Hylda nced inside the house and saw Xenia pouring a ss of water. She retracted her gaze and
lowered her voice, “We probably shouldn’t discuss Rainee’s car ident here, right?”
Albert froze when he heard that. “What kind of nonsense are you spewing?” He asked angrily.
Hylda’s face grew cold as she said, “I’ll be waiting for you in the car downstairs. Whether you decide to
join me is entirely up to you.” With that, she turned and left.
Albert remained in a state of uncertainty. ‘Is this woman losing her sanity? Did she truly believe she
could use this matter to ckmail me? Does she not realize that she was an aplice?’ He thought.
His expression changed several times before he picked up his coat and turned to Xenia. “I need to step
out for a moment.”
Xenia quickly approached him and said, “But didn’t you say we would have dinner together? Why are
you leaving now that she showed up?”
‘TH just have a brief conversation with her and return shortly. ” Albert patted her hand and said.
“What do you two have to talk about? Why can’t you just talk in here?”
“It’s about thepany. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”
Though Xenia was not pleased, she did not press the matter. Instead, she helped him slip into his coat
and saw him off.
In Apartment 902 at Clouditude International, Felicity emerged from the bedroom wearing a pink red
dress. She twirled around in front of Vermont and asked, “What do you think of this?”
Vermont rubbed his chin thoughtfully and shook his head once again, “It looks a little too… cutesy.”
Felicity’s face darkened. ‘This is the eighth outfit I’ve put on, and you’ve rejected every single one. Do I
really look that bad in everything?”
Vermontughed and said, “Everything looks lovely on you in my eyes. It’s just that the choices might
not be the best fit for the asion.”
“But these are the only clothes I have,” Felicity grumbled. “I can’t simply buy a new outfit just for a
birthday party, can I? If it were Ste’s birthday, I’d do it without a doubt. But I’m not going to do the
same for that wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Vermont was caught off guard. “Did you just refer to Jaylene as a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
Felicity nodded. “Don’t you think she appears innocent on the outside but is actually deceitful and
maniptive underneath? She tried to steal Ste’s limelight during ourst event. Like, Ste literally
saved her. Who would do that
to the person who saved them?”
Vermont was both amused and exasperated. “Do you have toe up with a name for everyone you
encounter?”
“I’m just capturing their essence. It makes it easier for me toe up with personalities for my fictional
characters,” Felicity replied earnestly.
Vermont squinted slightly and said, “Okay, so what’s the essence of the nickname—Stinky Cucumber?”
“It carries the meaning of…” Felicity paused, then cast a nce toward his lower half. “…
Restlessness,” she continued, referring to the time when Vermont was still a yboy.
Vermont was a little lost for words. Having said that, he did not mind ying along with Felicity. “Welp,
it’s well-behaved now. Forever.”
Vermont’s words rendered Felicity speechless. ‘God, I shouldn’t have made thatment,’ she
thought.
Then, she chuckled, “I had someone read your fortune yesterday. They said you’d have many children
and grandchildren. The current situation of your stinky cucumber is only temporary.”
Vermont nced at her and said, “I guess I’d have to thank you in advance.”
Felicity did not understand the meaning behind his appreciation. “For what? For taking care of you
these past few months? I think you should thank your future wife.”
Vermontughed and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly asked, “By the way, what did you get me
for my birthday again?”
Felicity’s gaze wandered as she said, “I think it was a mug.”
“No. Keegan gave me the mug,” Vermont said with no emotion.
“Then, I must have remembered wrong.” Felicity pretended to think about it and said, “It was a watch.”
Vermont remained expressionless. “No. The watch was from Marshall.”
“Then…”
