“Oh.” Vermont gazed at Stella again, thinking that she looked somewhat familiar. He frowned while looking at her, and something suddenly popped into his head. “Hey, are you—*
Corbin’s voice came from behind before he could finish his sentence. “Can we sit here?’
Vermont turned around and saw Corbin and Felicity standing behind him.
Felicity had makeup on, and she was wearing a beautiful little dress. Her eyes were big, and she looked very lively and ladylike compared to how boyish she would usually be.
Vermont was a little surprised. However, his expression became stiff and cold when he saw her holding Corbin’s arm.
He looked at Corbin before shifting his gaze to Felicity. “Why are you here? You know Duncan?’
Obviously, Felicity was not a friend of Duncan, but the bride. She used to be a rather close friend with the bride during high school. She was there because she received a wedding invitation from her. The reason she came with Corbin was because she bumped into him downstairs.
Felicity looked at him. “Why can’t I be here, but you can?”
Felicity did not know why, but she would feel somewhat annoyed every time she saw Vermont these days.
He did nothing wrong, yet seeing his face alone would annoy her.
She was kind of happy when she bumped into Corbin downstairs, but all her happiness vanished as soon as she saw him.
Vermont frowned. ’You don’t even know him. Did you come for the free food?”
Felicity immediately got upset. “Free food? I brought a gift, okay? Who told you I know neither of them? Do I have to tell you about every person I know? How ridiculous is that?!’
She grabbed Corbin’s arm after saying that. “Let’s sit at that table over there.”
Corbin then said, “That table is for the bride’s friends. Let’s just sit here. It’ll be awkward for us to sit around people we don’t know.”
Felicity pouted and murmured, “It’s not like sitting with people we know is any better. I doubt I’ll have any appetite if I look at him.”
Vermont was speechless.
Corbin smiled and replied, “That’s just how Vermont is. He was just joking with you.”
Felicity stopped talking. Then, she took a seat with Corbin beside Carter and his wife. Vermont was sitting beside Corbin, who happened to block his view of Felicity.
Vermont was both upset and confused.
Felicity had been ignoring him lately, and he was not too stupid to tell.
He agreed to help her if she would just cook for him, but she suddenly told him that she did not need his help anymore the day after because she still had work to do and could not quit yet. She said that she would talk to him about it again.
However, two weeks had passed since then, and he began to feel that Felicity was not as friendly toward him as before anymore.
Previously, she would play games with him at night. But now, when he asked her to go online, she would always say that she was busy.
Vermont just could not figure out what she could possibly be doing as someone who was always at home.
He knew he was not overthinking because Felicity would also always avoid him when he left for work and came home. That was an undeniable fact.
Even if they met in the elevator, she would only greet him and leave before he could say anything as if Vermont was a ghost.
That made Vermont very unhappy.
This feeling of unhappiness had been bothering him for some time. However, it peaked when he saw her appearing with Corbin all dressed up.
She had never put the effort into looking so good with him, so he could not help but wonder, ‘Am I not worthy enough to see her like this?’
Vermont was upset, so he decided not to speak with her anymore.
And obviously, he had forgotten what he wanted to say.
Stella felt relief as neither of them recognized her. She felt a lot more confident.
She lifted her glass and took a sip. Then, she heard a familiar voice from behind. “Sorry, am I still on time?’
Stella was then speechless.
