Felicity hurriedly finished buttoning up her clothes and opened the bathroom door in response to Vermontâs knock.â Whatâs up?â she asked.
âThe grilled fish is getting cold. Come on out and eat,â Vermont urged.
âAlright, Iâm coming.â
Vermont was already seated at the dining table when Felicity emerged from the bathroom. He waved her over.â You took a while in there. Were you constipated or something?â
Felicity was speechless. âYouâre quite the pest,â she shot back, as she glared at him. âOther couples go on dates. They sip on coffee or wine and explore various places together. But, with you, all we do is eat, drink, and sleep.
Vermont handed her some cutleries with a grin. âThose are the basics of life. Who spends their days in an RV with a glass of wine? Will you be drinking when we have children?â
Felicity was feeling a little stifled. âCanât we have a bit more romance? I feel like you didnât really woo me. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I just settled with what I have.â
âWhat do you mean I didnât woo you?â Vermont looked up and chuckled. âI asked you to play video games with me and invited you for meals. Isnât that a way of pursuing you?â
Felicity was exasperated. âThatâs what you call courtsmanship? Based on that logic, I must have many potential suitors!â
she said, as she began to eat.
âYou have tons of exes. How did you pursue them back then? Why am I getting the short end of the stick?â Felicity asked, and her frustrations were apparent. âDid you not put as much effort into pursuing me because Iâm not as pretty as them?â
Vermont knew she was genuinely upset when he heard her mention his ex-girlfriends. He walked around the table, pulled a chair, and sat beside her. He took her hand and spoke gently. âWhy compare yourself to them?
Youâre not in the same league. Itâs your inner qualities that truly won me over.â
Felicity grew even more discontented. âSo, you admit Iâm not as pretty as your ex-girlfriends?â
Vermont chuckled softly. âItâs not like that. Theyâre no longer a part of my life. In my eyes, youâre the most beautiful person in the world.â
Felicity felt even more aggrieved. âCanât you just say that Iâm prettier than them?â
Vermont sighed. âIf I said that, youâd see right through me and feel even more unhappy.â
Felicity pouted. âThen, tell me, how did you pursue them?â
Vermont smiled. âHonestly, I didnât really have to try that hard. Most of the time, it was just a couple of dinner dates, and things naturally fell into place. After all, I own a house, a car, and a company, not to mention my good looks. I donât really have any bad habits either. They were usually willing to accept me whenever I made a move.â
Felicity thought about it and mumbled, âWell⦠Is there anyone who wouldnât accept you with that thick skin of yours?â
âYouâre really misunderstanding me. Love is a two-way street. If I pursue someone and they say no, then itâs done. I wonât continue to pursue them.â
Felicity suddenly recalled Vermontâs confession to her. After being rejected, he immediately distanced himself from her.
She then felt a pang of heartache.
âIs your affection really that shallow? You confess once, get rejected, and give up?â she asked.
Vermont said, âI was young back then. If I liked someone, Iâd confess. It didnât matter if I got rejected.
There are so many girls on this Earth. Iâd just find another girl I like and confess again. There was bound to be someone whoâd say yes.â
Felicity was dumbfounded. âThat makes you sound like a scum.â
Vermont chuckled softly. âBabe, scums date multiple women at once. They mo
