Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 1829

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.”

Felicity’s eyes sparkled, “Tell me more. I want to get thinner, too!”

“Actually, everyone in my family has this bug in our bodies that makes us skinny.

This bug usually spreads through bodily fluids. For example, if you kiss me, you can lose a pound or two in a week. If you go a bit further, you can lose at least four or five pounds a week. The deeper the interaction, the faster the weight loss,” Vermont teased.

Felicity was speechless.

“What if I bite off a piece of your flesh? Then I will have the bug too and lose ten pounds in a week!” she sneered.

Vermont hesitated, ‘ Baby, this is supposed to be romantic. Don’t make it sound so terrifying.”

Felicity slapped away his hand, her face dark, “How many girls have you fooled with those words?”

Vermont sighed and chuckled, “You’re the first. I just want to make you happy.”

It was the truth. Vermont did not talk much in his previous relationships. His ex girlfriends were usually the ones who coaxed and spoiled him. He was attracted to their good looks and physique, while they were attracted to his money.

If any wanted Vermont to coax them, he would break up with them.

Looking back, he acknowledged that his behavior was a bit questionable. But, he was not fully invested in those relationships then.

But it was different with Felicity. Vermont was happy to indulge her, make her happy, and say things that amuse her.

Felicity snorted. It was unclear if she believed him.

Keegan returned not long after leaving, accompanied by Aurora. His face was a bit flushed, probably from drinking too much. Aurora and Jaylene sat together with him in between them, chatting happily. This made Felicity increasingly uneasy.

Jaylene was not a good person, and Aurora was not much better. The two seemed to get along well, chatting and laughing.

Felicity was even more uncomfortable witnessing this.

After the engagement ceremony, the bride and groom had a toast with the guests.
