Chapter 1731
Felicity and Stella were left speechless by Garrett’s assumption.
Vermont felt embarrassed. “Enough with the jokes. She’s just a friend.”
Drawing Felicity closer, he clarified, “And this is my girlfriend. The one here for a check-up is her best friend.”
Felicity shoved him away, saying, “I’m not your girlfriend! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Garrett felt surprised that Vermont had a girlfriend. But as a doctor, he focused on the main thing. “Everything’s ready. Dr. Lyle will guide you today.”
Stella nodded thankfully and left the room with the doctor. Worried about Stella, Felicity went along.
After they left, Garrett turned to Vermont and asked, “When did you get a girlfriend? Why didn’t Mom and Dad tell me? They even wanted me to introduce you to my colleague some time ago.”
Vermont leaned against the windowsill, saying casually, “If I told them, they’d dig deep into her family’s history. It’d seem like a political background check.”
Garrett chuckled. “You’re their top kid. They’d want someone from a similar background for you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
Vermont scoffed, “Why bother with kids when they don’t
care about their own? Funny.”
Garrett didn’t delve further into the topic. Despite not being particularly close, they had shared similar experiences.
At least Vermont got to grow up in the countryside and was loved by their grandfather.
The difference between having parents around during childhood and not was big. It was considered fortunate that those with absent parents still managed to develop into well- adjusted adults.
