when Chloe played with his earlobe, "Mhm, I... I can walk. But I need you to lead me, Chloe...."

"I will lead you back home, Vernon," Chloe said.

Vernon really thought that Chloe would kiss him here, he was eager for a kiss, but Vernon suddenly felt a quick but sharp pain on his earlobe when Chloe suddenly pinched and pulled his ear.

"Ah! Aw... aw... ouch! My ear!" Vernon's eyes were wide open due to the sudden pain.

Chloe pulled Vernon's ear and forced him to get up, "You made me worried sick! Vernon Phoenix Gray!"
