Chapter 85

"It's okay, Mackie. Don't ask something your Uncle like that. Mommy will bring it for you," Chloe said. She was about to walk to the fridge when Vernon suddenly got up and opened the fridge instead.

He gave Chloe a side glance, "What? Continue cooking."

"Ah— Y—Yes!" Chloe returned to her cooking activity. She thought that Vernon was still angry at her. That was why she tried not to push his button in any way possible.

But it seemed that he had returned to his cold, unfeeling attitude.

'What a weird guy….'

Vernon put two glasses of banana-apple smoothie on the table for himself and Mackie. 

"Uncle, you look so grumpy today," Mackie commented while sipping her smoothie.

"Hm…"

"Gee, Uncle should smile more! Mommy said that you look handsome when you're smiling!" 

"Mackie!" Chloe turned around instantly. She stared at her daughter, who was hogging Vernon's arm while he was unresponsive the whole time.
