Ch. 446..450: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 446-450

Chapter 446

Vernon led her to go up to his penthouse.

Chloe walked past the kitchen, and her eyes darted to the minibar at the corner of the foyer.

She saw an opened bottle and a half-filled glass of wine, "You're drinking tonight?" she asked curiously. It had been a while since Vernon drank alcohol.

She still remembered how much of a drunkard Vernon when she first came to live in this apartment. She often picked up empty bottles of wine, beer, bourbon, gin, and even vodka scattered around Vernon's bedroom every morning. So she knew that Vernon was a raging alcoholic.

If she had to be honest, she didn't really like that lifestyle because Vincent often blamed alcohol for some of his beatings back when he started physically abusing Chloe, saying that he didn't mean it and it was because he got intoxicated.

But as she continued tolerating and enduring, Vincent didn't need to find alcohol as a reason to beat. If he was in the mood to hit Chloe, then he'd do it without hesitation.

Despite her disapproval, she couldn't openly voice her protest because alcohol might be the way for Vernon to de-stress after a long day at work.

"Just a little," Vernon admitted. "I'm just feeling stressed today."

Vernon felt guilty when he got caught drinking. He had been sober for a while because he drank to numb his pain.

Now that he had Chloe by his side, he didn't feel like he needed to drink excessively— well, maybe one bottle every two or three days in case he felt like he needed one, but no more than that.

Today was indeed a special occasion. Naturally, Vernon wouldn't drink when he wanted to touch Chloe. Who the hell would get drunk when you have the most beautiful woman naked on your bed? Oh, Vernon would stay 101% sober every night for that!

But today was special… because he had to brace himself. He'd tell Chloe about his worries and ask her opinion about his problem. It might not be much for many, but for a man like Vernon, opening up to his woman was a huge step he needed to take.

Meanwhile, Chloe worried with Vernon, "If you have to drink to de-stress, that means something difficult is going on. You should tell me!"

"Haha, it's nothing much," Vernon said as he tried to downplay the problem. He sat Chloe on the sofa and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water to mask the smell of alcohol in his mouth.

Chloe's head followed Vernon's movement and replied, "I know it must be difficult, Vernon. You often drink when you're too stressed!" Chloe bit her lower lip, trying to curb her worry a little. But she had grown attached to Vernon and always wanted the best for him, "Please tell me what's wrong, maybe you can feel at ease after talking with me."

…

Vernon walked back to the living room but stopped before reaching the sofa where Chloe was sitting.

He leaned on the wall about five feet away from her.

Vernon stared back at Chloe, who was staring at him intensely, demanding him to tell his worries.

He sighed as he tried to curb his eagerness to tell his worry to Chloe. If he could, he'd love to throw himself at his woman and bury his face in Chloe's boobs or lap, then tell her all his worries.

She didn't even need to do anything. Just caressing his hair while gently whispering that everything would be alright was enough to satisfy him.

But he was feeling some sort of crisis right now. This feeling of vulnerability was something too foreign for a man like him. He preferred if Chloe would just see him as a tough man that feared and worried about nothing.

'Haha, that's kinda funny. I want her to see me as a man who feared or worried about nothing. But she could easily tell when I'm stressed…' Vernon had a thin smile as he nodded, "Well, couldn't be helped, I guess."

Vernon walked towards Chloe and stood in front of her.

He dropped on his knees before resting his head on Chloe's lap. He wrapped his hands around Chloe's waist and waited for Chloe to put her hand on top of his head before he could say a thing.

Chloe paused for a while, trying to process what was happening right now, "Vernon?" she called.

Vernon looked up at Chloe and stared for a while with puppy eyes, waiting eagerly to be petted.

Chloe frowned for a moment until she understood what he wanted.

Thus, Chloe slowly patted and caressed Vernon's hair with her fingers before asking, "You can tell me if something is burdening you. I may not be able to help much, but you'll usually feel better after letting it out, right?"

Vernon nodded. He returned to bury his head on Chloe's lap before muttering, "It's about Vincent."

Chloe's whole body jolted for a split second before she tried to calm down. She knew Vernon's big problems must've revolved around Vincent and his antiques.

