บท 705: Chapter 705

"Mommy, what were you doing with Uncle last night?" Mackie asked innocently.

"Ah—uh… we did nothing, dear," Chloe replied as she lied through her teeth. "We fell asleep immediately. We are both exhausted."

"Then why were you screaming last night, Mommy?" Mackie asked. 

"Screaming?" Chloe's eyes widened. She wondered how Mackie could hear her scream when she was supposed to be sleeping last night. There was no way that Mackie would wake up because of her because she was in Vernon's room while Mackie was sleeping peacefully in her room downstairs.

"Un," Mackie nodded. "I got thirsty last night, so I went to the kitchen to get some water. But when I went upstairs, I heard that you were screaming, and then calling Uncle's name so many times, and then screamed again."

"I got worried. I thought Uncle is hurting you, Mommy," Mackie said. "But then I believe that Uncle will never hurt you, right? He's not like Daddy…."
