Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



  Diamond helped Chloe to get out of the car, and Chloe could clearly hear the gasp of her daughter.

"Mackie?" Chloe asked hurriedly, thinking that her daughter might've been hurt. She wanted to remove the blindfold to check on her daughter, but Diamond quickly stopped her.

"Nu-uh, no peeking until we reach the surprise," Diamond warned.

"But Mackie—"

"I'm okay, Mommy!" Mackie announced. 

"Hear that? Is she okay? She's just surprised with what she saw just now."

"Un! It's so amazing!" Mackie cheered even more. "Let's go, Mommy! Diamond! I want to see what's inside!" 

"Inside?" Chloe had a lot of questions in her mind. She couldn't wait to remove the blindfold, but since Mackie didn't seem to be in danger, she decided to follow Diamond's lead.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

She could hear Diamond's heel tapping through the marble floor. She climbed the stairs until she reached the second floor.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Diamond opened a big door and gently led Chloe and Mackie into a room.a

"Waaaahhh!" Mackie squealed in awe as she looked around her surroundings. "Mommy, it's so big! So cool! There is a hanging chandelier!"

Chloe got incredibly curious about whatever surprise she had. Her expectation was through the roof.

Diamond finally stopped after she led Chloe for a while. She stepped back and said, "Stay right there, Girl. Your Prince Charming will come soon."

Diamond looked at Mackie, who was still looking around and whispered to the little girl.

Mackie's eyes widened and then glimmered with excitement, "Un! I want to!" She tapped her Mommy's hand and said, "Stay here, Mommy! I'll be back!"

"Huh? Will you be okay? Mackie? Diamond?"

…

There was no more answer. 

Chloe began to get anxious. She grabbed the black satin covering her eyes, ready to remove it.

But before she could do that, a strong hand gently grabbed her wrist, wrapped his arm around her waist, and hugged her from behind.

Chloe struggled for a second before identifying this hand and how this man hugged her.

This was none other than her own man.

"You should turn around first, love, then you can take off the blindfold," Vernon whispered in her ear.

Chloe quickly turned around and took off the blindfold. Her gaze blurred for a second before she could see her beloved man's handsome but a bit tired face. 

Vernon couldn't hide the eye bags under his eyes, but he still looked and smiled at Chloe, even though Chloe could tell that Vernon was nervous right now.

"Vernon!" Chloe didn't wait until Vernon spoke. She hugged him so tightly to release all her worries for the past three days. "Thank god, I thought you'd leave me after you didn't come home for three days!"

Vernon chuckled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and quickly lifted her slightly until her feet didn't touch the floor.

"That's ridiculous, love. Why would I leave? I'm just busy preparing for… everything."

"What do you mean?" Chloe asked. She soon noticed her surroundings.

She was in a ballroom with a beautiful hanging chandelier and a wide white door leading to the balcony with a view of a beautiful flower garden.

"Wait, where are we?" Chloe asked. "Did you rent this ballroom for a surprise today?"

"Rent?" Vernon chuckled. He gently put her down and held her hand, "I never rent. I owe—well, we owe."

Chloe's eyes widened, "We owe? You mean—"

"Yes, let me show you," Vernon led Chloe to the balcony and showed the beautiful flower garden decorated with various flowers, "I set a big flower garden for you. I know you like gardening and how much you like arranging a garden. So this is free for you to decorate further."

"This mansion is huge, with at least twenty bedrooms," He turned around and stared at the ballroom, "It's in the New York suburbs. It took about two hours to reach the city. It might be a bit far, but I love it here. It's less hectic and the perfect place to raise a big family," Vernon turned his head towards Chloe and asked, "Don't you think so?"

Chloe was still stunned by the whole thing, and Vernon didn't wait for Chloe to respond.

He went down on one knee and took a small red box from his pocket. 

He looked up with a nervous but wishful face towards Chloe, who was still stunned silly.

"My love, my muse, my destiny, I am not good with words, and no words can convey my true love to you."

"But you should know that I love you—more than myself—more than anything in this world. I need you as much as I need to breathe, and my life won't be complete without you."

"Chloe Carlson…" Vernon opened the red box and showed a beautiful diamond ring glimmering under the sun. "Will you marry me?"

…

Chloe stared at Vernon and the diamond ring consecutively. Her heart felt tight. So tight that no word could come out of her mouth just now.

She didn't know how to express her joy right now because, truly, though she hoped for a proposal, she never expected herself to get it in such a mature manner. 

Vernon truly showed that he had grown to be a responsible man, preparing a proper house for their family as a proposal. It might not be the most spectacular or flashy.

But it showed that he was ready to be a husband and a father. 

Just as she was about to respond, she heard the music start playing in the ballroom, followed by the sweet voice of their little girl.

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem

But if I know you, I know what you'll do

You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream.

"Did you ask her to sing?" 

"Hehe, I just thought it'd improve my success if I let her sing with her sweet voice," Vernon's cheeks reddened a bit. "So, Chloe Carlson, will you—"

"Yes," Chloe replied without hesitation. She wiped the tears of joy pooled at the corner of her eyes. "I am all yours, Vernon Phoenix Gray."
