“I can certainly do that, but…” Vermont paused as he looked at Felicity before continuing, “Would you want that? Would you want me to make your work famous using money?”
“Of course not.” Felicity pouted and muttered, “My mom is going to mock me for the rest of my life if you do that.”
She had once proclaimed that she would become one of the most successful screenwriters ever. If she were to resort to buying success with money, it would not be any different from cheating.
She wanted to earn her reputation and stand on that award podium based on her own capabilities.
Vermont chuckled and placed his arm around her neck, “I know you very well. If I were to buy your script and make it famous, you’d probably break up with me straight away.”
“We’ve already broken up a long time ago, okay?” Felicity retorted as she forcefully slapped the back of Vermont’s hand. “Stop pressing down on me like this! You’re the reason I got shorter!”
“Really?” Vermont leaned into her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe as he whispered, “I only pressed down with one arm. What if I press my whole body on you? Wouldn’t you be even shorter?”
Felicity could not understand what he was talking about,” Are you sick or dying? Why would you press your whole body
on me? I know I’m very strong, but do you think I’m strong enough to carry you to the hospital?”
Vermont paused and then chuckled softly. His gaze looked gentle as he murmured, “Why would I want you to carry me to the hospital? Can’t I press my body against yours face-to- face?”
‘Face-to-face? How…’
Felicity froze and immediately realized what he meant. Then, her entire face turned extremely red.
Vermont could not hold himself back from teasing her more. He continued suggestively, “Back-to-back is fine too, but you don’t have to carry me. I’d be too heavy for you. You just need to lie down—Ugh—”
Before he could finish this sentence, Felicity stuffed his mouth with the apple Garrett had given her earlier.
“What a shameless man you are!” Felicity’s cheeks were red as she bit her lips and said annoyedly, “Can’t you just come up with something decent for once?”
Felicity was just moved by what he said earlier, but then he turned around and acted flirtatiously toward her!
Vermont took a bite of the apple before taking it out of his mouth, “Baby, I just want you to understand what kind of creature men are. When a man faces a woman he likes, he will have desires for that woman. It’s just that some men can restrain themselves, and some can’t. Even if we can’t be together in the end, you’ve got to be very cautious when dealing with other men. Not everyone is as gentlemanly as me.”
Vermont restrained himself when he was presented with the perfect opportunity.
Felicity rubbed her flushed ears and said with her teeth clenched, “Gentlemanly, my foot! You’re the most shameless person I know!”
Vermont sighed inwardly, ‘If I’m really shameless, I’d tricked her into sleeping with me long ago.’
Felicity ignored him and walked away. She massaged her pounding heart, feeling embarrassed inside.
“Wait for me.”
Vermont caught up to her and put the apple near her mouth,” Try it; it’s very sweet. I’ve peeled the skin for you.”
Felicity paused, feeling like something was not right, “How did you peel it?” she asked softly.
Vermont smiled, revealing his white teeth, “With my teeth.”
Felicity punched him right on the head!
‘Why is Stella attracted to a domineering CEO like Keegan while I fell for a stupid thing like this?! Ahh!
‘I’ve got to think about getting back together with him thoroughly. I’ve got to at least be with someone with a functional brain, right?’
Meanwhile, Aldor looked in the rearview mirror, glancing at Keegan and then at Stella.
Both of them were sitting in the back, one leaning against the left window and the other against the right, as if they wished they were ten thousand miles apart. It reminded Aldor of when they would argue before the divorce.
‘Are they going to begin a new relationship with each other? Mr. Kane spent half a year trying to win Mrs. Kane’s heart previously. How long will it take this time?’ Aldor wondered to himself.
As he thought about why they came to the hospital in the first place, he cleared his throat and asked, “Mrs. Kane, are you pregnant?”
Stella responded with a soft “mhmm” as if she was uninterested in continuing the conversation.
Keegan, who was scrolling through his phone, paused. Then, he lifted his gaze and said to Aldor, “Don’t tell anyone about her pregnancy.”
