"Well, we can't just stand by and watch as Jaylene tries to put herself between our best friends, can we? Sure, Keegan loves Stella and wouldn't fall for her, but why should we give that annoying little thing a chance to try? I have to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble.
It would be best to teach her a little lesson and let her know she can't just come into other people's territory!" Vermont's heart turned cold when he heard that.
Though he and Felicity were in a relationship, it seemed she did not care much for her boyfriend compared to her best friend.
‘My ex- girlfriends were always very protective of me.
Although I'm not one to cheat, plenty of women are interested in me because I'm so attractive.’ Vermont's exes loved to pick a fight with him whenever he was friendly with a member of the opposite SeX.
"It seems like I've chosen poorly this time.
Felicity is completely indifferent to women who approach me.
She would even be kind enough to step aside...' Vermont gradually realized that he had pressured Felicity into confessing her feelings.
She might not like him as much as he thought.
‘If she actually likes me, she would be jealous.' The more Vermont pondered about it, the more he felt it was true.
His expression grew tense.
Unaware of Vermont's thoughts, Felicity noticed Jaylene being praised and admired by a group of socialites.
"She's probably just showing off again!" She snorted.
Felicity put her cup down and declared, "I need to go over there and see what they're talking about." But just as she stood up, Vermont grabbed her wrist.
Felicity was stunned.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
Vermont hesitated and said, "Miss bandit, do you...
Do you like me?" Taken aback, Felicity reached out to touch Vermont's forehead.
