Chloe closed her eyes and buried her face into Vernon's chest. She felt guilty for forcing Vernon to meet Dorothea. 

Maybe she just had such an idealized view of what a good family would be, so she thought that Vernon would be able to accept Dorothea if Dorothea tried hard enough.

She wanted Vernon to have a complete family, with a mother, wife, and daughter. Because in her mind, Chloe always thought that Vernon would not have a happy life as long as he hadn't made peace with his past, and that past was his mother.
