Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



"Daddy, Mommy said you have a meeting in the morning. She will kill you if you don't get up now."

Vernon's eyes were wide open after hearing the threat. 

"Okay, okay, I will freshen up first," Vernon said. "Please tell her that I'll be ready soon. You know I can't see her cry."

"Got it, Daddy!"

Mackie understood her father's distress over her mother's scolding and lecture. Mackie was lectured by her mother a few times, and it never felt good.

Chloe wasn't the type who would scream at the top of her lungs or throw insults. 

She would genuinely scold Mackie for her mistake and then start discussing what they should do to fix the problem.

The distressing part was Chloe's expression. 

Chloe always wears her sweet smile every day. Returning to their home, greeted by Chloe's smile, was almost like a tradition in this family. Everyone saw Chloe as the heart of the family, so when she had to scold anyone who made a mistake, Chloe's smile would disappear, and she would sometimes look sad or even cry. 

Seeing her sweet mother crying made Mackie feel like she was the worst child in the world.

Her father, Vernon, was deeply in love with his wife. It was obvious from his gesture and how he looked at her. Mackie painted the ideal of love by observing her parents' daily interaction and how they made each other happy just by standing side by side. 

Mackie realized that her father was the one who showed so much remorse after having a little fight with his wife. Sometimes, Mackie caught her father sobbing after a little fight with her mother, so he tried his best not to upset her. 

'Hmm, it's so weird to see…' Mackie thought. 'Daddy is so scary in the office. I've seen him working many times, yet he looks so hopelessly vulnerable in front of Mommy. Is this what they call true love?'

Mackie returned to the dining table. She saw that the boys had finished their breakfast and went out first with Dorothea to school, leaving Mackie with her mother and siblings. 

"Did you wake your dad up?" Chloe asked.

"I did. He said he is getting ready," Mackie reported. She sat on the chair and started eating her breakfast again. 

Vernon went down about ten minutes later. He was only wearing a black tee and boxers. 

His eyes brightened as he saw his family gathering for breakfast, "Good morning, my princesses," Vernon said as he kissed Mackie and Valerie on the head. 

"Morning, Daddy!" Val and Mackie said at the same time. 

"Morning, champ," he said while kissing baby Cedric.

Lastly, he stared at his wife, who was busy feeding the baby with so much love and tenderness. He kissed her cheek and whispered, "Good morning, honey. You look beautiful today."

Chloe's cheeks reddened, but she tried to ignore it, "Your breakfast is next to Mackie. I'll bring you the suit after I'm done feeding Cedric."

"Thank you, Love."

Vernon sat next to Mackie and looked around, "Where are Dorothea and the boys?" 

"They're leaving earlier. I got a report from the primary school principal that the boys were late for about thirty minutes last Thursday. So I make sure they leave earlier."

"Alright then," Vernon nodded, and he ate his two portions of breakfast as usual.

Vernon was still the same big eater. Even after he fathered two more children with Chloe, he was still in great shape because of daily exercise. 

After all, he didn't want his forever-beautiful wife to look at another man after Vernon got out of shape. He wanted to be the best version of himself and always look handsome in front of his wife so Chloe would always have her eyes on him. 

Meanwhile, Chloe had always been the same. 

She was still gorgeous, even after giving birth to two more children. She was in her early forties but didn't show much sign of aging. 

In fact, she had gotten even more beautiful and bright that Vernon started to worry if she might be looking at another man while he was away. 

Vernon eventually understood some of Vincent's fear over Chloe's beauty, but he wasn't crazy. He knew that hurting Chloe would bring nothing but pain and suffering to his beloved wife.

So all he did was shower her with gifts, have a private date or family trip on the weekend, and take care of the kids when he was not working to show that he was a good father. 

All to make sure that Chloe would always be by his side. 

So far, it has been working really well. 

Chloe was busy taking care of the family and seemed to enjoy it very much. She spent most of her time making sure each of her family members was cared for, and she tried her best to be fair to all her children. 

Chloe and Vernon have had a good life and counting for the past six years. They had a few small fights, just like every other married couple in history, but their fight didn't last long.

On top of that, they had a healthy sex life. They had sex about three times a week. 

Vernon wanted to have more since he had so much energy, but he understood that his wife was tired of housework. Even with maids around, Chloe was still a perfectionist at heart.

She ensured the mansion always had a warm, fuzzy feeling that made everyone comfortable after a long day outside.

She also liked to spend so much time gardening with Valerie and baby Cedric. 

Vernon felt that everything was perfect. However, he wished that Chloe would relax a bit more. She always looked busy in the morning, preparing for everything.

Vernon had told Chloe to just let the maids cook for everything, but she refused. 

She simply said;

'This is my family. I have the responsibility. Besides, I like doing this. I like having a big family.'
