Felicity hesitated before finally voicing her concern, “But what if Keegan falls for Jaylene during this time?”
Her question amused Vermont. He answered, “Baby, Jaylene and Keegan go way back. They’re childhood friends. If Keegan had feelings for her, he wouldn’t have gotten together with Stella. I will personally show Jaylene the way out if Keegan ever betrays your best friend.”
Vermont’s response left Felicity surprised. He certainly had a way with words.
Despite Felicity’s initial resentment, she somewhat agreed with Vermont after his persuasive spiel. Finally, she pressed her lips together and said after a while, “If you don’t follow through—”
“I’ll never be able to have children,” Vermont interjected, completing the latter half of her sentence.
Felicity’s anger toward him dissipated.
Vermont took her hand and said, “Let’s go. It’s time to see why Keegan is hanging out with Jaylene.”
Jaylene handed Keegan a glass of wine, “Keegan, try this. It’s a special selection from a winery abroad. It tastes exceptionally good.”
Keegan took the glass and gently swirled it around. The sweet fragrance of the red wine wafted out gradually.”
Smells good,” he complimented.
Holding her wine glass, Jaylene smiled and clinked it against his, “Give it a taste.”
