Chapter 1212
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Felicity perked up at the mention of getting revenge against Sophia. âHow dare she call me a moron?
Do I look like a moron?â She turned to Vermont and asked.
Vermontâs lips curled up in amusement. âYouâre more of a Munchkin.â
âWhat do Munchkins look like?â Felicity asked.
âHold on,â Vermont said as he quickly pulled up a collection of cats on his phone.
Felicity was elated to be compared to adorable creatures. However, she soon noticed something odd.
âWait. Why are their legs so short?â
âAre they?â Vermont looked at the pictures and asked. He turned to Felicity and said, âI think they look pretty similar to yours.â
Vermontâs words made Felicity mad. âYouâre the one who has short legs!â She stomped on his feet and said.
Vermont grunted, pretending to be in pain, but Felicity ignored him. âI didnât mean to say you have short legs. Iâm just saying youâre cute.â
Hearing that, Felicity turned away and tried to hide her smile.
âActually, I just got a cat. Itâs arriving in a couple of days,â said Vermont.
Felicity was excited to hear that. She loved cats, but her landlord did not allow pets in the apartment.
So, the thought of Vermont getting a cat made her a little envious.
âI have a picture of it. Do you want to see if itâs cute?â Vermont asked.
âSince youâve already bought the cat, you have to take care of it no matter what it looks like. Pets are friends, not toys,â Felicity said, showing concern for the catâs well-being.
âI didnât spend any money on it. My friendâs cat gave birth to a litter of kittens, and I picked the cutest one. Are you sure you donât wanna have a look?â
Unable to resist her curiosity, Felicity turned and looked at Vermontâs phone. To her surprise, she saw her face with cat ears edited on there.
Vermont leaned over, smiling as he said, âWell? Isnât she cute?â
Felicity could not help but be charmed by his antics. She glared at Vermont and muttered, âYouâre such a smooth talker.â
Vermont grinned and handed her a tissue. âOkay. But for real, I did adopt a cat. It just turned one month old and will arrive tomorrow. Youâll get to meet it then.â
âTomorrow? Have you gotten any supplies for the cat?â Felicity asked.
Vermont paused. âDo I need to?â
âDuh! We need to get some kitten formula, wet food, and a litter box; unless you want it to poop and pee in your bed.â
âOh, I didnât think that far ahead. I just thought it was cute and wanted to bring it home.â Vermont sheepishly admitted.
Felicity could not believe what she was hearing. âIâll accompany you to the pet store tomorrow to get all the necessary supplies for the little furball.â
Vermontâs lips curled up slightly. âThanks, Felicity,â he said.
She glanced at him and continued, âIâm not letting an irresponsible owner like you take care of it alone.â
As they were chatting, Felicity noticed Sophia walking out of the hospital in a hurry. She tapped Vermont on the shoulders and said, âThere she is!â
They saw Sophia getting into a cab and leaving. Vermont followed the vehicle at a safe distance and soon arrived at the Jewell residence. The cab then drove away after dropping Sophia off.
Vermont and Felicity sat in the car and waited to see what would happen next. Not long after, a black BMW passed by. Felicity recognized it immediately and said, âThatâs Albertâs car. Stella has driven me in that car before.â
