276 Chapter 276

"Besides, if I want to learn how to be a good wolf, I can always ask Uncle Vernon! He is a big bad wolf!" Mackie stated, which prompted a visualization in Chloe's head.

She imagined Vernon teaching Mackie how to be a good wolf, with both of them wearing wolf costumes while howling, trying to outdo each other.

'Okay, that's funny, hihi!'

"Mommy— Mommy!"

"Ah— yes?"

"What are you thinking about, Mommy?" Mackie asked. "Why are you smiling?"

"It's nothing, dear," Chloe replied lightly. "You should ask your Uncle to teach you how to be a good wolf. Maybe he will teach you how to howl!"

"Really? I can do that?"

"Yes!" Chloe snickered. "But don't be mad if he can't do it. He is very busy, remember?"

"Un! I will ask Uncle when he is free!"

After Chloe and Mackie finished making the bed, Chloe grabbed Mackie's hand and said, "Let's go up. Uncle Vernon must've been waiting for us to have breakfast."

"Wait, we can eat with Uncle now?" Mackie asked excitedly. She was still in bitter rivalry with Uncle Vernon, especially after the pancake accident.

But eating with Uncle was a lot more fun than eating alone!

Chloe smiled, she thought Vernon must've been in a good mood after last night, so there was no harm in having breakfast together. Since he wouldn't explode and yell in front of Mackie.

Mackie and Chloe went up to the penthouse and saw Vernon sitting patiently at the dining table. He was wearing an oversized shirt and jogger pants.

"Whoa! Uncle!"

Mackie rushed towards his Uncle's side to hug him. Vernon was unresponsive, but he watched as Mackie walked to him, asking for a hug.

"Uncle, hug me!" Mackie requested.

"Why are you so sticky today? So suspicious," Vernon frowned. But he still picked Mackie up and hugged her for a second before sitting on the next seat.

Mackie was pissed because Uncle didn't seem so happy with their small reunion. She crossed her arms and snorted, "Hmph! Uncle is still the same big bad wolf! You're sweaty and stinky too!"

Chloe's body stiffened in an instant. She glanced at Vernon, who was also as awkward.

"T—That's because I just had an exercise! You see my biceps?" Vernon raised his arm and folded it to show his muscular biceps. "This is because I exercised everyday!"

"Hmph! That's because Uncle is being fed by Mommy's food! Mackie can do that too once I get older!" Mackie claimed, much to Vernon's annoyance.

Because he had to hit his private gym at least 4 times a week just to maintain his physique. After all, he was a big eater. If he didn't transfer the food into muscle, he would be fat in only a year.

"You need to work hard to have this bicep!" Vernon continued bickering, not wanting to lose against a seven-year-old girl.

"Then Mackie will work hard! I will be a big bad wolf like Uncle too! So I can protect Mommy before Uncle eats her!" Mackie claimed boldly.

"Okay, you two. Stop bickering and have your breakfast," Chloe finally broke off the argument because Vernon and Mackie had similar personalities. If no one separated them, they would continue to argue for a whole day.

Chloe put the banana-apple juice on the dining table, "Eat slowly, okay? We still have plenty of time."

Vernon and Mackie stared at the delicious pancake with cream in front of them, then looked at Chloe, stood a few inches away from the dining table and smiled at them.

Vernon and Mackie had the same thing in mind and spoke simultaneously, "Where is your breakfast?"

"Ah— I—I'm not hungry," Chloe replied. "You two should eat first. I'll clean the kitchen."

Chloe was about to turn around and leave, but Vernon grabbed her wrist before she could do that.

"Wha-!" Vernon yanked Chloe to his side and forced her to sit on his lap.

"V—Vernon—"

"You need to eat," Vernon said seriously. He knew that Chloe was suffering from bulimia. She was also alarmingly thin, much to his grievance.

Thus, he vowed to never let Chloe skip her food as long as Vernon was around.

"Mommy, you need to eat! You can have Mackie's food too!" Mackie said as she pushed her pancake towards her Mommy, who sat on Uncle Vernon's thigh.

Vernon glanced at Mackie and pushed the food back to the little girl, "Not you too. You need to eat. Don't you say that you want to be as strong as me? That means you need to eat a lot."

'.',

"But Mommy—"

"I will feed her with mine," Vernon said.

He wrapped his hand around Chloe's waist to make sure she didn't escape, used his free hand to start digging the pancake, and then offered it in front of Chloe's mouth, "Open up, Chloe. You need to eat."

'',

Chloe was embarrassed. This wasn't the first time Vernon forced her to eat.

He did it once in his office, shoving food into Chloe's mouth and forcing her to eat.

It was hard to swallow so much food, but surprisingly, she didn't feel the retch in her stomach. She kept eating repeatedly, and as long as she was spoon fed by Vernon, she would eat without a problem.

Which was strange for her.

"Come on, eat up," Vernon nudged Chloe's lips with the spoonful of pancake. His hawk-like eyes were staring at her deeply, but she sensed no hostility in him, and he didn't mean to intimidate.

After knowing the now-adult Vernon for a while, Chloe realized that Vernon's eyes were just intimidating for almost everyone, even if he didn't mean to.

Vernon patiently nudged Chloe's lips until she opened her mouth and ate the pancake. She munched slowly and glanced at Vernon, who was smiling at her.

"See? It's not that hard to eat," Vernon said. He continued scooping a big slice into the spoon and waited for Chloe to finish munching and swallowing the pancake. Then he nudged Chloe's lips with the spoonful of pancake again.

"I—I'm full…." Chloe replied weakly.

"No you're not," Vernon insisted. "You're going to eat or we're going to get stuck like this for a whole day."
