Chapter 548: Chapter 548

"Um, why should I tell Uncle if I got bullied? Will Uncle do something about it?"

"Obviously," Vernon replied. He also got a little confused with her question just now. "What's with your question? Of course it's natural that I will do something if someone dares to bully you. I will… punish them."

There was a slight pause because Vernon was about to say that he would make sure those bullies would drop out of the school. But that might be too scary for Mackie.

He just wanted Mackie to know that she was well protected. 

"Uwaaah!" Mackie's eyes were sparkling with awe. She grabbed her Uncle's other hand and wrapped it with her two small hands. "Uncle, will you defend Mackie too? Will you stop those mean boys and girls who are going to bully me?"

"Of course!" Vernon got even more confused, but he gave a default answer.

Of course, he would protect her. He already took her as his daughter! Of course, all fathers would protect their children, right?
