Chapter 2099

Felicity got shy. She texted: [I opened the parcel and saw it. It's a little too revealing. How can I wear it?]

Stella replied: [Just do it. Tell Vermont that it's a cosplay outfit and ask if it looks good on you.]

Felicity froze.

Stella was about to type something more, but Vermont called her. She answered the phone and heard him asking, "Did miss bandit tell you that herself?"

She replied, "Of course. Otherwise, how could I suggest you have a baby with her first? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to meet her parent?

Felicity had already mentioned it to Florence before, and that was when Florence came up with the condition.

"Felicity was afraid that directly telling you would hurt your pride as a man, so she was still finding the best way to bring it up to you."

Vermont rubbed his temples. "Is Mrs. Thompson not afraid of me taking advantage of Felicity?"

Stella said, "She's way richer than you. For her, a son-in-law is nothing more than a toy to please her daughter. If the toy misbehaves, she can just replace it. How could a toy possibly take advantage of its owner? There'll always be a better toy."

Vermont gritted his teeth. "Shut up if you don't know how to use analogies!"

He paused momentarily before saying, "Do you have miss bandit's mother's number?"

Stella quickly forwarded Florence's number to Vermont upon hearing that.

When she was still studying with Felicity, Florence had once visited their dorm and brought them a lot of fruit. Stella had a great chat with her at that time, so they exchanged numbers. However, Stella had never called her.

Vermont saved the number and added the remark "mother-in-law."

Stella then said in a very gentle tone, "Mr. Snyder, I've told you everything I know. About the favor I mentioned, could you..."

Vermont immediately turned against Stella. "I’m sorry, can't do it."

After that, he instantly ended the call.

Stella's expression darkened. 'What a cunning fox he is!'

Vermont spent a long time psyching himself up before finally dialing that number.

The call was answered shortly after. Vermont nervously stood up and spoke in a very formal tone, "Hello, Mrs. Thompson. This is Vermont."

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Vermont?"

Vermont paused. Before he could say anything else, the person added, ■' Hurry up and deliver the gas tank. Freddie needs it now."

Vermont was speechless. 'Did she mistake me for someone else?'

"Mrs. Thompson, I'm Felicity’s boyfriend, Vermont Snyder."

The person paused momentarily before asking, "Can I help you?"

"I have something to tell you." Vermont took a deep breath and continued," Mrs. Thompson, I know you proposed a condition to Felicity, but I also want to express my stance. I want to marry her and be with her simply because I love her.

"If you insist on US having a child before you can approve of our relationship, I think it's not only disrespectful to me but also to Felicity.

"I understand that raising her hasn't been easy, but you've got to give her the freedom of being herself and making her own decision. If you are unsatisfied with me, then you're free to make any demands to test my worthiness.

"But the condition you came up with is not it. Felicity is still a child herself and is not ready to be a mother at all. If you want her to get pregnant at this stage of her life, it won't be fair to her and the baby."

There was a long silence on the other end, then suddenly a loud shout," Florence, does Felicity have a boyfriend? They even have a child already! Why didn't you tell any of US about it?"

Vermont was shocked.

Then, he heard a cold and sharp voice from the phone, "Who has a child?"

"Beep-" Vermont immediately ended the call.
