Chapter 1679


    Chapter 1679


    Vermont barely had a chance to ponder how Felicity had discovered his secret. His brain was already


    working at full speed, as he attempted to minimize his wrongdoing. He admitted, “…Yes, but the burn


    was not as severe as I made it out to be.”


    Felicity red at him. “Are you trying to deceive me again?”


    “I’m not,” said Vermont, and histone softened. “It did hurt at the time, and I didn’t expect you to be so


    concerned. I was just trying to tease you.”


    “Tease me?” Felicity’s face darkened. “Am I a fool to you? Do you find it amusing to string me along?”


    “No, that’s not what I meant.” Vermont tried to get up.


    But Felicity promptly pushed him back down and warned,” Don’t you dare get up, or I’ll knock you out!”


    Vermontplied andid back down. “Felicity, when did you start liking me?” he asked in a soft voice.


    Felicity’s ears burned, as she angrily responded, “I don’t like you, you liar. If I had known that you were


    faking your illness to deceive me, I would’ve never gotten involved with a deceitful scoundrel like you.”


    Vermontughed bitterly and said, “But, I’ve liked you for quite some time.”


    Felicity was not convinced. Every memory of Vermont’s months-long deception, which disrupted her


    sleep, fueled her anger. “Don’t y the emotion card with me!”


    “I’m not.” Vermont looked at her and continued, “At first, I was fond of your cooking. Over time, I took


    pleasure in our interactions. It was filled with teasing andughter. I didn’t realize that I liked you back


    then because you didn’t fit my type on paper. Your loud voice, strong personality, asional short


    temper, less-than-perfect appearance, and shorter legs were not in line with my ideal type.’Books

    Felicity’s face turned red, and she immediately wanted to smother Vermont with a cushion.


    “Remember when you liked Corbin? I told myself that there was no way I would care about a girl who


    hadn’t fully matured and carried feelings for another man when I was so young, good-looking, and


    sessful in my career. But then, reality hit me, and I learned that I did care. I cared when you always


    talked about Corbin when we were together. I cared when you asked about Corbin’s preferences. I


    cared when you spoke sweetly to him in front of me. So, I kissed you under the influence of alcohol.”


    Felicity was momentarily stunned. She recalled Vermont kissing her in the private room while Corbin


    watched, and she had given him a shoulder throw.


    “But you didn’t like it. Even a slight touch from me irritated you,” said Vermont.

    “Well, duh!” Felicity red at him and said, “You kissed me by force. That’s harassment! I could have


    called the cops on you!”


    Vermont did not dare to argue. “You didn’t like me, so you thought that me kissing you was a prank.


    You never considered anything romantic between us when it happened. IV


    Felicity wanted to dispute his im, but upon careful consideration, she realized she had never thought


    that she would end up with Vermont before that incident.


    One reason for that was she assumed she could not handle an experienced lover like Vermont. She


    also found Vermont too talkative, gossipy, and immature, which were not traits she wanted in a partner.


    Hence, Felicity did not see Vermont as an option back then.


    “I’m someone who does what I can to the best of my ability to get something I want. Since you didn’t


    like me, I created opportunities to make you like me. Even though pretending to be sick for sympathy is


    despicable, I don’t regret it.” Vermont paused and looked Felicity in the eyes. “Miss Bandit, I didn’t trick


    you into liking me or falling for me. I just gave us more time together, so you could get to know me.”
