Chapter 1024
Vermont’s heart was about to jump out of his chest, yet he pretentiously asked, ‘Be my what?”
After thinking that Vermont would not have to go through this if it was not for her, she made up her mind and said with gritted teeth. “I’ll be your fake girlfriend. Would that be okay?”
Vermont paused and looked at her from head to toe. ‘You? I guess not.”
Felicity immediately got upset as she thought that Vermont was looking down on her. “What? I admit I don’t have big breasts and long legs like your ex-girlfriends, but what other choice do we have now? Other than me, where else can you find someone… someone who will keep this secret for you?”
Vermont sighed. “That’s not what I meant. I just don’t want to hold you back.” He paused and lowered his head, continuing, “Aren’t you interested in Corbin? And there has already been something going on between you two, right? So if you were to become my fake girlfriend, everything would be ruined for you. I can’t let that happen.”
Felicity suddenly looked hesitant after hearing Corbin’s name.
Vermont observed her expression silently. When Felicity was still fighting herself over it, he coughed and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. After all, this is a very big decision. Perhaps this is my fate. Why did I even ask you to do cupping for me…”
Felicity was still in a dilemma, but what Vermont said immediately flooded her with guilt. Every single word that came out of his mouth hit her right in her moral code, repeatedly bashing her conscience.
‘Do I even deserve true love if Vermont has to live like this forever?’ Felicity was drowning in guilt.
Besides, she had already made it obvious that she was interested in Corbin. Although he did not reject her, he had not given her a direct response either.
’Perhaps he doesn’t like me. I guess he didn’t reject me because he thought I’d be hurt.’
Even though she showed so much interest in Corbin, to be honest, she had not really thought about what getting into a relationship with him would be like.
Perhaps she did not even have any hope herself.
