‘Well, I’m not expecting her to be mad, but… why is this so different from what I imagined?’ Keegan thought to himself.
Keegan had a thousand questions in his head, as he suggested, “How about Vermont’s place? He said his cat can do backflips.”
Stella did not speak for a while.
“Sure. I think the baby would want to see that too.”
Keegan was speechless.
The driver quickly turned the car around and headed to Clouditude International.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Vermont opened the door and saw the two empty-handed visitors. “Tsk,” he clicked his tongue.
Felicity shouted from inside, “Is our money tree here?”
Vermont tilted his head and said, “Yeah, but these two trees are withered. They came empty-handed.”
His response left both Stella and Keegan utterly speechless.
Felicity quickly ran to the door and asked, “Stella?”
She pushed Vermont away and said, “Why are you still standing here? Go make some tea.”
Vermont looked at Keegan angrily, as he thought to himself,1 Why do you have to disturb me and my girlfriend on this wonderful day?’ “What brought you two here at this hour?”
After sitting down, Felicity asked them.
Stella slowly said, “Keegan said that your cat can do backflips, so I thought that the baby would want to see it.”
Keegan choked on his saliva, and Felicity was taken aback.
“I’ll ask the cat to do it for the baby then, I guess.”
Then, Felicity said to the cat, “Sewyn, come on, do a flip!”
Sewyn swept its gaze across these boring humans, rolled over, curled up, and continued sleeping.
