"Whatever, I'll leave now," Vernon wore his loafers and went to the front door.

"Um… be careful on your way. I'll be waiting for you at home," Chloe said meekly, which made Vernon stop right before he opened the front door.

He felt a strange tingling sensation around his body when Chloe said that she'd wait for him, like a housewif—

Vernon took a deep breath and dispelled that idea again, he wanted to ignore his sister-in-law, but his mouth just opened before he could think;

"Go to bed first. You'll catch a cold waiting for me."

"Ah— Vernon—" Chloe was stunned by Vernon's reply because that sounded so strangely intimate coming from Vernon. But before she could ask him about it, Vernon suddenly opened the door and left before slamming it shut.

Chloe paused for a good while, then murmured, "That sounds so… warm, coming from him."

Chloe leaned on the bedroom door behind her and put her palm on her chest. She felt warm around her chest because she got the illusion that Vernon was like a husband, not wanting his wife to get sick for sleeping too late, so he told her not to wait for him.

'Ah, Chloe, don't fantasize about this. It's not good because it will never happen,' Chloe tried to pull herself back to reality. She had always wanted to have that kind of interaction with Vincent, like a regular married couple. But Vincent always ridiculed her for being pretentious and only showed disdain when she tried to show her care as a wife.

So when Vernon showed a glimpse of a life she always wanted, Chloe's heart was visibly shaken.

'It must've been because of what happened last night. I can't control my heart in front of him,' Chloe thought. She lightly slapped her cheeks to wake herself from a dreamland. "Wake up, Chloe. Last night was just a beautiful mistake. It won't happen twice."

After she calmed her heart, Chloe turned around and grabbed the door knob. She twisted the door knob and entered Vernon's bedroom.

"Okay, time to find my lingerie before Vernon found it first," Chloe murmured. She turned on the light switch to get a clear view of the bedroom.

Chloe looked around the messy bedroom, and the first thing she noticed was the strong scent of musk, Vernon's natural odor, which reminded her of what happened last night.

In fact, when I checked the bed, there were many wet spots scattered on the bedsheet, either because of Vernon's cum or her pussy juice last night.

Chloe was embarrassed, but it had already happened, so there was no use in regretting it, "I'll have to change the bedsheet and spray a bottle of air freshener. The smell of wild sex last night is so strong here…."

"But for now, I have to find that damn lingerie!" Chloe started looking around Vernon's room. Since she was the one who cleaned his bedroom, she already knew every nook and cranny of this room, so she left no stone unturned while searching for that lingerie.

However, no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find the goddamn lingerie!

"Where is it? How can it disappear out of nowhere?!" Chloe yelled out of frustration and panic. She was worried that Vernon might find it first because it was too embarrassing and also disgusting.

But she couldn't find it literally anywhere. She even searched under the bed to no avail.

Amidst her panic, she started having the wildest idea ever, "No, don't tell me that… Vernon found it first…."

"But if he found it first, why didn't he yell at me? There's no way that he touched my lingerie, right? Who'd want something I wore anyway?"

"Maybe he… he hides it?" Chloe theorized and soon realized that was absolutely impossible to happen. Because it was outrageous to think that Vernon would touch her lingerie, let alone hide it like a treasure.

"He might be immature at times. But hiding my lingerie, isn't that a little… too perverted and childish?" Chloe wondered. "But where is it then? Where is that goddamn thing!?"

Thus, Chloe continued her search endlessly. She didn't want to give up even if she had to search for hours!

Vernon entered his car and started the engine. He sat inside the car and stared emptily at the parking lot in front of him. He was still reflecting on two things he did just now in the house.

First, he accidentally blurted out a sentence that made him sound like an idiot.

"Why would I say that she shouldn't sleep too late? It's not my fault if she waits for me until late at night like an idiot!" Vernon yelled. But he secretly enjoyed the care and attention that Chloe gave to him. It made him feel so loved.

But that wasn't the only stupid thing he did today. There was one action that was even worse.

p Vernon sighed deeply, and his hand reached inside his suit pocket. He fished out the thing he had picked up from his bedroom floor and hid it inside his suit pocket;

Crumpled black lingerie of his sister-in-law, something she dropped after what happened last night.

Vernon stared at the lingerie in his hand and clenched it. He was still trying to make sense of what he had done just now.

"Why the fuck your sister-in-law's black lingerie is inside your suit pocket, Vernon?" Vernon asked himself because he couldn't even find the logic behind his action. "Do you think this black lingerie is some kind of souvenir? Fucking idiot!"

Vernon noticed this black lingerie when he was fixing his cuff. He completely forgot about it after he took a cold bath, but when he noticed the black lingerie again, there was an intrusive thought in his head;

'Pick that lingerie and hide it, or your sister-in-law will take it away right after you left. How else would you ask her to give it to you without sounding like a creepy, cheap pervert?'

Thus, Vernon followed his intrusive thought. He picked it up and stuffed it inside his pocket.

Vernon continued staring at the lingerie and knocked his forehead to the steering wheel a few times, "Vernon Phoenix Gray, you're a fucking disgrace to your family."
