“You’re really testing my patience,” Felicity grumbled, tugging at Vermont’s hair.
“Why does drama always follow you in your love life?!”
Vermont let out a sigh. “Who could have guessed they’d pull off such a stunt at their own engagement party? They’re just crazy.”
Giving him a sharp look, Felicity said, “Would they have done it if you weren’t involved with the bride-to-be?”
Her question left Vermont speechless for a moment. Finally, he responded, “Is it my fault for being too charming?”
“You’re shameless!”
With a chuckle, Vermont bent his head and lightly nudged her face with his chin.
“Sweetheart, I didn’t expect you to have so much trust in me. I was worried you’d believe those troublemakers and leave me.”
Felicity shot him a disdainful look. “That was your first love. Do you think it’s appropriate to call her a scoundrel?”
“First love my foot,” Vermont gritted his teeth at the memory. “We dated for a semester in high school. She ran off with someone else when I interned at the company during summer vacation. I didn’t know she was the bride-to- be until I arrived at the party. Those two sure are something.”
“Why did she even do that?” Felicity asked.
Vermont opened the car door for Felicity and went to the driver’s seat.
He picked up his phone and glanced at what his assistant had sent. “The groom-to-be must have played a part in in. That scumbag hooked up with a model I used to date.”
It turns out the one Xander in love with was actually another Vermont’s exes.
She used to be an artist in Felicity’s former company.
