"Mhm, kind of. He has always been a picky eater, so he would throw a huge tantrum every day if he didn't find any food that he likes," Chloe added.

"Like salmon or any fishes?"

"Hmmm… honestly, nobody really knows his palate. His tastes always change every single day, it seems. The number of head chefs resigning from the Gray mansion just because of the stress of coping with the little prince's demanding tongue palate was too much for them."

"Wow, imagine resigning from a high-paying job just because of a little devil called Vernon," Diamond commented.

"Haha! Well, he is still the devil, even now, right?"

"Yep," Diamond agreed without hesitation. Vernon was an unreasonable devil most of the time, even as an adult.

Now imagine the little version with little to no reason in his head, creating tantrums everywhere every day…

Diamond shook her head. It wasn't good for her sanity.

"I don't know how could you cope with him when he was a child," Diamond said. "Did you not get the stress as well?"

"Well, most of the time, Vernon can be absolute hell for everyone. But most of the time, he is very obedient towards me and my ex-husband, his big brother."

"He was obedient to you before?"

"Oh yes! He is like a cute little angel in front of me, but I think most of it comes because he is often left alone with me to take care of him, haha!" Chloe replied.

"Like a babysitter?"

"Yeah, because nobody— I mean, literally nobody can manage to control him. No nanny— no matter how experienced they were could handle him. He is only obedient to his big brother and me. So I took care of him often."

"Also, I never have any problem cooking for him. He always eats a lot whenever I'm the one who cooks. Maybe that's why he hired me to be his maid, hahaha…."

'I don't think that's the only reason, though…' Diamond said in her heart, but it wasn't her right to voice her opinion. Definitely not when it involved Vernon and all the risk ready to gut her.

'Besides, you're literally looking at small Vernon in your rose-tinted glasses. He is obviously a hell of a kid to take care of. He deserved a special episode in Super Nanny.'

The CEO's office's door was opened again, and Vernon yelled, "I know you two are talking about me! Sister-in-law, what took you so long?!"

"Ah, I'm sorry! I'll come in!" Chloe said.

"Hmph!"

SLAM!

Chloe and Diamond stared at the office door. They shrugged, "Well, I don't think there's any change in him."

"He did retain a bit of his childlike personality, I guess…." Chloe added. 'I mean, he is still an absolute manchild.'

"I'll meet him. Maybe he wants to scold me again today," Chloe said.

Diamond rubbed Chloe's hand, "Stay strong, sister."

Chloe smiled and bravely walked to the CEO's office, facing the devil.

Diamond couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "She's so brave despite her situation….'

Chloe closed the door and walked toward Vernon, reading a document on the long sofa. He fixed his glasses and lifted his head, "Have you taken a bath today?"

"Eh?" Chloe thought that was a weird question. But she had a habit of taking a bath twice daily, every morning and evening, so she nodded. "I took a bath before cooking breakfast today."

"Hm… good," Vernon observed Chloe's body from head to toe. He had to admit that his sister-in-law had a seductive body. Even though she always covered herself pretty modestly. But when Vernon started imagining her figure, her lovely perky boobs and plump ass like peaches, he got hard easily.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelB(i)n. ᴄᴏᴍ',

Chloe also had that hourglass figure he likes, though it seemed that she had gotten thinner than before when Vernon was only fifteen years old.

'Hmm… I should force her to eat more. I don't know why she is doing a weird diet. It's not good if she got too thin,' Vernon thought.

Chloe stepped back when she noticed the lecherous leer from Vernon's hawk-like eyes.

"W—What?"

The edge of his lips perked up as he saw the nervous expression from his sister-in-law, "Why are you nervous? We did it already, right? Well, I'm still kind enough not to put it inside, but you should've expected it at this point."

Chloe instinctively closed the gap between her thighs, "I—I'm not ready for that one since yours is…."

However, Vernon already knew that would be the answer from Chloe. So he signaled with his head, pointing at the wooden door with delicate carving, "Come to the Velvet room. I will play with you today. I'm in the mood."

Chloe glanced at the door, and she gulped. She did it with Vernon once. Even though he didn't stick it inside, she had to admit that making out with Vernon was different than with Vincent.

Fucking with Vincent was like a chore that she had to do, and there was no passion in it.

But with Vernon… everything stemmed from passion, and it was so hot that it might burn their bodies together.

However, Chloe's mood was a little complicated. Because she witnessed Vernon's mood changes, angry, sad, cold, and horny on the same day. How was she supposed to adapt to his crazy mood swings and still have the urge for sex!?

"I—I don't think this is a good time, Vernon. Aren't you… angry with me?"

Vernon clicked his tongue, "And what's that to do with your job? This is your job, remember?"

"Y—Yeah, but…"

"Or you're not willing because you don't like doing it with me? The last time isn't as good as you expected?"

"T—That—"

Chloe bit her lower lip. Should she admit she liked it because it was her first time ever having a wild make-out session? But a modest woman like her— saying stuff like that was way out of her dictionary!

"You're a demanding woman, sister-in-law," Vernon commented. He got up and walked toward Chloe. "Fine, I'll make sure you'll experience something even better today."
