Chapter 1307
Felicity hesitated for a while before she said, “All your friends bought you such expensive gifts, and I just couldn’t bring myself to give you what I had prepared. That was why I took Stella’s gift and gave it to you.”
Vermont scoffed. “So, you came to the party for a free meal without giving me anything, huh?”
Felicity replied softly, “You received so many gifts that day, and my one gift wouldn’t make a difference. Why are you so bothered by this?”
“Of course, it makes a difference. How can a gift from you be the same as the gifts from others?”
Vermont paused before continuing, “Why did you come to my birthday party that day? We haven’t known each other at that time, right?”
“Because Doctor Steven wanted to go.” Felicity adjusted her dress as she spoke. “I wanted to get close to Doctor Steven, so I told him you had invited me too. I didn’t expect you to come out of nowhere and keep questioning me. I was afraid that you’d expose my lie, so I held onto you to hide my face from you.”
Vermont was speechless. It was supposed to be something to be happy about, but he felt bitter after knowing that Felicity only attended his birthday party for another man.
Suddenly, Vermont remembered how panicked Felicity
looked when Corbin came knocking on the door the next morning. She seemed extremely afraid that Corbin would know that she had spent the night with him.
That realization made Vermont feel very unpleasant.
“Do you really like Corbin this much?”
Vermont suddenly asked.
Felicity was taken aback. It took her a while to respond, “I used to, but not anymore, I guess. I always feel like Doctor Steven is a very difficult person to understand. He’s just… not as genuine as you.”
Vermont paused. “How am I genuine?”
“Well, I can see you and touch you. Although you can be very flirty and have many exes, you’re actually a good person.”
Vermont kept quiet.
‘Is that a compliment?’ he wondered to himself.
Vermont gestured to Felicity to come over. “Come here.”
