Chapter 1677

Felicity glared at Vermont. “I’m off to see my bestie!”

Vermont dragged Felicity’s suitcase and said, “You’re being a tad melodramatic. Stella hasn’t clarified anything about her relationship with Marshall. Can’t I be mad at her for Keegan?”

“You weren’t just mad though. You were personally attacking her! How dare you tell me not to hang out with her anymore?! We wouldn’t have even met if it wasn’t for her!”

“Alright, alright. So, she played matchmaker. I’m thankful that I got to meet you,” Vermont said while pulling Felicity toward the bedroom. “But, what’s with the whole storming out every time something happens?”

Felicity huffed, “This isn’t my home; it’s yours. And, this doesn’t count as storming out. I didn’t even put any clothes in there. I was just giving you a little scare.”

Vermont lifted the suitcase and confirmed its feather-light weight. He sighed, “Ever heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf?”

Felicity gave him a side-eye. “Yeah. People didn’t believe him when the wolf finally came, and the boy lost his sheep. Similarly, you’re going to lose me if you don’t chase after me. Do you think that I wouldn’t leave just because I didn’t pack my bags?”

“Well, I did chase after you, didn’t I?” Vermont put his arms around Felicity’s waist and continued, “Are you hungry, baby? What do you want for a late-night snack? Let’s get you something to eat.”

Felicity was excited about the idea of getting some food, but her mood turned sour when she saw her round face in the mirror. “What’s with you and food? All you do is eat! You don’t even have abs anymore!”

Her reaction confused Vermont. He glanced at his chiseled abs and then at Felicity’s chubby face. He pursed his lips and said, “I guess I’ll… lose the weight?”

“About time! You should’ve started way before this!”

Suddenly, Vermont understood what Felicity was hinting at. He pretended to be sad and said, “But, I can’t do it alone.”

Felicity eagerly took on the responsibility and said, “I’ll be your weight-loss partner. I’ll motivate you until you look like Ryan Renolds!”

Vermont was rendered speechless. “But that wouldn’t be fair. You’re not even fat.”

“I still need to exercise and stay healthy,” Felicity declared with conviction.

Vermont suppressed his laugh. “Alright. Mutual monitoring it is.”

He found Felicity cute with the extra weight. She looked charming with her big eyes and chubby cheeks. Additionally, he did not have to worry about others bullying her since she would be strong enough to handle herself. Instead, he was worried that she could not handle a fight if she was too thin.

‘She wants to lose weight without me commenting on her weight gain. Why is she so adorable?’

Vermont could not help but hug her and give her a kiss.” Starting today, no more late-night snacks.

Let’s go for a run later, okay?”

“I came out on top in the long-distance race during my school days. You’ll have to run faster to catch up with me,” said Felicity proudly.

Vermont examined her from top to bottom before he said, “I bet you got into Trinity University because you wanted to join their athletic program, right?”

“I did consider joining, but my mom told me that PE teachers earn peanuts.”

‘I doubt she would worry about your salary with the empire she built for you,’ thought Vermont. ‘But, considering how lowkey she is, I guess she would say that.’

He ruffled Felicity’s hair and said, “Wait here while I go change my clothes.”

Felicity nodded and went to the entrance to put on her shoes.

Just as she put on one shoe, Vermont’s phone rang. She called out to him, but he did not respond. So, she slipped on the other shoe and went to answer the call on his behalf.

The caller was a woman, and her voice was warm and friendly. “Hello? Is this Mr. Snyder?”

Felicity glared at Vermont. “I’m off to see my bestie!”

Vermont dragged Felicity’s suitcase and said, “You’re being a tad melodramatic. Stella hasn’t clarified anything about her relationship with Marshall. Can’t I be mad at her for Keegan?”
