Chapter 1020

Felicity was stunned, and a sharp scream followed. “Ahhh! Your butt is on fire!”

Vermont was confused. Then, he felt the heat on his buttocks after a few seconds. He turned around and saw a tall flame burning on his shorts.

He quickly jumped off the sofa, took off his burning shorts, and threw them aside in a swift motion.

Felicity saw it and quickly walked over to stomp on the shorts, putting out the flame.

She still felt a lingering sense of shock. When she turned around and was about to ask Vermont if he was burned, she saw him standing beside the sofa naked while wrapping her blanket around his waist.

Felicity’s eyes widened as she glowered at him and said, “What are you doing with my blanket?!”

Vermont tied a knot with it and swept his gaze across her. “Do you prefer to see me naked then?”

The imagination of Vermont’s naked body flashed across her mind as she blushed and kept her mouth shut.

Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “Why aren’t you wearing underwear?”

Vermont replied slowly, “It’s the same reason why you don’t wear a bra at home. It’s more comfortable this way.”

Felicity was speechless.

Vermont could not help but roast her after saying those words, “Aren’t you very good at cupping? How could you light my shorts on fire? I’ll probably be burned alive if I didn’t react quickly enough.”

Felicity felt extremely guilty, and her usual confidence was nowhere to be found as she spoke in a low voice, “I don’t know how to do cupping. This is my first time doing it. But I was doing just fine earlier, right? The doorbell scared me and it… just happened.”

Vermont looked at her. “Your mistake almost cost me my future generation. I wonder how you would compensate me if something really happened to me.”

Felicity lowered her head, looking remorseful. She only spoke softly after Vermont lectured her, “I’ll take full responsibility if you were really harmed because of my mistake.”

Vermont paused and said nonchalantly, “And how would you do that?”

Felicity replied naturally, “By marrying you, of course.”

Vermont’s heart skipped a beat as his chest trembled. He felt a tingling sensation spread across and his heart thumped unrhythmically.

However, what Felicity said at the next second completely crushed the excitement in him. “In that way, nobody else would know about your dysfunction. I’ll keep this secret for the rest of my life even though it means being a widow,” Felicity said guiltily.

The edge of Vermont’s eyes twitched.

Then, his face turned pale. He lost his balance and was about to fall.

Fortunately, Felicity was standing beside him and quickly grabbed him.” Stinky Cucumber, are you okay?”

Vermont replied with his colorless face, “The burned spot is starting to hurt. ■

Felicity suddenly became anxious. “You were just fine a moment ago. Why does it suddenly hurt now?”

“I didn’t feel anything just now, but it’s burning now… It’s probably a delayed pain.”

Felicity panicked. “So you’re burned? What to do now? I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Vermont rejected her. “Do you realize how shameful this is? Are you expecting to tell the doctor my butt was burned during cupping therapy? I’ll probably die of embarrassment before I can get treated.”

“But we’ve got to do something about it.” Felicity thought to herself. ‘If something bad really happened to him because of my mistake, there’s nothing I can do to compensate him.”

Vermont looked at the guilty and nervous look on her face and reassured her instead, ’Don’t worry. I’ll rinse it with cold water in the bathroom first. Let’s see if it’ll get better.”

Felicity did not have a better idea, so she helped him to the bathroom.

Vermont went into the bathroom alone and Felicity waited outside.

Other than the sound of running water, Felicity could not hear anything else. So, she asked, “Stinky Cucumber, how are you? Feeling any better?”

After a while, Vermont replied, ‘Would you check who pressed the doorbell just now first?”

So, Felicity walked away.

The doorbell only rang two to three times and then stopped.

Felicity opened the door, and expectedly, no one was there. Instead, there was a cardboard box placed at the doorstep.
