Felicity got shy. She texted: [I opened the parcel and saw it. It’s a little too revealing. How can I wear it?] Stella replied: [Just do it. Tell Vermont that it’s a cosplay outfit and ask if it looks good on you.] Felicity froze.
Stella was about to type something more, but Vermont called her. She answered the phone and heard him asking, “Did miss bandit tell you that herself?”
She replied, “Of course. Otherwise, how could I suggest you have a baby with her first? Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to meet her parent?
Felicity had already mentioned it to Florence before, and that was when Florence came up with the condition.
“Felicity was afraid that directly telling you would hurt your pride as a man, so she was still finding the best way to bring it up to you.”
Vermont rubbed his temples. “Is Mrs. Thompson not afraid of me taking advantage of Felicity?”
Stella said, “She’s way richer than you. For her, a son-in-law is nothing more than a toy to please her daughter. If the toy misbehaves, she can just replace it.
How could a toy possibly take advantage of its owner? There’ll always be a better toy.”
Vermont gritted his teeth. “Shut up if you don’t know how to use analogies!”
He paused momentarily before saying, “Do you have miss bandit’s mother’s number?”
Stella quickly forwarded Florence’s number to Vermont upon hearing that.
When she was still studying with Felicity, Florence had once visited their dorm and brought them a lot of fruit. Stella had a great chat with her at that time, so they exchanged numbers. However, Stella had never called her.
Vermont saved the number and added the remark “mother-in-law.”
Stella then said in a very gentle tone, “Mr. Snyder, I’ve told you everything I know. About the favor I mentioned, could you…”