"Y—You can tell me," Chloe said despite her nervousness. "You can tell me everything, Vernon. I'm not scared of him."

'Lie,' Vernon said in his heart. 'Obviously you're scared of him. Your fingers caressed me no more when I mentioned his name, and your soft thighs twitched and tensed right after.'

'But you still try to act calm just to make sure that I didn't panic, so I have to appreciate your effort and I will do the same, Chloe,' Vernon added.

"You know— he invited me to his office today, and he mentioned about my activities that have been crossing his territory in business," Vernon said. "I thought he'll try to repress me, since I know that he's an egomaniac bastard."

"But that's not the case. Instead of repressing me, he told me to make an ad for his new cosmetic line-up, and offered to give me 35% shares for that new cosmetic company," Vernon lifted his head and looked up at Chloe again. There was a trace of vulnerability in his eyes, like a confused boy trying to find an answer, "It's a tempting offer that will speed up the process, but I feel like Vincent is using this as a trap, and I don't know what kind of trap he set. He's unpredictable."

"Chloe, I don't know if I should accept his offer or not. What should I do?"

Chapter 447

"Chloe, what should I do?" Vernon asked. His voice was soft, like a kid wanting guidance from his mother, he looked so vulnerable right now, and Chloe knew it was difficult for a man like him to open up.

She saw how some men from the Gray family were raised; all of them were basically traditional men with traditional values. Something like showing vulnerability to a woman was not appropriate and should be shamed.

'Yet, he opens up to me, relies on me and my answer, so… instead of being weak and timid, I have to be a dependable person for him. I need to give him strength just how he gives me one when I feel like I have no place on earth...' Chloe thought.

Honestly, she wished Vincent could open up to her more when they were still together.

Vincent would always say nothing was wrong whenever he was stressed out. When he started cheating and beating, he'd say that Chloe was just a woman who knew nothing about his struggle as a man and never cared for him.

Chloe took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, I'm not the best at businesses and stuff, but I know Vincent far more than other people in this world. I've experienced everything with Vincent, from his love, short-term devotion, mania, mood swing, and adultery…."

Chloe sighed as she continued caressing Vernon's hair, "He is a terrible man, Vernon. A man who is craving for ultimate dominance. He hates when I fight back, or even when Mackie tries to ask him too many questions that he couldn't answer."

"Naturally, I should tell you not to take the offer because it might be a trap. But his treatment of you is different, Vernon…."

"Different?"

"Mhm, he may see us— his own family and even his mother as a bug that he can squish anytime he wants. But he truly sees you as his Little brother," Chloe said. "Just… in a twisted way."

…

Vernon said nothing. He waited for Chloe to continue, though he already knew where this conversation would go.

"You see, he sees you as his Little brother in an inferior way. I still remember how he'd say that you must've cheated on your test whenever you get a high score," Chloe tried to recall her conversation with Little Vernon. "You also told me once that you don't want to get a high score because you're afraid your Big bro will get angry."

"Didn't expect you to remember that," Vernon admitted.

"Hihi, of course, I remember. I remember everything about you growing up," Chloe said with eyes full of warmth. "Well, I believe Vincent genuinely sees you as his Little brother that is lesser than him. He's probably giving you a genuine offer for this. But I'm not sure about the 35% share…."

"But it's good if I take it, right? It'll help me quickly gain many connections around him, snatching his people left and right as he grows unstable."

"Yeah, that's right, but you should be careful," Chloe warned. "Vincent must've noticed your growth as a businessman, and feel threatened that you'll try to challenge his absolute dominance in many markets. I think this 35% share will backfire at you in some way. He's trying to use this as a way to control you."

"My advice is… take the offer from him. I'm sure he'll not hurt you for that. He'll only hurt you once he starts noticing how you keep outperforming him in business," Chloe suggested. "About the 35% share, I think it's better if you take it, but with your own precaution. Maybe see if it'll put you in a disadvantage."

"One thing for sure, Vernon Phoenix Gray. Do not look ambitious in front of him. He hates when someone beneath him is trying to achieve greatness. He will try his best to repress them and put them in place— which is under his feet."

