Chapter 1147
Felicity was embarrassed about Richie tearing up Vermont’s clothes. “I think he likes you. I’ve never seen him so excited to see anyone before,” she said, trying to repair the damage.
Just as she said that, they heard Richie tearing another piece of clothing, and Vermont was utterly speechless.
Felicity’s grandmother was a kind little old lady. After she saw how miserable Vermont looked, she immediately said,” Felicity, go and grab a set of your father’s old clothes for your friend to change into. You can bring him to buy new clothes in the morning.”
“Alright,” Felicity said and immediately ran upstairs to get the clothes.
Vermont was dirty and covered in thorns. He was too embarrassed to sit down on the couch, so he stood obediently in the living room. Although he was in a mess, his silver tongue remained unchanged. “Hi, Grandma,” he said.
The old lady smiled and said, “When Felicity said she was bringing a friend home for the holidays, I didn’t expect it to be a young man.”
Vermont paused when he heard that. “She told you I was her friend?”
The old lady was taken aback by the question. “Aren’t you?”
“No, yeah. I am,” said Vermont with a smile.
The old lady was skeptical after he said that. ‘What’s with his tone? Could it be that he’s her boyfriend?’ The woman’s gaze changed immediately. She eyed Vermont from top to bottom and thought, ‘This tall young man is rather polite. His looks are… too dirty to tell right now. But he doesn’t seem very smart since he was chased around by Richie.’
“What’s your name, young man?”
“My name is Vermont Snyder. You can call me Vermont.”
While Felicity was getting the clothes, Vermont was downstairs talking with her grandmother. It was like they were best friends. When the old lady saw Felicity coming, she asked her to take Vermont to the bathroom and went out to call Florence.
