Stella could not help but wonder, 'Vermont is such a nosy person. How could he manage not to immediately spread out such earth-shattering gossip upon hearing it? He actually guessed right away that it was a set-up. How exactly does his mind work?'At this point, Stella had no other choice but to resort to her ultimate move![Vermont, you know best about my relationship with Felicity. Do you remember when you just got together with her, I was the first to oppose it?]Vermont replied: [You still have the nerve to bring it up now!]Stella texted: [You had so many ex-girlfriends, and none of your relationships with them lasted long. I only did that because I was afraid that you were only fooling around with Felicity. I didn't want her to get hurt.]Vermont did not retort. Clearly, he thought what Stella said made sense.She continued: [After we got to know each other better, I realized that you genuinely liked her. I didn't stop you two from dating, did I? When you were pretending to
Felicity got shy. She texted: [I opened the parcel and saw it. It's a little too revealing. How can I wear it?]Stella replied: [Just do it. Tell Vermont that it's a cosplay outfit and ask if it looks good on you.]Felicity froze.Stella was about to type something more, but Vermont called her. She answered the phone and heard him asking, "Did miss bandit tell you that herself?"She replied, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I suggest you have a baby with her first? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to meet her parent? Felicity had already mentioned it to Florence before, and that was when Florence came up with the condition."Felicity was afraid that directly telling you would hurt your pride as a man, so she was still finding the best way to bring it up to you."Vermont rubbed his temples. "Is Mrs. Thompson not afraid of me taking advantage of Felicity?"Stella said, "She's way richer than you. For her, a son-in-law is nothing more than a toy to please her daughter. If the toy
Vermont stared at his phone blankly, belatedly realizing that hanging up so abruptly might have been a little inappropriate.But he could not believe how the woman on the other end of the phone twisted his words and said that he had a baby with Felicity.Considering what she said and the fact that he ended the call so abruptly did make him look like a scumbag who did not want to take responsibility after getting someone pregnant.He paced back and forth anxiously, trying to organize his thoughts and figure out how to explain himself when he called back later.Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into his head. 'Isn't miss bandit the best witness to prove my innocence?'So, he immediately came out of the bathroom and walked to Felicity's door, asking, "Miss bandit, are you in there?"A bell rang from inside the room, and Felicity answered, "Yeah, why?""Can you open the door? I need to talk to you," Vermont said as he initiated a video call with Florence.He thought to himself, 'I'
But the aunties were very friendly."Oh, Florence. Felicity's boyfriend is so handsome! I like him!""No wonder you said that you were not interested when I introduced my friend's son to Felicity before. It turns out that she already has a boyfriend, and they're even living together. They're such a good match.""Young man, how old are you? Where are you from? What do you do for a living?""Since you two already have a child together, when are you planning to have the wedding?"...Vermont awkwardly said, "What child? We don't have a child.""You just mentioned something about a child on the phone earlier. Didn't you say that Felicity has a child already?"At this point, Vermont gave up.He was impressed by how that person heard just a word he said on the phone and came up with a whole different story on her own.Facing his future mother-in-law, no matter how embarrassed he felt, he dared not to hang up abruptly again. After all, the happiness of his marriage would still depen
Vermont's gaze darkened.Felicity noticed his reaction and meowed again.He gulped as he asked in a low voice, "Who told you to dress like this?"After all, Felicity was inexperienced in love and had never dated anyone else before Vermont.She awkwardly wrapped her arms around his shoulder and asked in a flirtatious, high-pitched voice, "Don't you like it?"Vermont was amused by her strange tone. Then, he pinched her cat ears and laughed as he asked, "Is something wrong with your vocal cords?"His words ruined the atmosphere that had just been built up.Felicity grabbed his hair as her face turned red. "Are you crazy? What are you laughing at?" she said through gritted teeth.Vermont sat down next to her and hugged her while still chuckling. He asked, "Why can't you talk properly? Doesn't your throat hurt from speaking like that?"Felicity pushed the unromantic man away and stood up to leave, annoyed.But as soon as she got on her feet, she heard a tearing sound and felt her
Vermont was surprised. "Do you have a death wish?" He asked.Felicity looked away and stammered, "You don't have to hold yourself back. No one's stopping you anyway."He reached out to pinch her cheek and said in a low voice, "It isn't the right time yet."Felicity's motivation for wanting to sleep with him was wrong; she was doing it to satisfy Florence's pregnancy condition, which is why Vermont did not want to do it.He wanted it to be out of love and something they would enjoy.Felicity was speechless as she thought, 'We're already in such a position. How can it still not be the right time?'I spent so much effort finally getting things to this stage. What is he thinking?'She frowned and pushed him away. "If now isn't the right time, then when is?"Vermont sat up. "After I deal with your mother."Felicity paused. "D–Did you find out about something?"Vermont hugged her and asked in a deep voice, "What something?"He figured that if Felicity did not want him to know abou
Marshalll hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where?"Vermont then told him the address.Marshall asked again, "Is Keegan going?"Vermont responded in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Let's not talk about that ungrateful scum. He's been so entitled ever since he lost his memory."And Stella, whenever I argued with Felicity, she'd ask her to break up with me."Our relationship has gotten so much worse because of her. Because of her, miss bandit and I had another argument today. It's so annoying!"Marshall glanced at the time and said, "Send me your location. I'll take a cab over in a bit."When he arrived at the bar, Vermont and Carter were already drinking in the private room.Other than them, there were several other young people from wealthy families, both male and female, playing games together.With a cigarette in his mouth, Vermont chatted with the girls next to him while rolling the dice. He was humorous, embodying the image of a charming playboy. The girls around him could not
After collecting the money, Vermont tossed the dice to the person beside him and poured two glasses of liquor. He handed one to Marshall and sat down next to him. "Did you come from the office?""Yeah," Marshall responded and took a sip of the drink."Why are you and Ms. Thompson fighting?"Vermont's expression instantly turned sour upon hearing Marshall's question. "We're here to have fun. Why do you have to ask about such unhappy things?"Marshall said gently, "Ms. Thompson is a very genuine and nice person. She's younger than you, and you should be more accommodating to her.""Am I not being accommodating enough to her?" Vermont put down his glass and spoke with a stern face. "I've had so many girlfriends; have I ever been as open and sincere with any of them as I am with her?"I know she's a genuine person, but she spends all her effort on her friend. When does she ever care about me? She isn't even willing to bring me to meet her mother. Am I such a bad boyfriend that she ca