Vernon stayed silent as he listened to Chloe telling him all the things he needed, "I see…" he muttered while staring at Chloe.

…

Chloe looked serious with her words for a moment before her cheeks reddened, and she avoided Vernon's gaze, "W—Well, that's just my take. I—I am just a housewife, I don't have any competence in business, so I might be wrong."

"No, you're not wrong at all," Vernon encouraged. "I got the best insight from you, Chloe."

"R—Really?"

"Mm," Vernon nodded. "I'm glad that Diamond suggested that I talk to you. She said you know the best about him."

"Haha, that's because I experienced living with Vincent for ten years, so I know many things about him," Chloe said.

"I will not let you experience that anymore. Ten years is enough— it's too much actually…." Vernon said. He smiled and lifted his shoulder. He gave a light kiss on Chloe's lips before adding, "Thank you for helping me, Chloe, my woman. I promise I will beat him."

Chloe almost exploded out of joy right now. She had never been claimed by a man before, which was a new feeling of being wanted that she liked so much.

"W—Well, I'm glad to be helping," Chloe muttered bashfully. She never expected herself to be helpful. She thought taking care of Vernon's health and the house was all she could do to support him. "Um… do tell me whenever you have any problem that stresses you out. Just like I said, I might not be able to help you, but listening and giving advice is what I can do. If you want to listen to my advice, of course…."

'I wonder if I should be proud by giving him advice like this. I feel like I'm doing a bare minimum while he's doing all he can do to free me from Vincent…' Chloe wondered.

She was still doubtful that she was actually helping right now. She felt Vernon didn't need her help since he was a competent man of his own accord.

But it'd be nice if she could do more to help him in his struggle to fight Vincent.

Chapter 448

"If… if you're willing to listen to some of my work rants, then I'll be happy to tell you, Chloe," Vernon said. He had a bit of doubt in his heart, though, and he wanted to ask that right now. "But I wonder, is it okay for me to open up to you? Will you… change your opinion on me?"

"Why would I change my opinion on you?"

"I don't know… maybe you'll see me as a weak man," Vernon admitted. "Tell me, Chloe, if looking at my vulnerability will only make you feel weak, then I'd rather never show my weakness no more. I don't want to make you feel like I'm not the right man to lean on."

Vernon felt that he had stripped himself of his man pride. He was a simple man who was weak in front of his beloved woman. This was the true self that he always tried to hide behind his imposing figure and intimidating presence.

"Do you think it's a turn-off if you see my weak side?" Vernon asked. Though he already expected that Chloe would lie and say that it was okay for a man to show weakness, even though deep down, she would judge him for being weak.

But getting a white lie from Chloe didn't sound too bad for Vernon.

Chloe went silent for a moment. She took the question seriously because Vernon must've expected a serious answer.

"Well, honestly, I do want a strong man I can lean on…." Chloe muttered with the truth.

Vernon's heart dropped. He knew it was a mistake to open up. He'd rather bottle it inside his heart for the rest of his life if this damaged his relationship with Chloe.

Thus, Vernon took swift action to end the conversation, "Alright then, sorry for asking you about that stuff before. Worry not, Chloe. I have my decision ready, I was just having a moment of weakness," Vernon said. He got up and was about to turn around when Chloe tried her best to hold Vernon's hand with her weak grip.

"I—I'm not done talking…." Chloe said.

Vernon paused for a moment and looked down at Chloe. He had his usual seriousness alongside his intimidating gaze that would make people tremble in fear.

But Chloe wasn't scared at all. She had known that Vernon was just trying to put on a facade to make him look bigger and stronger.

"Sit down, Vernon, I'm not done talking."

…

Rather than returning to kneel in front of Chloe, Vernon decided to just sit on the sofa right next to her.

His expression was sour, and he couldn't hide it. He was pissed that Chloe didn't even bother to lie just to make him happy.

Instead, she slapped him with the cold truth. Making him feel embarrassed for showing his vulnerability to the woman he loved.

Now he regretted everything, hoping he'd just turn back time about an hour ago and just have sex with her to fill their 'love' and help him de-stress in the most primal way possible.

