Chapter 1118

(After all, her dishes all taste the same. Literally anyone who eats them would suffer from stomach issues.] Vermont’s words stung like a knife in the back. ‘Let’s see if you dare show off your relationship next time,’ he thought.

Keegan was at a loss for words. He had tasted Felicity’s cooking before and knew her food was much better than Stella’s. However, he was not about to give in and let his partner lose. [That’s talent, okay?

She is not good at quality control if all her dishes taste different.)

That made Vermont laugh. [Don’t you feel guilty for lying, Keegan? If given a chance, are you going to say that Stella’s fart smells good too?]

The corner of Keegan’s mouth twitched as he replied, [ Asshole.]

Vermont felt happy. ‘That mutt really needs someone to put him in his place. I can’t just stand back and let him have all the fun. Though, I am rather jealous that Stella, who loves money so much, would give him a coded amount as a gift.’

As he thought about it, he quit the game and shot Felicity a message, [How are you spending Thanksgiving?] He waited for half an hour, but there was no reply. Vermont immediately became upset and called her.

It did not take long for Felicity to answer. “Hey, what’s up?”

Vermont was a little disgruntled. “What are you up to right now? Why didn’t you reply to my text?”

“I didn’t see it. I just picked up some medication.”

Vermont paused. “Medication? What kind of medication?”

Felicity was speechless when she heard how clueless he was. “Your medication, duh! I noticed that you’re almost out of pills, so I went out and picked some up for you to avoid having to buy them last minute.”

Hearing that, Vermont’s mood improved instantly, and he could not stop smiling. “Look around and grab anything you want. I’ll pay for it when you get back.”

Felicity pursed her lips and said, “Why, thank you for buying me pills.”

Vermont laughed half-heartedly, saying, “I didn’t say you had to buy pills. You can get anything you want, and I’ll pay.”

There was a crowd at Felicity’s side of the phone, and she found it inconvenient to be talking on the phone, so she said, “Is there anything else you want to tell me? I need to hang up now.”

“I texted you asking if you have plans for Thanksgiving.”

“I’m going home to celebrate the holiday with my family. I’ve already bought the ticket. I’m leaving once I send you the meds.”

Vermont was shocked. “So soon?”

“Thanksgiving is in two days. I’d miss the holiday if I don’t leave now.”

Vermont was heartbroken to hear that. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He complained.

“Well, you didn’t ask. And why would I tell you I’m going home to see my family? I’ll be back after the holidays.”

Vermont did not know what to say. He gritted his teeth and tried to find an excuse, “We’re literally boyfriend and girlfriend. What would people think if they asked about you, and I didn’t know where you were because you left without a word?”

Felicity paused and said in a low voice, “Our social circles don’t overlap much. Who in the world would ask you about me? You’re clearly overthinking it.”
