Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1380 [Eleven Jewell]

Vermont chuckled softly. “It’s called working smart. Keegan is happy to investigate Hylda and so is your best friend. Everyone is happy, so technically, I wasn’t lying.”

Felicity snorted. “You’re just a cunning man with twisted logic!”

Vermont handed her the disposable utensils and said, “Here, you’ve been busy all night. Eat something to fill your stomach. I specifically bought this for you, and I can’t eat it anyway. It won’t taste good when it gets cold, and I’ll even have to throw it away.”

Felicity initially wanted to reject him with dignity, but the crispy pork belly was simply too tempting.

So, she “reluctantly” said, “Give me a heads up when you buy things like this next time. It’d be a waste if I don’t eat them.”

Vermont replied with a smile, “Sure.”

Felicity took the utensils, and her fingers unintentionally brushed against Vermont’s. He instinctively pulled his hand back, causing the utensils to fall on the floor.

Felicity paused.

Vermont made quite a big movement as if he had been poked by a needle.

He seemed somewhat frustrated, as he picked up the utensils from the ground and threw them away. Then, he handed her a new set of unopened utensils before he softly said, “Open it yourself.”

Then, he placed it on the table, instead of putting it in her hand like before.

Felicity felt strange at first but did not pay much attention to it.

However, it did not take her very long to realize that Vermont was purposely avoiding physical contact with her.

When they finished eating and clearing the table, she stood up to help, but her hair accidentally touched Vermont’s arm. When she lifted her head, he quickly moved away.

When he offered her a bottle of water, he did not open it for her. Instead, he placed it on the coffee table and asked her to get it herself.

Felicity gradually realized that Vermont was deliberately keeping his distance from her.
