Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"Oh, about the payment—"

"No need to bother, Gurl. It's my duty to pay," Diamond replied. "Mr. Phoenix Gray came here often, and I'm usually the one who paid for his expenses, since he usually came out dead drunk."

"Ah, I see…." Chloe sighed in relief. She didn't have any money, to begin with. She might have to use the black card that Vernon gave and have to cut his salary.

"I see, then, please take care of this, Diamond. I have to bring this super drunk guy back home," Chloe said. "I think he is just as drunk as before."

'Just as drunk?' Diamond glanced at Vernon again. 'Eh, I don't think he's dead drunk. He's just a little dizzy and sleepy, perhaps. I can see the difference.'

Diamond knew well that her boss was fully conscious but acted as if he was going to pass out anytime soon.

'Acting, huh? Hopefully something good will come out of it… like a baby, perhaps,' Diamond chuckled. "You should return home now, Gurl. I'll handle this."

"T—Thank you, Diamond."

Chloe led drunk Vernon out of the bar.

Diamond watched Chloe, who tried to stuff the big guy inside the passenger seat of her car, and her boss was struggling for some reason.

Diamond chuckled. She was happy to see Chloe, who seemed to have gained some courage in front of Mr. Phoenix Gray.

'Well, as long as she's happy. I'm willing to help her with anything,' Diamond thought.

Diamond turned around after being satisfied watching the banter between two potential lovers.

She crossed her arms, and her eyes darted at the bar owner, "Okay, business as usual, tell me how much he spent tonight."

The bar owner was about to say the number, but Diamond interrupted him again;

"—Oh, and…" Diamond's eyes swept around the empty bar. She stared intensely at each of the waitresses standing on every corner of the bar. "… The matter about Mr. Phoenix Gray's girlfriend shall never leave this place. None of you is allowed to tell anyone about this, because—"

Diamond went silent for a while, trying to find the right words to intimidate everywhere here "—because Mr. Phoenix Gray's current girlfriend is very private. We need to give her time until they go public, understand?"

The waitresses replied in unison, "Understood."

"Good, I will give all of you generous tips as a reward," Diamond said.

She shifted her attention back to the bar owner and added, "You have to watch over everyone who witnessed this tonight. Mr. Phoenix Gray will NOT be happy if this news leaked."

"C—Certainly," the bar owner nodded without thinking twice. That name was enough to strike fear in his heart because he knew that Mr. Phoenix Gray wasn't someone you'd want to mess around with.

He might be young, but he had so many powerful connections that fighting him meant death… or at least bankruptcy.

"Come on, Vernon. Just sit still and buckle up!"

Chloe struggled to put on the seatbelt around Vernon's chest because Vernon kept struggling and refusing to sit still.

"No, I will drive!" Vernon insisted.

"You—!" Chloe was trying so hard to maintain her composure. Vernon had done enough to make her worried sick, so she didn't have much patience to deal with this big baby.

"Vernon, you're drunk! We will die if you're the one who drives!" Chloe yelled. "Just sit still and let me put on your seatbelt!"

"NO!" Vernon also didn't understand why he became so stubborn. He wasn't that drunk, or so he thought.

But the alcohol surely made him act in certain ways.

He blamed the alcohol for making him unreasonable because he refused to sit in the passenger seat while Chloe drove him home.

Why? Because he felt like a fucking kid!

He was a big boy! An adult!

Big sis Chloe had already humiliated him enough by pulling his ear as a punishment. Now she also wanted to drive him home?

She even put on the seatbelt for him, as if he couldn't do it alone!

"I will drive!" Vernon insisted. "I'm not drunk!"

"Not drunk?"

"Yes!"

"Then tell me your apartment address," Chloe said.

"Uh… ah…" Vernon tried so hard to remember his apartment's address to no avail. "It's… uh… something street with… long road, I guess. Urgh! I remember! I swear!"

Chloe was astonished by how stubborn Vernon was. She wondered if the effect of alcohol could be this strong because she had never experienced being so drunk like this.

Vernon continued struggling, "I will drive!"

"Why do you want to drive so bad?"

"Cuz' I'm a big man!" Vernon puffed his chest proudly. "I can drive you home!"

Chloe was stunned by Vernon's statement.

The alcohol regressed his mind, making this big man act like a kid.

Chloe wasn't all that surprised by Vernon's drunken stupor.

She remembered how Vernon acted so spoiled that night when he was drunk and accidentally mistaken Chloe for the woman he loved, maybe one of his exes.

So she naturally knew how to calm this big baby, even though she didn't want to do the method.

'Ugh, it's so embarrassing, especially when I have to do it in public, but I have to do it because I need him to stop struggling,' Chloe complained.

Thus, Chloe took a deep breath and leaned toward Vernon.

She didn't give Vernon time to react, and she kissed Vernon's forehead gently.

Chu~

"Wha—" Vernon was stunned by the kiss. He stared at Chloe with blank eyes. He wanted to know what was the intention behind the kiss.

Chloe gave a sweet smile to the intimidating CEO, who happened to turn into a big baby right now, and said;

"My cute Vernon, stay still and let's go home, okay?" Chloe said with her sweet voice. She pretended she was talking to the little Vernon she cared for when she was young.

The shock was too much for Vernon. He was unresponsive but attentively stared at his beloved woman's beautiful doe eyes.

Then he replied with a simple nod.

"Un, let's go home..."
