Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother-309 Chapter 309

"Vernon Phoenix Gray, you claimed that you love your Big sis Chloe, even went as far as saying that you did everything for her. But it seems that you know nothing about her."

Vernon turned his head towards Shailene and glared at her, "How dare you question my love for her. Didn't I tell you that I did everything so I could be with her? We will never meet if it's not because of her."

'I know,' Shailene replied in her heart. 'I heard from your mom, that you left only a few days after Chloe's marriage with your Big brother. You must've been heart broken, right?'

Shailene had much information about Vernon from his mom, and she gathered enough information about Chloe from the same source.

'For example, I know that you only ate food that was cooked by your Big sis Chloe since you were a kid, Vernon. That's why I know that Chloe must've been training Vernon to be solely dependent on her,' Shailene stated in her head. 'What a poisonous woman.' 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Too bad Shailene couldn't reveal everything in front of Vernon because it was against her ethics as a psychologist.

Shailene stared back at Vernon without fear, "You can claim that you're the strongest man in the world, but it will take a long road to claim it. Just like when you claim that you love your Big sis Chloe so much, do you have any proof of that?"

"I told I—"

"—then tell me the proof that you're in love with her," Shailene interrupted Vernon, knowing how stubborn this guy was.

"Ugh, you're so fucking annoying, Shailene. Why do I keep repeating myself?" Vernon clicked his tongue annoyedly. "I work tirelessly everyday because I want to show her that I am a capable man. I am also powerful, and I can afford anything that she wants."

"I might just be a multi-millionaire for now. But I will be a billionaire sooner or later," Vernon claimed. "And by that time, she can be the queen of the world. I will make her the queen of the world."

…

"Is that it?" Shailene asked nonchalantly.

Vernon's eyes widened. He gnashed his teeth as he got offended by Shailene's nonchalant attitude.

"Fuck! You're supposed to be the best in this field! Why do you continue to undermine my hard work?! You're not helping at all!"

"Calm down," Shailene replied, still with a nonchalant attitude. "I am just asking. Because all I see is YOUR achievement. What YOU want, not hers."

Vernon was stunned by that statement, "What do you mean?"

Shailene sighed, full of woe.

'I know it. Vernon is not really in love with his Big sis Chloe. He's just obsessing over her.'

"Vernon, to love someone is to understand about your loved one," Shailene said. "You may have everything in this world. But if you don't know one thing about her, then you're not in love with her. You just think that giving her everything is what is called love."

"O—Of course I know everything about my Chloe!"

"Then, let's start with the easiest one," Shailene put her note down and leaned towards Vernon's direction. "What is her favorite color?"

Vernon was stunned. His breath stiffened for a second because he was caught off guard by the question.

"W—What is her favorite color? Ah… uh…" Vernon realized that he didn't know Chloe's favorite color. He never thought of that, in fact.

"I—It's not an important thing! Why do I have to answer the most trivial question ever just to prove that I love her?!"

"You have no idea about her favorite color, right? Something like that should've been very obvious just by looking at her stuff, mostly clothes," Shailene sighed. "What's her favorite food then?"

"That's—"

"What's her favorite tv show?"

"Wait—"

"What's her favorite place to go on the weekend?"

"I—"

"What's her favorite thing to do to unwind after a stressful day?" f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

…

Vernon was finally silenced when he realized he couldn't answer any of the questions from Shailene.

The realization hit him hard because he realized that he actually knew nothing about Chloe.

"As expected," Shailene said. "You don't know a thing about her. Do you call that love?"

"… Just… trivial things…" Vernon replied weakly as he tried to defend himself.

"Indeed, those are trivial things. But would you claim yourself to be in love, when you know nothing about her?" Shailene added. 'And let me knock some sense in your head, Vernon.'

"Let me tell you something, Vernon. You might be mad after this, but this is the truth and you should take my credibility as a woman, and a person who studied female psychology."

"You're not in love with her," Shailene stated boldly. "What you feel is called obsession and dependency. That feeling is usually created and molded since you were a kid."

"You're dependent on her presence, and you're obsessed with the idea of loving and owning her," Shailene said. "You know nothing about her, and you're not really interested in her as a person. You're just interested in the idea, and it is all about yourself."

"Admit it, Vernon. It's all because you want to have a nice, fulfilling life with any woman. If I'm the one who took care of you when you were a kid, you will latch yourself on me instead."

…

…

Vernon was completely speechless by Shailene's statement. He had a few things in mind that contradicted Shailene's statement, such as when she said he wanted to have a fulfilling life with any woman.

Vernon would boldly claim that he would rather never settle down unless it was with Chloe.

But he didn't want to deny her for now because he was confused.

'What she said confuses me. I don't even know what to think right now…' Vernon already had a lot of doubt in his heart. He was unsure about many things, and his only anchor was one truth.

That he was undoubtedly, hopelessly in love with Chloe Gray.
