Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160

“We’ve got to at least finish picking everything on this row.” Felicity scoffed after seeing how exhausted Vermont was. “It’s your fault for insisting on coming here. I came back home to rest, yet you just had to drag me along and become free labor!”

Vermont was astounded by Felicity’s words. He was just trying to prove himself to her mother.

Felicity initially wanted to take Vermont shopping for a few clothes when they woke up in the morning. However, they bumped into Florence just when they were about to leave.

Vermont casually asked where she was going, and Florence told him she was going to the orchard to pick apples because there were not enough workers. Florence was worried they would be unable to harvest everything in time.

Vermont heard that and saw it as an opportunity to impress his future mother-in-law. So, he immediately offered to help.

He was too eager to prove himself to Florence and completely failed to notice the signals that Felicity kept sending with her eyes.

Upon arriving at the orchard, he only realized that picking apples was not an easy task.

The apples on each tree ripened at different times and varied in size. Some trees even had different kinds of apples, requiring them to separate the apples upon picking them.

They had been working the entire morning and only managed to pick seven trees. They were exhausted after constantly climbing up and down and bending over. Even worse, a whole row of trees was still waiting for them to harvest.

Vermont could not help but defend himself after hearing what Felicity said, “I’m just trying to help your mom. The more we help her, the less tired she’ll be.”

“Help her? She’s thrilled to get two free labors, saving her a day’s wages!”

Vermont had no words to respond to her. He was about to say something but heard a loud woman’s voice coming from behind, “What are you two talking about?”

Felicity was startled and immediately stood up. “Mom.”
