Chapter 1148
‘It seems like she’s fine with it,’ thought Vermont. “May I know why you still have his clothes?”
“Well, my mom bought them. There was no way we were going to let him have it,” Felicity rightfully said. “My mom was going to give the clothes to my uncle, but they didn’t fit him. She was reluctant to get rid of it, so she kept it. A lot of the labels have not even been removed yet. They’re probably considered antiques.”
“Do you have a good relationship with your dad?” asked Vermont, wanting to learn more so that it would be easier for Felicity’s family to like him.
“It’s not good per se, but it’s not bad either. We didn’t really have much time together. My dad is not from here. When my mom married him, she lived far away from here for six or seven years. She then took me back to live with my grandma and got divorced in less than two years. My dad was still in school back then, so I didn’t get to see him much. He finished high school and wanted to study abroad. My mom was not willing to go with him to the city, and they had a fight about it. Since they couldn’t come to an agreement, they decided to go their separate ways and signed the papers. My dad has been pretty good to me, but there’s been a lot of tension between him and my mom. He started a family a long time ago. I have a half-brother, you know? But his current wife doesn’t like us being in contact, so I don’t really take much initiative to get in touch with him.” Vermont picked out the gist of everything and thought,’ Okay. Mom hates the old man. In conclusion, approach with caution.’
Felicity opened the bathroom door and handed him a towel. “Wash up. And, remember to throw out your dirty clothes later.”
“My back hurts,” said Vermont.
“Well, of course it hurts. You freaking fell from a tree! You shouldn’t have run when Richie chased after you, dummy.”
“It’s not like I wanted to run. That dog is massive. He chased after me with his tongue out, drooling all over. It’s called reflexes, Felicity.”
Felicity laughed and said, “Look at you. You’re the big boss of a company, yet you got chased by Richie. Don’t you know that the more you run when a dog chases you, the more excited it gets? The trick is to bend down and pretend to pick something up to throw at them. I guarantee that 80% of dogs would fall for it.”
“What about the other 20%? Half of them are rabid dogs while the others are police dogs. What do I do if I come in contact with them?”