Chloe sighed as she saw Vernon in a bad mood. Obviously, he was angry at her for not faking her answer, but she wanted to be truthful because she thought it was what Vernon needed.

The true version of her, the version that she wanted him to know.

"Vernon, I… I can't lie that I want a strong man to lean on. I have nothing but myself to rely on since I was young, and Vincent has been a huge disappointment, so I just can't help it…." Chloe said. "But, opening up about your worry doesn't make you weak. It's normal for a human to be anxious about something, you know…."

Vernon's expression softened, but he still said nothing and decided to ignore Chloe altogether.

Chloe smiled thinly and gently lowered her head until she rested on Vernon's chest.

She could smell his manly scent, which intoxicated her a little, "Actually, I'm delighted that you're willing to open up about your problem to me rather than trying to bottle it up."

"Vernon, I've seen your effort. How you tried your best to fight Vincent, and I know you're doing it for me and my daughter's sake," Chloe said. "I know it must've been stressful, and I thought I've been really useless because I can't do much to help you."

"That's why I'm happy you're showing your vulnerable side. That means I know that you're still a human, and you trust me enough…."

"You're not useless," Vernon finally couldn't help but speak up. "Your presence is enough to make me happy. You're already helping by being near me."

"Well, I can say the same to you, Mr. Phoenix Gray," Chloe's eyes went down to check on her white cast doodled by Mackie before. "Your presence fills me with courage. That's why I fought back against him. So we are even."

"I want to be a tough woman for myself, Mackie, and for you too. I may be weak, but that doesn't mean I will stay weak forever," Chloe slowly slipped her hand around his neck and hooked Vernon's neck with her arm. She forced him to lower his shoulder until their faces were so close to one another.

Vernon was startled but did nothing as he was afraid any physical reaction from him might accidentally hurt Chloe's recovering wound.

They could feel each other's breaths. Chloe smiled and gave Vernon a light peck at the tip of his nose, "You've been a strong man for me. It's time for you to rest a bit and let me be the strong woman that you can rely on. It's supposed to be a two way road, Vernon. We're supposed to give and take. I'm not going to be the only one who takes everything from you."

…

Chloe finished her sentence with another light kiss, but she pecked the edge of his lips this time, "It's fine to be vulnerable in front of me. You're still the big boy, the tough man, the impenetrable fortress. Nothing will change that."

 

Chapter 449

[Explicit.]

Vernon kept staring at Chloe. His heart was already softened into a puddle of mush. He knew he couldn't be mad at Chloe for long, but he didn't expect himself to melt in less than five minutes.

Seeing his lips twitching as he tried to hold his smile, Chloe giggled lightly, "Hihi, it's fine if you want to smile or laugh, Vernon. Do you want me to encourage you to do that as well?"

"You— seriously..." Vernon sighed helplessly and went to give her a light kiss.

It was a peck at first, but Vernon wasn't satisfied. So he went for the second and third peck until he wrapped his hand around Chloe's back and went for a deep kiss.

"Mmh…" Chloe's muffled moan filled their ears as both closed their eyes, enjoying the taste of each other's lips until Chloe started to get out of breath.

"Vernon— mmh… t—too much… mmfh!" Chloe struggled a little to show that she needed to take a breath. Vernon stopped kissing and separated their lips. He watched how Chloe's plump tits rose up and down as she tried to catch a breath.

He chuckled while licking his lips and gently pushed Chloe to lie on the sofa to rest her back on the small cushion at the end of the long sofa.

He went down to kiss her neck and cleavage instead. Chloe bit her lower lip as she tried to muffle her moan even more, especially when Vernon's left hand slipped inside her pants, rubbing around her waist and thighs while his right hand was busy unbuttoning her pajama.

Vernon finished unbuttoning and separated her pajamas. He clicked his tongue as he admired the beautiful view of the pair of plump pillows, "What a view."

Under the dim light, Vernon could clearly trace Chloe's body. He put his hands around her waist and traced his hands around to feel her, making Chloe's body tremble out of excitement— and mostly because it was ticklish.

"You've put on some weight too," he commented, admiring his beloved woman's beauty and her body that started to put on weight nicely.

