Chapter 164: Chapter 164

'Am I the one who made her cry all this time?' Vernon asked himself in his heart. He acknowledged that he had been treating his sister-in-law badly all this time, so Chloe might have been crying because of him just now. 

'Wait, isn't that what I want? Back then, I said that I would make her cry for ditching me. Isn't this my goal since the beginning?' 

'But why am I distressed now?' 

…

Vernon was also confused about himself. He got what he wanted to see her cry for him, but why did he regret it now?

'Am I that weak-willed to falter over a woman's tears?' 

…

Vernon already knew the answer but didn't want to admit it. He just found himself so pathetic, maybe a little too easy to forgive after the humiliation Chloe had done to her.

'But I just can't see her cry again. I can't bear the pain….'

Vernon didn't know if he could try to be gentler in front of her— because he had never done that to anyone.
