Chapter 1671


    Felicity was taken aback. She thought that Ste would eventually give up after searching for so long,


    but it turned out that she did not give up at all.


    Felicity thought that what happened was somewhat miraculous, so she immediately told Vermont about


    it as soon as she arrived home. “Let’s not talk about whether the handwriting and bloodstained clothes


    that Ste saw are real or not. But what are the odds that Trevor appeared at a time like this? It’s just


    too coincidental, don’t you think?”


    “Me?” Vermont took a bite of an apple and said, “I think Ste has a ridiculously good imagination for


    thinking that Keegan was hidden away by Jaylene. Don’t you think that Keegan would’ve at least given


    us a call if he’s fine? No matter how capable Jaylene is, she can’t possibly stop a living man from


    leaving, right?”


    Felicity propped up her cheek and frowned. “That’s true, but I’ve always felt that Jaylene isn’t a good


    person. She said that she was going out with a friend, but how did she end up in the hospital?”


    “Maybe she was called there for an emergency.”


    Felicity choked before she said in a dissatisfied tone, “Why are you always defending that pretentious


    witch?”

    “I’m not defending her. I just think that Ste is too sad and mentally strained, which leads her to


    imagine stuff like this.


    You’ve got to make her face the truth and not go crazy with her.”


    He handed Felicity the apple, as he spoke. “It’s really sweet. Taste it.”


    Felicity pushed it away disdainfully. “What do you mean by going crazy with her? I’m just fulfilling my


    promise by supporting her unconditionally! Even if everything is just her imagination, I’m still going to


    side with her.”


    “A woman of integrity. This is exactly what I love about you!” He leaned closer to Felicity, as he spoke.


    “Don’t just think about your best friend all the time. What about me?”


    “What do you need from me?” Felicity was annoyed.


    “After what happened to Keegan, my parents suddenly started arranging a lot of blind dates for me. I


    told them that I already have a girlfriend, so they said they’d like to meet you.” Vermont tapped her


    nose before he continued, ‘After we’re done with Keegan’s matter, would youe home with me to


    meet my mom and dad?”


    “M-M-Meet mom and dad?” Felicity stuttered.


    Vermont chuckled. “We’re not even married yet. Don’t you think it’s too soon to address them like that?”


    “Damn you!” Felicity’s face turned red. “We’ve only been dating for a short time.


    Is it really appropriate to meet them now?”


    “I just want them to stop arranging blind dates for me. Otherwise, they’ll always think that I’m simply


    making excuses.”


    “I…” Felicity scratched her head. “I’ll think about it.”


    Felicity had gained seven pounds ever since she started dating Vermont. Her face became quite round,


    and she just could not bring herself to meet his parents in her current state. Suddenly, she felt as


    though she had to start hitting the gym again…


    After Ste returned home, shey on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Her mind was filled with


    thoughts of the bloodstained coat and the handwriting on the sketchpad.


    Suddenly, she heard the sound of a notification on her phone, which snapped her out of her thoughts.


    She grabbed her phone and saw a message from an unknown number. [About what I said yesterday,


    have you made a decision yet?] Ste deleted that message nonchntly, thought for a moment, and


    dialed another number.


    In the Moore residence, Marshall had just finished his shower. He was going through his emails by his


    bed when he heard his phone ringing. He paused momentarily and saw that it was Ste calling.


    He answered the phone and said, “Hello, Ste.”


    “Mr. Moore, are you going to bed anytime soon?”


    “No, I’m still working.”


    “Oh.”


    Ste remained silent after that as if she did not know how to ask her question.


    Instead, Marshall took the initiative and asked, “Ste, is there something I can help you with?”


    “Yeah,” Ste replied softly.


    Marshall’s gaze turned gentle. “Go ahead. I’m listening.”


    Ste lowered her gaze and asked, “I want to learn skydiving. Can you teach me?”


    Marshall was taken aback. “How do you know I can skydive?