"S—Sorry…" Chloe muttered. She still felt fearful whenever she was putting on some weight because she was afraid that Vernon might ridicule her, calling her a fat bitch or whale until she cried out of shame.

"Why apologize?" Vernon asked. He lowered his head and whispered near her ear, "I like it when you're plump and healthy, makes me want to eat you more."

Vernon's words vibrated across her body, making her tremble out of anticipation. She almost moaned because of that, which she tried to muffle as she felt it was embarrassing to moan simply because Vernon whispered in her ear.

Vernon put Chloe's hands up and left them dangling at the end of the sofa so he didn't need to worry about accidentally hurting her. He dipped his head into Chloe's fat tits and buried his face in between.

He took a deep sniff while his hands were pressing Chloe's boobs together to squish his head between the soft pillows.

"V—Vernon, what are you doing?" Chloe asked as she was confused by Vernon's activity. It didn't hurt her. It was ticklish, actually, since he kept kissing her cleavage while his breath ran alongside the ridge of her meaty mountain.

Vernon ignored her for a moment and made another squish before he stopped and lifted his head. He grinned devilishly at Chloe, "I don't know. I just like burying my face between your boobs—" Vernon's hand went down and started caressing Chloe's inner thigh, which made her moan out of reflex. "—Just like how I love to bury my face between your thighs, eating your pussy."

"H—How could you say that so lightly?" Chloe's face was so red out of shame. She clamped her thighs tighter, stopping Vernon, who was about to play with her pussy.

"Why not? We've done this a few times before," Vernon shrugged. "I should be the one asking why you are still shy after doing this with me a few times."

"W—Well, I—I just think it's shameful…." Chloe muttered.

Vernon smirked and leaned down to kiss her nipple before giving it a quick suck, making Chloe jolt in response, and her clamped thighs trembled in succession.

"Ah— Ahnn!" she moaned sweetly at first and then moaned again when Vernon's rough fingers slid between her pussy lips and her body willingly surrendered to the pleasure, spreading her thighs open for him.

Vernon stopped sucking and nibbling on Chloe's nipple. His hand pulled Chloe's loose pants and took them off, so he could get a clear view of the fleshy, pulsating wet pussy.

"Tsk, how nice," he commented.

Chloe couldn't handle her embarrassment and closed her eyes. But it only heightened the sensation when Vernon's finger traced around her labia and the slit.

"Uhmm… ah!" Chloe's legs trembled when Vernon fiddled with her clitoris between his fingers, playing with it carelessly as if they had been doing this many times in the past.

As if Vernon was supposed to be her soulmate from the very start.

With one hand on her clit, he used his other hand to take off his briefs and he started jacking off.

As he beat his meat, he realized that Chloe's pussy started to get deliciously wet.

His adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard. He got so thirsty suddenly, so he lowered his head, buried his face between Chloe's thigh, and used his nose to fiddle with her clit while he opened his mouth to lick her slit.

"Ah— Ahhnn!" Chloe closed her thighs again out of reflex, locking Vernon's neck, forcing him to go deeper and use his tongue to continue licking around her labia.

"Ah— V—Vernon, it's ticklish— ah!" Chloe was torn between pleasure and shame. She tried to open her thighs, but whenever Vernon used his tongue to start prying inside her slit, she couldn't help to clamp her thighs even tighter, so Vernon couldn't escape her.

Chapter 450Vernon's saliva was mixed with the juice that kept leaking out of Chloe's pussy. Creating a taste that he liked so much, he slurped it a few times.

Slurp. Slurp. Sluurpp.

"Ah— Ahh… ahnnn!"

For every slurp Vernon made, Chloe felt her soul would leave her body through her pussy. It was a feeling of bliss that she wanted to have every day, every night, with this man.

Chloe wondered how Vernon could do something that was supposed to be gross— sucking her pussy— and make it look like he enjoyed it so much.

She opened her eyes slowly and saw Vernon's head buried between her thighs. His hands held her thighs to better control them as Chloe's legs kept trembling, closing, and spreading.

Vernon's mouth started making thrusting motions around Chloe's slit, making sure that his tongue swept inside her vagina and sucked the fresh juice right from the source.

