"Chloe, what should I do?" Vernon asked. His voice was soft, like a kid wanting guidance from his mother, he looked so vulnerable right now, and Chloe knew it was difficult for a man like him to open up.
She saw how some men from the Gray family were raised; all of them were basically traditional men with traditional values. Something like showing vulnerability to a woman was not appropriate and should be shamed.
'Yet, he opens up to me, relies on me and my answer, so… instead of being weak and timid, I have to be a dependable person for him. I need to give him strength just how he gives me one when I feel like I have no place on earth...' Chloe thought.
Honestly, she wished Vincent could open up to her more when they were still together.
