Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



Vernon returned to the car. He knocked on the window, and Mackie opened it from the inside.

Vernon said nothing but sat in the driver's seat and drove away as soon as possible. He didn't want Mackie to see her scum biological father for too long.

Mackie was HIS daughter, just like Valerie and Cedric were his children. There was no difference in any of them. 

They were silent until Vernon opened the conversation, "Mommy is waiting for us at home. She is worried about you."

"Mhm, thanks, Daddy," Mackie murmured. She fiddled with her fingers while trying to form a question about her biological Dad. "Daddy, about him…"

"He won't be able to hurt you anymore," Vernon replied. He clenched the steering wheel, wondering if he should tell the truth. "He will be under confinement for the rest of his life."

Mackie sighed in relief.

She really thought that her Daddy would kill her biological father. She wouldn't be able to see Daddy as a good person if he did that.

"Do you think I will kill him?"

"I'm afraid that you will…"

Vernon scoffed, "I want to, but your mother is an angel. She doesn't want me to hurt anyone. So I can only lock him forever."

Vernon glanced at his Little Wolf, who sat next to him. She was a teenager now, fourteen years old. But in Vernon's eyes, she was still the same cute little girl who would latch on his thigh like a Koala.

Maybe it was the effect of raising her for six years, but Vernon accepted he wouldn't be able to see Mackie as an adult. 

Vernon patted Mackie's head and assured her, "Don't worry, you will be safe now."

Mackie nodded.

"Daddy, back then, I thought what he did to my Mommy was normal," Mackie said. "Beating, insulting, yelling…"

"Mommy also said it was normal. I don't understand why she didn't tell me it was wrong," Mackie wondered. "I found out about a real family once we lived with you, Daddy."

"I saw Mommy become the beautiful woman she once was. She smiled a lot and ate healthy food again."

"But yet, she still hasn't told me that my biological father is a scum…" Mackie lowered her voice, feeling guilty for calling Vincent a scum. "I learned everything myself…"

Vernon glanced at his daughter and replied, "It's because of the circumstances around her."

"Circumstances?"

"Yes, your mother was trapped in an abusive marriage with Vincent. She can't escape, and she tried to make the best out of the suffering for you," Vernon said. "She didn't want you to see what kind of monster Vincent truly is because you were still too young to understand."

"But I want to help her too…"

"It's a mother's instinct to protect her child's innocence, Little Wolf," Vernon said. "Your mother is still a human. She made mistakes in life, and she thought keeping your innocence at the cost of her sanity was the right thing to do."

"Your existence is enough help for her. You are her hope, Mackie," Vernon said. "Without you, she might not survive the suffering inflicted by Vincent for ten years straight."

Mackie still felt that she should've done more for her mother.

Her mother protected her from her monstrous biological father and tried her best to keep Mackie happy despite the circumstances. 

Vernon glanced at his daughter and said, "If you want to repay your mother, then you should study hard and become a good person in life. So your mother will see that her ten-year endeavor is not in vain."

"But for now, why don't you hug her when we return home? Your Mommy is worried sick about you."

"Um! Let's do that for now!" Mackie finally cheered up.

Chloe stood at the main door, anxiously staring at the main gate, carrying Cedric in her left hand and Valerie standing on her right side. She was waiting for her husband and daughter to come home.

She bit her lower lip and muttered, "Did something happen on their way home? Should I call him again?"

Valerie looked at her mother and asked, "Mommy, are you okay?"

Chloe smiled at her second daughter and patted her head, "Mommy is alright. I'm just waiting for your sister and father."

Not long after that, a car pulled into the mansion's driveway and parked right in front of the main door.

Mackie and Vernon exited the car, and Chloe rushed to them, "Mackie! Husband!" 

Mackie rushed fast towards her mother and hugged her tight, "Mommy!"

"Oh, Mackie!" Chloe hugged her back and then checked on her body. "Did he do something to you? Are you hurt?"

Mackie shook her head, "He tried to bring me to that old mansion, but Daddy saved me."

"Oh dear, I'm sorry that I can't be there to protect you…"

Mackie shook her head, "It's okay, Mommy. I'm okay," she said. Mackie buried her face on her mother's chest and added, "I'm so glad you're still alive, Mommy. I love you so much."

"Huh? Why did you say that?" Chloe asked as she was startled. 

Vernon joined and said, "Well, everyone is safe now. Why don't we go inside and have dinner first? I get hungry after punching someone."

"Oh! Dinner! I'm so hungry!" Valerie finally responded.

"Uhh! Aaa!" Cedric was infected by his big sister's energy as well. 

Chloe giggled, "Alright, let's have dinner. I've cooked a feast for us tonight."

Mackie walked into the house with Valerie while Cedric still rested on his Mommy's arm. 

Chloe and Vernon stared at Mackie and Valerie's back, and she muttered, "Husband, thank you for everything. You bring me happiness I never expected."

"That should be my line," Vernon chuckled. He wrapped his arm around Chloe's shoulder and kissed her. "You have brought me so much joy since I was a child and will continue to do so until we grow old together."

"Chloe Phoenix Gray, you are my only one."
