章 426: Chapter 426

"It's fine…." Chloe replied. "But it's better if we don't talk about it, Vernon. I don't want to make it awkward."

Vernon's heartbeat skipped for a second. He almost couldn't hide his shock and sadness in response to Chloe's reply. But he tried to toughen himself up and nodded, "Yeah, it's better for us not to talk about it."

Now it was Chloe whose heartbeat skipped, and she quickly looked away as she didn't want Vernon to see a trace of sadness in her eyes, "Yeah, you're right…."

Vernon clasped his knees for a moment before he got up, "You should get properly dressed. We're going out to eat in a restaurant today."

Chloe turned her head slowly and asked, "Eating outside? With you? And Mackie?" she paused for a moment, waiting for Vernon to refute her, just in case she misheard his statement. But he didn't, he really meant it, and he had planned it since this morning with the help of Diamond.
