Chapter 1520
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Felicity was simply lying.
All the boys she liked during her school days ended up being her buddies, and she even introduced a girl to one of them. Last year, she attended their wedding where she spent a thousand dollars on the wedding gift forthem.
As for the others, they either got snatched by some other girls or realized that their ***ual orientation was gay as they grew older. Otherwise, a good catch like her would not have stayed single until now.
âThereâs no one, right?â Vermont grew smug after seeing her silence. âYou were just making something up to tease me, right?â
Felicity could not stand the prideful look on his face!
So, she stiffened her neck and said, âOf course, there is! Not only that he was my first love, but we also grew up together! We used to spend so much time together when we were younger, and he would take me everywhere. He was handsome, had a good temper, and was very good at cheering me up.â
Initially, she only said that to mess with Vermont. But, once she talked about it, she recalled many things even though she could not really remember what that boy looked like. âBack then, I was very chubby and rough. When I played with the other kids, I would accidentally hurt them. They would cry, call me an ogre, and say Iâd never find a husband when I grew up. I was really sad, but he would help me deal with those naughty kids. Heâd tell me that Iâm very cute and if no one wants to marry me when I grow up, he would.â
Vermont could not stop laughing. âDid you really believe him? Is that how he cheers you up?!â
Felicity glowered at him. âDo you think everyone is a liar like you?â
Vermont said, âWell, why didnât he marry you, then?â
Felicity pouted. âThatâs because his parents earned a lot of money, and they moved to the city.â
âOh⦠I get it now.â Vermont was teasing her. âSo, the poor boy turned into a rich kid and abandoned his childhood sweetheart, huh?â
Felicity scoffed. âNo! He gave me his number, but I lost it when I was moving! Do you think youâd have a chance with me if I still have his number?â
Vermont was not convinced. âYou lost his number, but doesnât he have your number? It has been so many years, and he never even called you once. It was all just a joke to him.â
âThatâs impossible.â Felicity tried her best to prove her charm. âHe couldnât find me because my mom and I moved to a different place after my parents divorced.
âHe was really nice to me. One time, I climbed up a tree and got stuck up there. He was worried that Iâd fall and hurt myself, so he offered to catch me with his arms. I listened to him, and I ended up breaking his arm. He was in so much pain that even his face turned pale, yet he comforted me and asked if I was okay because I cried.â
She became angrier, as she spoke. âWhat about you? I stepped on you, and you acted like you were paralyzed. How dramatic!â
Not only that Vermont did not retort, but he also had an odd expression on his face.
Felicity thought that she had successfully proved her charm to Vermont, and she continued proudly, âSo, what do you think? Feeling hurt, huh? Do you know how average you are as a boyfriend? He set the bar so high, yet I still gave you a chance.â
She expected Vermont to talk back, but he just remained silent.
Felicity lifted her gaze at Vermont and saw that he was frowning and looking strange.
She could not figure out what was happening and thought maybe she had gone too far with her joke.
She lightly tapped Vermontâs shoulder and said,â Stinky Cucumber? Are you okay? I was just kidding.
Donât take it too seriously. How could I possibly-â
Before she could finish speaking, Vermont suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked, âWere you living in Joyville before you moved?â
Felicity was taken aback. âHow did you know?â
