Chapter 171: Chapter 171

"Uncle, can you tell Daddy when will he bring Mommy and Mackie back to our old home? I miss him already," Mackie requested. 

…

"Did your Mommy tell you that?" Vernon asked. 

"Un, Mommy said that Daddy has a big problem at work, and he cannot bring us back home, that's why Mackie and Mommy live with you right now," Mackie said, trying to remember all the things that Mommy said to her about Daddy. 

…

"I'll tell him to work harder," Vernon replied ambiguously, but Mackie took it as a yes, so she nodded happily and hugged her Uncle's big arm.

"Thank you, Uncle!" 

"Hm."

Mackie resumed eating her breakfast, but Vernon only fiddled with his food. He was busy thinking about many things that he didn't know about his sister-in-law.

In his imagination, Chloe was living happily with Vincent after she ditched him. But now she left Vincent because he didn't give her enough money to satiate her greed for material things.
