Seeing that Vermont was about to pounce on her, Felicity immediately dodged his playful advance.
Jaylene watched the duo leave with a stern face, her fingers gradually clenching into a fist.
Once they were out of earshot, Felicity nudged Vermont,” Hey, did you notice anything odd about Keegan?”
Vermont pondered for a moment and nodded, “Yeah, something does seem off.”
Felicity’s eyes lit up, “What’s off?”
“His looks are off the charts.”
Felicity gritted her teeth and poked Vermont’s waist, “You stinky cucumber! I’m being serious. Can’t you go a day without being so cheeky?”
“Ouch. That hurts,” Vermont grabbed her hand and rubbed his waist. “I was just kidding around. There’s no need for violence.”
Felicity glared at him.
Vermont put up his hands in surrender and said, “Whether or not he’s acting strange, let’s just pretend we didn’t see anything.”
Felicity widened her eyes, “You—”
Vermont covered her mouth and grinned, “Let’s eat, baby.
I’m starving.”
“All you do is eat. Why aren’t you gaining weight with all the food you consume?”
“Well, there’s a secret passed down in our family.”
Felicity looked skeptical, “A secret?”
“Yeah. It’s rare to come across naturally slender individuals. Given my eating habits and limited physical activity, I have to implement certain tactics to sustain this incredible physique.”
