Chapter 81: Chapter 81

"W—Welcome back, Vernon. I've prepared dinner for you, but it went cold already. I'm going to reheat it," Chloe said. She took the bowls of food covered with aluminum foil to the dinner table.

She had to reheat it first, maybe recooked some because it wouldn't look appetizing even after reheating with the microwave. 

"No need, I'm not hungry," Vernon said. 

"Huh?" Chloe stopped on her track, looking confused at Vernon. "You… are not hungry?"

"I've had dinner with my business partner. We went to my favorite restaurant," Vernon replied ruthlessly. He smirked when he saw the lost expression in Chloe's eyes. 

Honestly, Vernon also noticed the sadness in her eyes. It seemed that she had been crying so much. But he reckoned that she must've been crying because she didn't get all the lavish lifestyle she expected from marrying Vincent.

Now she had to work as a maid every day. A spoiled woman like her would've cried daily because of that, right?
