Chapter 1320

‘It’s one thing to have a string of bad romantic encounters, but it’s another when his genitals can’t even function correctly!’ Felicity muttered to herself. ‘I can’t possibly like Vermont. It must be because of all the time I’ve spent with him lately. I’ve always been into brilliant scholars like Doctor Steven!”

Soon, Marshall showed up at the party. He bumped into Felicity at the entrance, but she left before he could greet her. He surveyed the room and spotted Vermont sitting in a corner with a slightly furrowed brow.

“Why are you sitting here all alone?” Marshall asked.

Hearing that, Vermont snapped out of his thoughts and invited Marshall to take a seat.

“The others are probably changing right now to soak in the hot spring,” answered Vermont. He then paused momentarily before adding, “Why are you late?”

“I had some work to do at the law firm,” Marshall replied, taking a sip from the glass of water the server had brought him. “What’s up with Ms. Thompson? I ran into her earlier, and she seemed a bit off. She didn’t even acknowledge me when I said hello.”

“I have no idea,” Vermont replied in frustration. “She’s acting so weird. She got angry out of nowhere when we were talking just now.”

Marshall let out a chuckle when he heard that.

Vermont glanced at him and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at the fact that despite having so much dating experience, you still seem clueless about how women think.”

Vermont was not about to let that slide. “You do know that you’re single, right?”

Marshall did not know what to say.

“You’re not getting any younger, Marshall. Meet up with the girls your mom sets you up with and give them a chance. Your mom is growing older by the day. You should find someone so she stops worrying about you,” Vermont continued.

“Yeah. I know,” Marshall replied.

Vermont patted Marshall’s shoulder and rose to his feet.” I’m going out to look around. Catch you later.”

Felicity was freshening up in the restroom when she received a call from Stella swimsuit. After all, the day’s main activity was to soak in the hot springs.

Even though Felicity and Stella were open and bold on social media, they opted for modest swimwear.

Stella did not feel comfortable wearing something revealing with so many people around. So, she went for a patterned tankini. Meanwhile, Felicity wore a one-piece swimsuit because she felt insecure about her belly.

Stella owned numerous stunning bikinis. Unfortunately, Keegan was not one for swimming, which limited her chances of showcasing them.

After changing, the two lingered on the upper floor for a while.

Felicity leaned against the balcony as she looked toward the hot springs. She intended to wait until more people arrived so she would not feel awkward.

She turned to Stella a while later and said, “Let’s go down now. It looks like everyone is already there.”

There were a few hot springs at Onsen Villa to spare strangers from the discomfort of soaking together.

Vermont spotted Felicity and Stella when they arrived. He waved them over in his swim trunks, displaying an impressive physique.

Upon seeing him, Felicity instinctively turned and pulled Stella in the opposite direction.

Stella held her back and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I don’t want to be near him,” Felicity pouted.

Stella was surprised to hear that. “Did you two have a disagreement?”

Felicity frowned, uncertain how to proceed. After a brief pause, she muttered, “I’m mad at him.”

“What did he do to upset you?” Stella inquired.

Felicity bit her lip. ‘I can’t tell her I’ve fallen for Vermont when he doesn’t feel the same, can I? No. Wait.

I don’t like him. How could I possibly fall for a playboy?’

Stella saw that her best friend was struggling to come up with an explanation. Hence, she offered her some reassurance. “It’s okay. It’s normal for couples to argue. Let me know what he did, and I’ll give him a piece of my mind later.”

After a bit of coaxing, Stella managed to persuade Felicity to turn around.

Vermont had already secured a prime spot at that time. When he saw Felicity, he promptly stood up and said, “Here. You can have my spot.”

‘Why the hell is he being so nice to me right now?!’ thought Felicity.
