Chapter 1191
Felicity covered her ears as her face turned red. She stammered, “No, that’s not what I meant! I wasn’t thinking about anything like that at all. I just think that you’re a good person, and I want to be your buddy.”
Vermont’s smile faded a little. “Don’t go telling anyone else about this. You’re my girlfriend now.”
Felicity paused and felt like his tone did not sound quite right when he said that as if he was angry. Then, she asked softly, “Are you okay?”
Vermont’s expression turned cold. “Yeah, it’s just that my wound is hurting.”
Felicity was taken aback again. “Why is it hurting again?
Didn’t you say it was almost healed when we returned to my hometown?”
Vermont was still mad about her calling him a buddy, so he replied without holding back, “Yeah, it was. But your precious Richie chased me up a tree, and I fell. Now even my whole back is hurting.”
Felicity became worried and said softly, “Why didn’t you say anything earlier? Does it hurt a lot? Is it serious?”
Vermont’s mood improved after seeing how concerned and anxious she was. He suddenly hugged her and said, “Let me lean on you for a while. It hurts to stand.”
Felicity wanted to push him away but changed her mind after hearing what he said. She stood there obediently without resisting. She even placed her hand around his waist and asked, “Is it hurting here?”
Vermont closed his eyes and savored the scent of her hair.” Mmm,” he murmured.
Felicity felt tickled by his breath, and she could not help but squirm her shoulder a little. Vermont thought she was trying to escape, so he held her tighter. Felicity’s entire face was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his heart’s steady and powerful thumping.
It sounded a little fast.
Suddenly, Vermont let go and gazed at her. Felicity pursed her lips and asked, “What’s wrong?”
