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
Carter's eyelid twitched, and he quickly interrupted Vermont. "Have some water. Do you want me to walk you to the washroom?"Vermont pushed him away and rested his hand on Marshall's shoulder. "I really don't understand. What's so good about that woman? She got married to someone else right after breaking up with you. What exactly do you see in her?"Is it because she was pregnant with your child when that accident happened, so you've been feeling guilty and can't forget about her?"Carter had a sudden urge to stuff the dice into his mouth to shut him up. 'How come I didn't realize this guy talks so much when he's drunk? Does he even know what he's talking about right now?'However, Marshall's expression remained calm. He took a sip from his glass and calmly asked, "Who is Willow?""Do you really not remember? Why aren't you willing to get a new girlfriend and settle down if you don't?" Vermont poked his chest as he added, "When Felicity and I went shopping the other day, we bumpe
After a while, Vermont came back.As the alcohol took its toll, Marshall leaned back on the couch. He loosened his tie with one hand and turned to Vermont, who was sprawled drunkenly on the couch with a glass of alcohol in his hand. He said, "Cheers."Carter was just like Marshall. Although they had their fair share of drinks, they were still sober.He looked at his phone and propped himself up on the couch. "I'll call a cab. Let's send Vermont home first."Before Marshall could speak, Vermont instantly said upon hearing that, "I'm not going back. If you guys are leaving, I'll just stay here tonight."Carter paused. "Stay here? Aren't you afraid that Ms. Thompson will find out?"Vermont scoffed. "So what if she did? Do you think I'm scared of her? She doesn't even want me to meet her parent. I'll just break up with her if things don't work out."His phone on the table rang as soon as he finished speaking.Carter glanced at the caller ID "miss bandit." Then, he bent down, picked