Chloe felt this mind-numbing pleasure brought her to heaven, but the way he kept teasing her with his tongue— especially with his tongue cleaning her pussy out made her feel like she was in a neverending torment in hell of pleasure.

"Ahh! Ahnnn! Ummhhh!"

Slurp! Slurrp!

No matter how many times Chloe tried to muffle her voice, the ultimate bliss brought by Vernon's tongue was just too much, forcing her to moan as loud as possible, filling every corner of the foyer with her sweet moans.

Until she felt a strange sensation swirling inside her pussy, "Auhnn! AUHHHH! AHHH!"

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

Chloe screamed, and her body jolted when she reached climax. She released her pussy juices right into Vernon's mouth. Vernon didn't want any of them to go to waste, so he kept sucking and lapping her up until Chloe stopped convulsing.

He lifted his head and proudly licked the juice around his lips before he checked on Chloe.

Chloe's body was rosy-red right now, with her tits rising up and down, trying to catch a breath after experiencing a climax.

Her eyes were glazed with tears, half closed, before she closed them altogether. She was exhausted, still unable to get used to the pleasure.

It was too much, and drained her in an instant.

Vernon looked down to check on her wet pussy and then at his cock that had already leaked precum simply because he enjoyed slurping Chloe's pussy juice so much.

It had been a while since he fucked a pussy, and this would be the best time for him to do it.

He wanted to, in fact.

He wanted to rub her pussy with his cock before making that one strong thrust, burying his thick cock inside her wet pussy.

'She's gotten fatter too. So she shouldn't be as frail as before,' Vernon swallowed his saliva as he was trying to rationalize what he was about to do. 'Should I do it? Should I grab a condom and just fuck her right here, right now?'

Truth be told, he wasn't a patient man, to begin with. He could've just fucked her and ignored all his worries about her body.

But…

'No, she's not healthy enough,' Vernon reminded himself. 'She might be putting on some weight, but she's still classified as underweight right now. She has also experienced a traumatic event with my Big brother at the school….'

Vernon was putting all the reasons for him NOT to fuck her right now. He just couldn't bear to hurt the woman he loved, even if she might not refuse his advances if he wanted to right now.

"Chloe?" Vernon called her name, but Chloe didn't respond. He waved his hand in front of her closed eyelids. He realized that Chloe had fallen asleep, probably too exhausted after climaxing.

"Well, there you have it, my reason not to fuck her right now," Vernon whispered. He had a helpless chuckle before pulling his briefs up.

He buttoned Chloe's pajamas and pulled her loose pants up. He got up and carefully slipped his hands under Chloe's body to pick her up and carried her like his bride— well, he wished he could carry her as his real bride as soon as possible.

Vernon walked from the foyer to the kitchen and went downstairs. He walked into Chloe's room and gently put her on the bed.

He tucked her with the warm blanket and sat at the edge of the bed, admiring the beauty of his beloved woman.

Vernon used his finger to trace Chloe's face; her eyes were shut, and Vernon imagined the beautiful, sweet doe eyes that would look at him like he was the most dependable man on earth. Her cheeks were rosy and happened to be always rosy whenever they were together. Her lips were slightly parted, and he used his finger to trace around her lips.

His adam's apple bobbed again, and he lowered his head to plant a small kiss on her lips.

No matter how often he kissed her lips, he just couldn't get enough. He was already holding back a lot of times, as her health had the highest priority, much more than his pleasure.

"Well, I can wait, for now. I'll reap what I sow when she's perfectly healthy and ready to give herself to me," Vernon muttered.

He wiped the sweat around her forehead before getting up, ready to leave the room.

But he stopped on his track when he heard a ringtone. He darted his eyes at the drawer near the bed and saw Chloe's phone vibrating, she was getting a call.

Vernon frowned. He wondered who'd call Chloe late at night.

'Is it Vincent? But why?' Vernon wondered.

He stood in silence for a while, not wanting to check on her phone because he wanted to respect her privacy.

The call stopped for a few seconds, and the second call came in. Whoever this person was, they must be desperate to call Chloe.

Vernon clicked his tongue and walked to the drawer. He checked Chloe's phone and read the caller's ID.

Dorothea Gray.
