Chapter 383

Marshall pursed his lips. “You know that Aurora has feelings for me. I don’t want her to get the wrong idea, and I don’t want both families to have false hope in us.”

“If you really think so, it’s better if you get a girlfriend soon, and get her to stop thinking about it.”

Marshall chuckled. “It can’t be forced, I’ll find someone eventually. You can introduce me to suitable candidates if you know any. I don’t have unrealistic standards. As for her looks, I’m fine with anyone that looks decent. As for her personality, about the same as Stella will do.”

Keegan stared into Marshall’s eyes, but he could not tell if Marshall was joking or not.

Stella’s perception was much simpler. She was even slightly excited. She turned her head to Keegan and whispered, “See? I’m the type of girl to be sought after in the dating scene.”

First, there was Vermont, then came Marshall. Stella’s confidence was over the roof. Even the way she talked was overflowing with confidence.

Keegan glanced at her. “All beauty and no brains, of course, you’d be sought after.”

‘Bastard, he never has a nice thing to say,’ Stella thought.

Marshall seemed like he was just joking, and recollected after he spoke. “Let’s go see Vermont,” he said warmly.

When Felicity reached Corbin, he was chatting with Vermont.

He was wearing a suit instead of the doctor’s white coat. He had a light smile on as he was talking with his friends beside him. Felicity automatically ignored the crowd surrounding him, as she was only thinking about how good he looked under every circumstance.

Felicity fixed her clothes, then she took delicate steps and walked over to him. She called out to him softly in a cutesy voice. “Dr. Steven?”

Corbin paused and turned around to look at her.

His gaze started from the bottom, flitting by her slender, pale legs, and made its way up to her hips, waist, and chest, and lastly landed on her blushing face.

“You are…” Corbin hesitated.

Seeing that her crush did not recognize her, Felicity was quite disappointed. But, she still introduced herself. “I’m Felicity Thompson. I was your patient before. We even texted on WhatsApp today.”

“Oh, it’s you.” Corbin seemed shocked. He stood up and said gently, “My apologies, I didn’t recognize you just now. You look so different.”

Stella’s heart thumped when she heard Corbin’s magnetic voice.

“It’s Vermont’s birthday today, so I couldn’t wear casual clothes to attend. That’s why I dressed up a bit,” Felicity replied in a soft voice.

Vermont, who was drinking with his friends nearby, paused to take a look at the woman who was standing beside Corbin.

Her height was around 5.3 feet, and her proportions were alright, not too skinny and not too chubby as well. There were indistinct muscle lines visible on her arms and legs. She did not look like a daughter from a wealthy family. Instead, she seemed like a high school athlete who put on grown-up clothes.

Vermont searched his memory for her face but could not remember who she was.

He finished the wine in his glass and walked up beside Corbin. “Who are you talking to?” Vermont said cheerfully.

“Ms. Thompson, you two must know each other well.”

“Ms. Thompson?”

Vermont frowned.

Felicity was shaken. ‘Why must Vermont come over now?! I am nowhere near the progress I wanted. I can’t fail when I’m almost halfway there!”

“Which…”

Before Vermont could finish his sentence, Felicity suddenly went in and embraced Vermont. “Vermont, it’s been a while since I last saw you. You changed a lot! I nearly didn’t recognize you.”

“You…” Vermont pushed Felicity’s shoulders.

Right after she was pushed away, Felicity once again hugged Vermont tightly. “Vermont, do I look different from when I was little?”
