Chapter 1147


    Chapter 1147


    Felicity was embarrassed about Richie tearing up Vermont’s clothes. “I think he likes you. I’ve never


    seen him so excited to see anyone before,” she said, trying to repair the damage.


    Just as she said that, they heard Richie tearing another piece of clothing, and Vermont was utterly


    speechless.


    Felicity’s grandmother was a kind little olddy. After she saw how miserable Vermont looked, she


    immediately said,” Felicity, go and grab a set of your father’s old clothes for your friend to change into.


    You can bring him to buy new clothes in the morning.”


    “Alright,” Felicity said and immediately ran upstairs to get the clothes.


    Vermont was dirty and covered in thorns. He was too embarrassed to sit down on the couch, so he


    stood obediently in the living room. Although he was in a mess, his silver tongue remained unchanged.


    “Hi, Grandma,” he said.


    The olddy smiled and said, “When Felicity said she was bringing a friend home for the holidays, I


    didn’t expect it to be a young man.”


    Vermont paused when he heard that. “She told you I was her friend?”


    The olddy was taken aback by the question. “Aren’t you?”


    “No, yeah. I am,” said Vermont with a smile.


    The olddy was skeptical after he said that. ‘What’s with his tone? Could it be that he’s her boyfriend?’


    The woman’s gaze changed immediately. She eyed Vermont from top to bottom and thought, ‘This tall


    young man is rather polite. His looks are… too dirty to tell right now. But he doesn’t seem very smart


    since he was chased around by Richie.’


    “What’s your name, young man?”


    “My name is Vermont Snyder. You can call me Vermont.”


    While Felicity was getting the clothes, Vermont was downstairs talking with her grandmother. It was like


    they were best friends. When the olddy saw Felicitying, she asked her to take Vermont to the


    bathroom and went out to call Florence.


    The town was a tight-knitmunity; everyone in the neighborhood knew each other well. Florence


    was addicted to poker and dancing. When she was not busy at work, she would go to one of her


    friend’s houses to dance and y. She would usuallye home around 2:00 a.m.


    Felicity’s grandmother would normally let her be, but things were different today. ‘I have to call her to


    come home and meet Felicity’s boyfriend,’ she thought.

    Felicity’s childhood home did not only look good on the outside but, it also looked magnificent on the


    inside. The tiles and beams outside looked like modern art, while the decoration in the house had a mix


    of antique and rustic styles.


    Vermont no longer believed Felicity when she said she came from a low-ie family. ‘They’re rather


    well off,’ he thought. Still, he was happy that he had the chance to meet her family.


    “Is no one else home other than your grandma?” Vermont asked as he followed her around.


    “Yeah. My aunt and uncle don’t live in this area. It’s just my mom and my grandma.”


    “What about your dad?”


    Felicity turned on the lights and said, “My parents got divorced when I was eight. So, my mom raised


    me on her own.”


    Vermont did not know what to say. When Felicity’s grandmother told her to grab her father’s old


    clothes, Vermont did not realize that it was because they were divorced. He simply thought that he was


    working outstation.


    “I’m sorry,” he said in a low voice.


    “What’s there to be sorry about? It’s not like he’s dead.”


    Once again, Vermont did not know how to respond to that.
