Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"If you don't sit there, I will bully your Mommy when you're in school," Vernon threatened.

Mackie was shocked by Uncle Vernon's threat as if she got struck by a giant thunder in a clear sky. She always thought she would protect her Mommy every time, but she forgot that she had to go to school!

"T—Then, Mackie will not go to school!"

"Of course, you can't, Mackie," Chloe chuckled and patted Mackie's hair. "School is very important, remember? You can't be smart if you're not going to school."

"But…" Mackie was conflicted. This thing was more complicated than what her little mind could comprehend.

"Well, if you're obedient, then I will be obedient too. I won't bully your mommy while you're in school, okay?" Vernon negotiated.

Mackie looked at her Mommy, smiling, and then at Uncle Vernon, "P—Promise?"

"Promise."

Mackie slowly approached Vernon and raised her hand. She folded her fingers except for her pinky, "Pinky promise me, Uncle! Promise that you will never hurt Mommy!"

Vernon looked down at the feisty and courageous little brat. She might be a little girl, but she was brave enough to protect her mother and even made promises to make sure she was well protected.

Kind of reminded Vernon of himself when he was around the same age.

Vernon crouched and offered his pinky finger. He hooked the little niece's pinky fingers with his, "Pinky promise."

"Now go sit on the chair," Vernon said, but Mackie refused.

"Uncle, go sit with me too! It's fair! If you don't wanna, Mackie won't sit too!"

'This kid, seriously—' Vernon never thought he would be conquered by a little girl who negotiated and bargained with him, the Devil CEO!

But, he conceded in the end, thinking that an unnecessary argument after last night wasn't necessary.

Chloe chuckled when she saw Vernon and Mackie sitting side by side at the dining table.

Vernon glared at her, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Chloe held her laugh. "I will go downstairs and pick up Mackie's breakfast."

"No need, just cook again for three portions here," Vernon said. "And I insist."

Chloe sighed. She didn't eat breakfast at all. She ate so little, in fact, because her stomach would just vomit everything anyway.

So she cooked 2 portions of breakfast instead of three and then served them in front of Mackie and Vernon.

Vernon saw the food and asked Chloe, "Where's your breakfast?"

"Ah, I'm not really hungry…." Chloe replied. Which was true. She wasn't hungry because whenever she imagined food going down into her stomach and making her fat, her gut would spontaneously puke everything out.

…

"Eat," Vernon said, short but in a commanding tone.

"I—I can't…." Chloe rejected it carefully, afraid she might offend Vernon again for whatever reason.

Vernon started to wonder what made Chloe so slow and afraid of eating in front of him.

'Is it because the ingredients I bought for her are not as good as in her previous home? Or she just missed eating in her lavish mansion, so she has no appetite eating here?'

'Is she that spoiled? Fuck, thinking about it makes my blood boil!'

Vernon wanted to curse out loud, but he had already promised not to 'bully' Chloe in front of Mackie. So he just glared at Chloe, which made the already petite lady feel she shrunk even more in front of Vernon.

Mackie hit Uncle Vernon's arm with her plastic spoon, "Uncle, don't scare mommy!"

"What? Do you think that's scaring someone? I'm just looking at her!"

"But Uncle's eyes are so scary! Uncle is like a monster!" Mackie huffed. "Mommy never eats breakfast! Mommy said she doesn't like eating breakfast like us!" Mackie said.

"Is that so?" Vernon continued staring at Chloe with his hawk gaze.

"Y—Yes, Vernon. I… um… it's just a habit of mine. I don't like eating breakfast because I… I have a sensitive belly," Chloe tried to put up the best excuse she got. "Whenever I eat in the morning, it would give me stomachache…."

"Heh, weak," Vernon sneered. He picked one apple from the dining table and threw it at Chloe, "At least eat fruit, but not sour ones. Just eat something like banana or apple."

"Ah—" Chloe scrambled to catch the apple thrown by Vernon. "Y—Yes, thank you…."

Vernon still couldn't believe that reasoning because he didn't remember his sister-in-law having any stomach problems when he was young.

But ten years had passed, and maybe age started catching up to her body.

Thus, Chloe started eating a plate of sliced apples and bananas. She stared at the uncle and niece pair, who were arguing again.

Mackie saw the same food served to her and Uncle Vernon and realized that Uncle Vernon had a bigger portion.

"Mommy! Why does Uncle Vernon have more food than me?"

"Obviously, because I'm the man of the house," Vernon snorted.

"Man of the house? What is that?" Mackie asked.

"That means I got to do whatever I want," Vernon said. He grabbed the spoon and scooped some of Mackie's portion, "Including eating your portion."

"NOOOOO! THAT'S MACKIE'S FOOD!" Mackie yelled as she saw Uncle Vernon scooping her food and adding it to his plate. "UNCLE, YOU ARE BAD! EVIL! MEAN!"

Mackie started hitting Uncle Vernon with the plastic spoon, and Vernon only reacted with an amused chuckle;

"What? Do you want your Mommy to get eaten?"

"E—Eaten?" Mackie stopped hitting and looked at Uncle Vernon on full alert. "M—Mommy will be eaten?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm a big bad wolf, so I can eat your Mommy whenever I want, and your Mommy can't fight me since I'm big and strong," Vernon said as he continued teasing his niece. "So if you don't want your Mommy to get eaten, you need to give me your food."

Mackie's eyes widened. She looked at her food and then looked at Uncle Vernon and Mommy. Mackie pushed her food towards Uncle Vernon, "Uncle can eat Mackie's food, but promise me not to eat Mommy!"
