Chapter 2098

Stella could not help but wonder, ‘Vermont is such a nosy person. How could he manage not to immediately spread out suchearth-shattering gossip upon hearing it? He actually guessed right away that it was a set-up. How exactly does his mind work?"

At this point, Stella had no other choice but to resort to her ultimate move!novelbin

[Vermont, you know best about my relationship with Felicity. Do you remember when you just got together with her, | was the firstto oppose it?]

Vermont replied: [You still have the nerve to bring it up now!]

Stella texted: [You had so many ex-girlfriends, and none of your relationships with them lasted long. | only did that because | wasafraid that you were only fooling around with Felicity. | didn't want her to get hurt.]

Vermont did not retort. Clearly, he thought what Stella said made sense.

She continued: [After we got to know each other better, | realized that you genuinely liked her. | didn't stop you two from dating,did I? When you were pretending to be impotent and lied to her, was it not me who got a doctor to help you?

[I even had Keegan test the remedy for you. If | didn't trust you this much, would | ever bother to help you?]

Vermont sneered inwardly. He thought, 'You were just being a busybody and didn’t want to miss out on the gossip, so you werebeing "kind-hearted. ' Besides, your remedy didn't help me at all. | had a nosebleed for several days because of it!"

However, when he realized that Stella got Keegan to try it out before recommending it to him, he felt a lot better.Then, he pursed his lips and replied: [Stop playing this mind game with me. What did you mean by my mother-in-law?]

[Florence knew about your "condition" and thought you were really impotent. So, she told Felicity that if she wanted to marry you,she must get pregnant with your baby first. If you can't, then she won't approve of the relationship. She wants to find a man whocan give Felicity a bunch of babies.]

Vermont was caught off guard by Stella's text.

Suddenly, he felt like he was transported to a women-dominated world, where the standard of choosing a husband was basedsolely on his fertility.

[Did you make something up just because you need my help with something?]

Stella replied truthfully: [I swear, if I'm lying to you now, I'll never be able to earn a penny from now on!]Vermont just kept quiet. That was undoubtedly a very malicious curse for money-minded people like them.Suddenly, he thought about Felicity's recently strange behavior.

For example, the weather was not even warm yet, but she would wear shorts and a low-cut tank top while they played games inthe living room. He did not even dare to look at her, afraid of getting distracted.

However, when he told her to wear something thicker, she would say that the weather was hot. There was no way she couldpossibly feel hot in the house when the temperature was only seventy Fahrenheit.

Also, after taking a shower, Felicity began wearing nightgowns when all she used to wear was a set of pajamas. They weremade of silk, a material that did not match her usual style at all. Even her daily outfits changed from hoodies and sweatpants toall sorts of miniskirts. Some were so short they

barely covered her thighs.

Vermont wondered if she had recently watched some inappropriate fashion gurus' videos and that was why she was dressed sostrangely.

Now that he read Stella's text, he could not help but think, ‘Could she be... seducing me?’

Vermont's eyelid twitched abruptly.

He had gotten too used to this non-sexual relationship and failed to notice all those obvious hints.

He glanced at Felicity, who was scrolling through her phone next to him. Then, he stood up and said, "I need to use thebathroom."

"Okay," Felicity said. Then, she texted Stella: [Mission accomplished.]Stella paused and thought, ‘Oops, | guess | gave myself away."

Then, she replied: [Thanks, sweetheart.]

Felicity texted back: [Stella, my clothes have arrived.]

Stella was shocked as she said: [That's quick!]
