Vermont kept quiet.
‘I guess having a hemorrhoid is better than that.’
"You didn't let anything slip, right?"
Felicity scoffed. "Do you realize how many times you repeated yourself about this? I'm not that stupid, okay?”
Vermont chuckled. "What did Stella say?”
Stella was a very tricky person. Vermont was worried that she may have probed Felicity into saying something without realizing it.
"Nothing much. She just gave me her blessing and said that if you ever dare to mistreat me, she'll ask Keegan to beat you up!"
Her words left Vermont stunned.
‘Stella is an overprotective person anyway. That sounds exactly like what she'd say.’
Felicity added, "We're not really dating anyway. You need me to cover up for you, so I doubt you'd dare to mistreat me.”
Vermont wanted to laugh but kept a straight face anyway. "I wouldn't dare even if we were dating for real.”
Felicity kept quiet.
‘Why do I feel like this guy has become so flirty?’
"Is that all? Didn't she say anything to oppose this relationship?”
Felicity recollected herself. "She told me not to share a bed with you because you've slept with so many girls. She's worried that you'll dump me right after that.”
The edge of Vermont's mouth twitched as he said defiantly, *She hates me because we always go at each other back then. She's deliberately smearing my name.”
“Stella's not that kind of person! It's just hard to trust you with the past you have!”
Keegan kissed her for a long time before moving his lips away. Then, he hugged her without saying a word, resting his chin on her head while slowly catching his breath.
Stella heard his heartbeat pounding as fast as her own. After some time, she said in a deep voice, "Aren't you mad at me for being unreasonable anymore?"
Keegan chuckled as he said in a hoarse voice. "It's been a whole night. Are you still bothered?”
Stella scoffed. "Your twenty million was only enough to make me sleep, not erase my memories, okay?”
"What about another twenty million?”
Stella said, "I don't want your money.” She paused for a moment before continuing, "But I won't mind if you really want to give me that.”
Keegan pinched her cheek, intrigued by her love for wealth. However, his chin was still on top of her head as he said ina low voice, "I was too harsh on you yesterday. I should've been calmer and talked to you instead of immediately calling you unreasonable. Please forgive me.”
