Chapter 2103


    Vermont was surprised. "Do you have a death wish?" He asked.


    Felicity looked away and stammered, "You don''t have to hold yourself back. No one''s stopping you


    anyway."


    He reached out to pinch her cheek and said in a low voice, "It isn''t the right time yet."


    Felicity''s motivation for wanting to sleep with him was wrong; she was doing it to satisfy Florence''s


    pregnancy condition, which is why Vermont did not want to do it.


    He wanted it to be out of love and something they would enjoy.


    Felicity was speechless as she thought, ''We''re already in such a position. How can it still not be the


    right time?


    ''I spent so much effort finally getting things to this stage. What is he thinking?''


    She frowned and pushed him away. "If now isn''t the right time, then when is?"


    Vermont sat up. "After I deal with your mother."


    Felicity paused. "D-Did you find out about something?"


    Vermont hugged her and asked in a deep voice, "What something?"


    He figured that if Felicity did not want him to know about it, then he should pretend not to know. After


    all, he was somewhat amused by how she clumsily seduced him just now.


    He also realized that he should not have asked Felicity to appear on the call earlier. Florence was only


    targeting him, and getting Felicity involved would only create conflict between them, making the


    situation more difficult to deal with.


    Felicity''s suspicion disappeared as expected. She shook her head and said, "Nothing. What do you


    mean by dealing with my mother?"


    "If I want to marry you, don''t I have to get her approval first? I''ve been asking you to introduce me to


    her formally, but you never agreed. I figured she must not like me. Doesn''t that mean I have to make a


    good impression and prove myself to her?


    "Otherwise, how could she bear to allow her precious daughter to marry me?"


    Felicity was easy to appease; she immediately became happy upon hearing what Vermont said. Then,


    she hugged his arm and teased him, "Then you''re in for it. My mom is known for being difficult to deal


    with. Not only that she''s rich, but she''s also very strong-willed.


    "What if she doesn''t approve of our rtionship no matter what? What will you do?"


    Vermont chuckled. "Do you want to make a bet?"


    Felicity got excited. "About what?"


    "If your mom epts me, you''ll buy another costume like this one and wear it again for me. It has to be


    semi-transparent, too."


    Felicity''s ears flushed as she red at him. "And what if she doesn''t?"


    "If she doesn''t..." Vermont pondered for a moment, smirked, and yfully whispered in her ear, "Then


    I''ll just do whatever I want to you ande up with another nter."


    Felicity kicked him off the bed. "With what you''re capable of, it''s more like I''ll be the one doing whatever


    I want to you’"


    Vermont sat on the carpet, pretending to be in pain. After noticing that Felicity did not fall for his act, he


    stood up and leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek. "That''ll work too. I''ll cooperate and be gentle."

    Felicity then kicked the flirtatious man out of her room.


    However, she forgot to ask him why he video-called Florence after getting distracted by their


    conversation earlier.


    As Vermont left the bedroom, he called Marshall.


    Things did not go well between Marshall and Ste, and it made him feel down. He could not focus at


    work and even overlooked several errors in the documents.


    The intern said in a low voice, "Mr. Moore, I think you should drop this case. The deceased didn''t even


    dare to specify any real name in the note and only used initials. Those people are definitely not


    ordinary people.


    "There''s no solid evidence, and they still want you to help them. You''ve been awyer for so many


    years; I''m sure you know how difficult a case like this can be. You might even damage your reputation if


    anything goes wrong."


    Marshall remained silent as he repeatedly read the limited information he had. Indeed, the fact that he


    could not find out the identity of the person who died of falling in The Hox Club that night made the


    investigation even harder for him.


    After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to call Carter.


    But before he could dial the number, Vermont''s call came through." Marshall, I''ve made ns with


    Carter for a drink. Do you want to join us?"
