Vernon didn't answer Chloe's question when she asked what kind of thing Vernon wanted to confirm.

All he did was stare at her with his deep hot gaze. If Chloe was given the right to fantasize, she would fantasize that Vernon was deeply in love with her, thus why he kept staring at her with that longing gaze.

As if he only had Chloe in his eyes and heart for a long time.

Chloe bit her lower lip, she knew this feeling was wrong, and she should be happy that Vernon was finding love after he had his heart broken by this woman who kept haunting his dream.

'But I can't escape the feeling of wanting more,' Chloe said in her heart. 'I feel greedy, and wished that someone would see me with those eyes.'

Chloe was still trying to deny it, but deep down, she knew that she wanted VERNON to be the one looking at her with such love.

'Maybe because he is the only man other than Vincent I've ever grown close with? Or maybe because I just find him handsome?' Chloe asked herself. 'I don't really know. But what I know is this forbidden feeling needs to be exterminated. I should not have this feeling towards the boy I raised ten years ago.'

'I am just an old lady preying on young men, know your place, Chloe!'

Chloe scolded herself for feeling a certain way about Vernon. She kept reminding herself that she was just a stand-in for Vernon to relieve himself. Once he found the woman he wanted, Chloe would probably get kicked out of the apartment anyway.

They were in another long silence until Chloe couldn't handle it anymore and struggled to push herself away from Vernon's embrace.

Vernon was enjoying the moment right now. He didn't intend to do more than this because he knew that he would only hurt Chloe if he fucked her now.

So he was visibly annoyed when Chloe tried to separate herself.

"What's wrong?" he asked while tightening his arm around her waist.

"Um… we have been like this for um…." Chloe turned her head to the right to check on the clock. "Almost an hour. Let me go, Vernon. I need to make chicken noodle soup for you."

"I'm not hungry," Vernon replied.

He hadn't had dinner yet but was full because of that kiss.

? Though, he wouldn't mind going for a dessert… which was another kiss, 'On her tits, of course.'

Vernon wanted to say that, but he refrained because he didn't want to scare Chloe.

"Whether you're hungry or not, I still have to make you something to eat, so you can drink medicine after that and take a rest, okay?" Chloe said.

"It's just a simple fever. It'll go down tomorrow," Vernon said. Usually, he left something so mundane, like a small fever, by sleeping, and he would be healthy the next morning.

"No, you need to at least drink cold medicine, and also eat something to fill your stomach. Release me now, Vernon," Chloe changed her tone to be stricter, which reminded Vernon so much of Big sis Chloe trying to reprimand him for being stubborn.

The way she changed her tone made Vernon also respond by acting spoiled. He buried his face in Big sis Chloe's boobs again and replied, "Don't wanna!"

"Vernon—" Chloe sighed and patted his head. "Don't be stubborn, okay? You're a busy man, so you need to be healthy everyday!"

"Don't wanna! Let's stay like this for the whole night!" Vernon refused again.

"Hmm, then if you keep being stubborn, I won't cook you anything for breakfast tomorrow morning," Chloe said. Vernon lifted his head immediately, staring at his Big sis Chloe with a pout.

"That's not fair! I'll die hungry because of Big sis!"

Chloe giggled when she heard Vernon calling her Big sis again. Really reminded her of the good old days.

"Well, if you want your breakfast, that means you have to release me now."

Vernon was still reluctant but slowly loosened his embrace and allowed Chloe to get up from his lap. She took a few steps back and said, "Okay, you should change your suit while I'm making you a chicken noodle soup, okay?"

"Un…" Vernon hummed while his eyes followed Chloe's figure, who walked to the kitchen and started preparing food for him.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',

He had the urge to hug her from behind and simply fucked her on the kitchen counter like some kind of porn plot that he had fantasized about a lot.

But then shook his head, 'Okay, Vernon. I guess you could also take an ice cold bath right now.'

Vernon got up and went to his bedroom to take a cold bath. When he left the bedroom, only wearing his boxer, he saw Chloe already putting the chicken noodle soup on the table.

"Ah, Vernon, eat it while it's still warm, and this is the cold med and also paracetamol for the fever, don't forget to take a rest right after this, okay?" Chloe said as she put the meds with a glass of water on the dinner table.

"I will go downstair, good night—"

"Stay here, Big sis…." Vernon said like a spoiled boy.

"Eh? What for? Do you need something else?"

Vernon pouted again. If he had to be honest, he just wanted all the attention his Big sis Chloe gave him. It reminded him how much she cared for him when he was sick.

Chloe sighed, seeing that Vernon was in the mood to get spoiled. She heard that adult men were usually very sticky and spoiled when they were sick, so maybe it was just Vernon's way of showing that he wanted Chloe to accompany him for the rest of the night.

'But that's usually done by a wife— or at least a girlfriend, right? Why am I a stand in for literally everything?' Chloe sighed. But she gave in as she wanted Vernon to wake up fully recovered tomorrow morning.

"Okay, I'll accompany you. Go eat the soup."
