Felicity was simply lying.
All the boys she liked during her school days ended up being her buddies, and she even introduced a girl to one of them. Last year, she attended their wedding where she spent a thousand dollars on the wedding gift forthem.
As for the others, they either got snatched by some other girls or realized that their ***ual orientation was gay as they grew older. Otherwise, a good catch like her would not have stayed single until now.
“There’s no one, right?” Vermont grew smug after seeing her silence. “You were just making something up to tease me, right?”
Felicity could not stand the prideful look on his face!
So, she stiffened her neck and said, “Of course, there is! Not only that he was my first love, but we also grew up together! We used to spend so much time together when we were younger, and he would take me everywhere. He was handsome, had a good temper, and was very good at cheering me up.”
Initially, she only said that to mess with Vermont. But, once she talked about it, she recalled many things even though she could not really remember what that boy looked like. “Back then, I was very chubby and rough. When I played with the other kids, I would accidentally hurt them. They would cry, call me an ogre, and say I’d never find a husband when I grew up. I was really sad, but he would help me deal with those naughty kids. He’d tell me that I’m very cute and if no one wants to marry me when I grow up, he would.”
Vermont could not stop laughing. “Did you really believe him? Is that how he cheers you up?!”
Felicity glowered at him. “Do you think everyone is a liar like you?”
Vermont said, “Well, why didn’t he marry you, then?”
Felicity pouted. “That’s because his parents earned a lot of money, and they moved to the city.”
“Oh… I get it now.” Vermont was teasing her. “So, the poor boy turned into a rich kid and abandoned his childhood sweetheart, huh?”
