'Look at you now. You've grown so big and strong,' Chloe said in her heart, not wanting Vernon to listen to her monologue as she was afraid it'd offend him.
'But, no matter how powerful, strong, and intimidating you are, you're still my cute little Vernon. Though, I bet you hate to be called cute, hihi….'
Chloe also remembered that Vernon hated to be called cute, even when he was just a kid.
'Which is unfortunate because you were very cute back then,' Chloe thought. The child Vernon had many similarities with Mackie, which prompted Chloe's sense of motherhood, treating them both as her kids.
Chloe continued staring at Vernon, and her lips curled. She was trying to hold the urge to pinch Vernon's cheek like she did back when he was just a kid with a chubby cheek.
'Too bad the chubby cheeks are now gone. Still, I want to pinch, though….'
After fighting her own urge, Chloe finally gave in and slowly stretched her hand until she reached Vernon's face. She pinched Vernon's cheek with her thumb and index, then pulled his cheek until he could see his teeth.
'My cute little Vernon…' Chloe called Vernon's name in her heart. She giggled happily, thinking how Vernon would always sulk or throw a tantrum when she did this. He always claimed that his Big sister Chloe had touched the face of Young Master and should be punished, but he never hit her or anything. He just sulked until Chloe coaxed him with a homemade banana-based dessert.
Vernon frowned when he got pinched. He grunted but was still sleeping. He slowly released Chloe from his bear hug, allowing her to escape.
'Hihi, even as an adult, you still don't like to be pinched. Guess old habits never die, huh?'
Chloe got up from the muscular giant and looked at him from head to toe. She still wanted to wake Vernon up so he could sleep in his bedroom.
But she didn't want to risk it again. Thus she went to Vernon's bedroom to grab the blanket.
She returned to the sofa, and before she covered his body, there was one scene that made her stunned instantly.
Vernon was still fully erect after Chloe accidentally awakened his big cock. The bulge was clearly printed on his trousers.
But he dared to scratch his dick while he was asleep. He even did it twice for some reason.
Chloe's cheeks reddened. She knew it was a normal reaction for men, especially when they were asleep.
But it was still embarrassing to see it right in front of you.
Thus, Chloe quickly covered Vernon's lower body with the blanket and went to the kitchen to start cooking breakfast.
She checked the clock, 'Ah, six-fifteen. Damn, he literally hugged me for half an hour.'
She planned to make an English breakfast, with bacon, sausages, eggs, cherry tomatoes, beans, and mushrooms.
"They need to eat a lot for breakfast today since they skipped breakfast yesterday," Chloe said as she was in a good mood to cook for the small family of three.

Mackie woke up first around seven in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed for a while because she dreamt about her Daddy last night.
She dreamed of going to the mall with her Daddy and Mommy too! Even though they had never been to the mall as three.
Her Daddy picked her up and let her sit on his shoulder, and Mackie felt that she was the queen of the world because everyone else was so small when she sat on top of Daddy's shoulder.
"Wuu… Daddy…" Mackie murmured sadly. She missed her Daddy a lot, but Mommy told her that Daddy was still dealing with his problems and could not be contacted.
Mackie was used to not seeing her father for a long time. After all, he stopped coming home about a year ago. Only came home about once a month or simply just picked Mackie up from school and went to the mall with her before dropping her to the mansion and leaving again.
But at least she could see her Daddy's face…
Mackie wanted to tell her Mommy that she wanted to see Daddy. But whenever she mentioned Daddy, Mommy always looked nervous and sad.
Mackie didn't know what made her Mommy sad, but she stopped asking after that, knowing that asking about Daddy would only upset her Mommy.
"I still miss Daddy…." Mackie lowered her head sadly. It took her a while to recover. She got up from the bed and washed her face before opening the door.
She knew Mommy must've been cooking breakfast for them, so she climbed the stair to the upper floor where her Mommy usually cooked breakfast for them.
It was also the home of the big bad wolf, Uncle Vernon. Who always bullied Mommy and often yelled at her.
But Mackie didn't understand why Mommy looked a lot happier here. She smiled more, and she even ate fruits and soup instead of ice, which she did a lot of times in their old home, the mansion before.
'Mommy is so weird. Why is she happy here? Uncle Vernon is not as good and kind as Daddy…' Mackie pondered.
Once she stepped on the last staircase, she directly saw her Mommy busy cooking in the kitchen. Mackie could smell the aroma coming from grilled sausage, and her mood improved drastically.
She ran towards her Mommy and hugged her thighs, "Mommy!"
"Wah— Mackie— you scared me!" Chloe scolded.
"Hehe, good morning, Mommy!"
Chloe quickly put the spatula on and patted Mackie's head, "Dear, go sit on the chair. Mommy is almost finished with breakfast."
"Okay, Mommy!" Mackie nodded.
She sat at the dining table and stared at her Mommy for a while. She heard her Mommy humming while preparing breakfast, something that she hadn't heard for a long time!
Mackie's eyes glimmered with hope. She was genuinely happy with her Mommy's joyful mood!
