Chapter 1314
Felicity scoffed. “Fine, I’ll listen to you this time.”
After looking at her obedient demeanor, Vermont could not help but lean in to give her a peck on the cheek.
Felicity was startled. She was about to cover her face, but Vermont grabbed her hand. “My childhood friends are looking at us from over there. Don’t overreact, or we’re going to raise suspicion.”
She reluctantly withdrew her hand from her face and glared at him, “Can you at least give me a heads-up next time if you’re going to do that? You scared me!”
Naturally, Vermont interpreted that as Felicity was okay with him kissing her.
So, he responded swiftly, “Sure.”
Felicity stopped dwelling on it after seeing how sincere he was. However, she felt a burning sensation on her cheek where Vermont kissed her, which was odd.
As for the birthday girl, Jaylene was still very popular among the guests.
As soon as Keegan and Trevor arrived, the other gentlemen pulled them over for a chat. Stella stood in place, wondering if she would disturb Felicity’s dating time with Vermont if she were to follow her. Then, Jaylene approached her.
She grabbed Stella’s hand and said in a gentle tone, “Stella, let me introduce some friends to you.”
Stella wanted to reject her as she had no interest in knowing Aurora’s friends.
However, it was her birthday. She thought that it would be inappropriate to turn her down. So, she followed Jaylene anyway.
Jaylene’s friends frowned as soon as they saw her coming over with Stella.
“Jaylene, why did you bring her here?”
Jaylene paused. “Do you guys know her?”
One of them sneered. “Of course, she’s Mrs. Kane-Ah, I mean Ms. Jewell. Ms. Jewell is very popular in the industry.
Aurora’s ex-sister-in-law, right? We’ve met a few times.”
