Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 695 695





Chloe put on a gentle smile as she left Dorothea's room. She grabbed Mike and Tony's hand and said, "Okay, boys, let's go up and celebrate Christmas together, your Boss Mackie has been waiting for you under the Christmas tree."

"Whoo!"

"Christmas tree!"

"Christmas with Boss Mackie!"

Aaron stared at his Aunt in silence and then asked, "Is it really okay, Aunty?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"I mean, is it really okay for us to come? What if Uncle doesn't want us there?" Aaron asked. He looked at his little brothers, who were excited to go but knew Uncle Vernon didn't like them.

He tolerated them all, including Grandma. But he was far from welcoming.

Though Aaron wanted to spend Christmas with Aunt Chloe and Boss Mackie under a real Christmas tree, he wouldn't want to make Uncle Vernon uncomfortable because he had done so much to let them live here, with a comfortable bed, good food, and running hot water. And most importantly, they didn't get hit for small mistakes or glared at every day.

Uncle Vernon even went as far as helping them to go to school later.

So Aaron knew that he couldn't ask for more. 

Chloe's lips thinned. She nodded assuringly, "Don't worry, Uncle already told me that you boys can come."

'I understand if he doesn't like Dorothea to be around, and I don't want to argue with that because his hatred for Dorothea is justified,' Chloe thought. 'But these boys are pitiful, they did nothing wrong to him, and they are very close to Mackie. Besides, this is only a one year thing, it's Christmas.'

'If he still wants to kick these boys out, then I'll argue with him this time.'

Determined with her decision to bring the boys into their small Christmas party, Chloe brought them all to the penthouse.

She unlocked the door and walked in with the boys tailing her from behind like ducklings following their momma duck. 

Mackie was busy eating a cake while drinking hot chocolate on the carpet in front of the TV as she just finished her breakfast. Her eyes brightened instantly when she saw her cousins come in.

She got up instantly and rushed to the boys, "Merry Christmas everyone!"

"Boss!"

"Merry Christmas, Boss Mackie!"

"Christmas!"

"Christmas with Boss!"

Chloe smiled as she watched the kids snuggling in a big hug. The room was filled with chatter of Mackie and the boys. It was indeed a lively Christmas morning that made Chloe happy.

Because this was the first time in ten years she had ever had an easy, non-stressful Christmas, surrounded by a family she loved, and she didn't need to hide in Mackie's room.

When she still lived with Vincent, he would yell at her for showing up at every Christmas Party in their mansion. So he would lock her in their master bedroom or in Mackie's room, which she preferred because that meant she at least could spend Christmas with Mackie, decorating the same mini Christmas tree she bought a few years back as Vincent didn't allow her to buy something like that because it was 'wasteful.'

Meanwhile, he gifted all of his mistresses lavish gifts that Chloe could ever dream of in her life. It was unfair, but Chloe could only stay silent because Vincent would beat her if she dared to protest.

'Ah, why am I thinking about that bastard? This is Christmas, I should be thinking about joyful things instead.'

Thus, Chloe warded off the thought about Vincent and asked the boys, "So, who's hungry?"

"Ah, um… we already ate breakfast, Aunty," Aaron replied. "Grandma Dorothea prepared us early breakfast, so we don't need to eat more here."

"I see…" Chloe nodded. She understood that Dorothea must've been well prepared for the worst. She thought none of them would be welcomed anyway, so she didn't want the boys to starve.

"Then, which one of you wants cake and hot chocolate just like your Boss Mackie?" She asked again."

The boys' eyes brightened, and they nodded in unison.

"I want cake…"

"Me! I want cake and hot chocolate!"

"I want it too!"

"Hot choco! Cake!"

Their voices were so loud that they accidentally woke the sleeping wolf in his den.

SLAM!

The door slammed open, and everyone immediately focused on Vernon.

Vernon yawned, then grunted. He peered his eyes at everyone around him, and the moment he shifted his scary gaze at the boys, they quickly rushed to hide right behind their Aunt. 

Vernon scoffed and returned to the bedroom to wear a shirt before walking leisurely to the kitchen. He ignored the eyes who were checking his every movement and sat at the dining chair to begin eating his full breakfast.

There was a long silence in the room until Chloe opened her mouth, "Okay, you boys sit with Boss Mackie, I will bring out the cake and hot choco."

"Thank you, Aunty."

"Okay, Aunty."

"Un…"

"Okay…"

All the joyful mood disappeared instantly when Vernon appeared. They were too scared to make a noise, afraid they might anger the wolf and get eaten. 

Chloe sighed and went to the kitchen to bring out the cake.

She put the cake on the kitchen counter and divided it into five for the boys and the Big Bad Wolf, who was still eating breakfast.

She gave each of the boys a cake and a cup of hot chocolate before returning to the dining table and giving one to Vernon, who had just finished his breakfast. 

Chloe put the cake on the table right in front of him and kissed him at the corner of his lips, "Merry Christmas, handsome."

Vernon was stunned by the kiss. He already planned to ignore everyone at Christmas because Chloe still brought those boys. But that kiss was like a wake-up call that ruined his plan.

Of course, he couldn't ignore his beloved's kiss.

So he turned to the right and kissed Chloe on the lips, "Merry Christmas, love."
