"Tsk, let them in. We have a lot to talk about, Chloe," Vernon said, which sounded more like a warning for Chloe. He snorted and entered the car all by himself, unlike his usual self, who usually opened the door for Chloe.

But she couldn't care less right now. She was already glad that she could give her nephews a safe place to live. It was the only thing they needed right now. Chloe let out a relieved sigh. She turned around to face her nephews and smiled at them, "Boys, let's go. You will go to our home, okay?"

The boys were hesitant. They obviously sensed the hostility and annoyance of the scary man who drove the car, so they were scared that they wouldn't be welcomed.

Chloe sighed. Of course, this would happen. Vernon didn't even bother to hide his displeasure, so Chloe crouched in front of them and said, "Don't worry, boys. That's Uncle Vernon, he won't hurt any of you. He's just tired because wworkslong days, okay?"

The boys looked at their oldest brother, waiting for his decision.

Aaron nodded, "Thank you, Aunty. We will believe in you…."

Aaron looked over his shoulder to command his little brothers, "Don't be scared. We all believe in Aunty, right?"

"Um…"

"Yes, I believe in Aunty!"

"Me too!"

Chloe was relieved that Aaron was able to control his little brothers. So it wasn't difficult for Aaron to persuade them.

They sat in the backseat while Chloe joined Vernon at the front. Vernon said nothing. His eyes were staring straight at the road she drove away from the police department, but Chloe knew that he must be pretty pissed right now, and justifiably so.

Because Chloe had intentionally ignored his warning and went as far as creating not only one but FOUR troubles for him to handle.

Chloe clenched the hem of her shirt. She was scared that Vernon would yell at her again. She was too comfortable staying with Vernon, who was always so sweet to her, that the idea of being shouted at by Vernon made her want to cry.

But she had to be ready for everything because she had to protect her nephews. They had nobody but her, and if they were thrown into real foster care, Chloe was scared that they'd get separated.

Vernon entered the basement and parked his car in the usual spot.

"Put these kids into the tenth floor, give them a room right next to Dorothea's. I will wait for you in the penthouse," Vernon said curtly. He got out before waiting for Chloe's answer and slammed the car door.

Chloe flinched and then checked from the rearview mirror.

The boys were sitting in silence. They must've been scared by Vernon just now.

"Boys, it's time to get out, follow me, okay?"

"Um, okay Aunty…." Aaron said as he opened the car door first.

Chloe helped the boys to get out of the car and then headed to the tenth floor, where Dorothea's suite room was located.

The door right next to Dorothea's room had been opened. Vernon had already told the front desk to prepare one big room for them.

Kate entered the room with the boys tailing from behind.

"Woahh!"

"Wahh!"

"Wow, so bright! Shiny!"

The three boys were excited when they saw such a sparkly room with a huge glass pane that showed the view outside. Meanwhile, Aaron followed his Aunt everywhere around the room as Chloe checked everything to make sure the boys wouldn't hurt themselves at night.

After all, they had to be left alone in here before Chloe could do something with the arrangement, maybe allowing them to sleep on the lower floor of the penthouse, it'd be nice if they could be around Mackie, so Mackie wouldn't get so bored.

After Chloe finished making sure everything was safe, she turned towards Aaron, who had been watching her intently.

She crouched in front of him and said, "Aaron, I know that you've been through so much today. But you're the oldest here, and you have to take care of your brothers."

"Um…" Aaron nodded as he kept listening.

"I want you to take care of your brothers just for the night, I'll have to talk with Uncle Vernon and see what I can do. Hopefully, he will allow us to stay together, okay?"

Aaron nodded, but he asked out of concern, "Will you be okay, Aunty? That Uncle looks so mad…."

Aaron didn't know the relationship between Aunt Chloe and that scary Uncle. But since Aunt Chloe had already left Uncle Vincent, Aaron had a few guesses in his mind.

"I will be alright. He won't hurt me," Chloe said assuringly. He's just mad because I did something without his agreement at first."

Chloe got up and raised her voice so the other boys would listen, "Boys! You guys will have to stay in here for the night, okay?"

"Un, okay!"

"Yes, Aunty!"

"Listen to your big brother, and don't make trouble. If you're hungry, just use the phone and press number 1, then say what food you want to eat, okay?"

"Un!"

"Okay!"

"Yes!"

"Um, Aunty, we already ate before the… you know… so we're already full," Aaron said, not wanting to make it difficult for his Aunt.

"I see… but I won't stop you boys if you want a snack and such," Chloe said as she felt that the boys deserved at least sweets to calm themselves after they went through, especially Aaron.

He was only six years old, younger than Mackie. But he had been through a very difficult and traumatizing situation that no kid should've gone through.

The boys rejoiced after that.

Aaron thanked her, and Chloe reluctantly left the room.

She closed the door and glanced at the door next to the boys, where Dorothea was probably sleeping right now.

Honestly, she wanted to ask Dorothea to at least watch the boys while she was away having an argument with Vernon.

But not now. The boys and Dorothea didn't know each other. She had to do some proper introduction before she could let them be together.
