Chapter 2145


    Felicity frowned. ''Is Stinky Cucumber messing with me again?''


    She came out of Vermont''s bedroom and called out his name. However, there was no response, and


    he was nowhere to be seen in the house.


    She went to the study, pushed the door open, and heard the sound of something falling.


    She gazed downward and saw the study floor covered with dominoes. Her opening the door knocked


    down the first one, causing a chain effect that toppled the rest. When every domino fell, it revealed a


    huge portrait of herself on the floor.


    Felicity had never considered herself attractive, but her portrait on the floor had a bright smile, looking


    radiant and charming, with indescribably beautiful features.


    ''Is this how I look to him?'' she wondered.


    She blushed and thought of getting her phone out to take a picture of it. But before she could turn


    around, the lights in the study went out. Then, the area where her portrait was located was lit with


    fluorescent letters, forming two words that said Marry Me."


    Felicity was stunned. Her heart loudly pounded as if it were going to leave her body. Then, she felt a


    lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.


    She instinctively stepped back and bumped into a solid chest.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Vermont wrapped his arms around her waist, leaned closer to her, and whispered in her ear, "Miss


    bandit, I had so much to say to you. It took me two days to set this up. It was supposed to be more


    romantic, but then those two nuisances showed up and ruined my n."


    Felicity got so nervous that she felt tense all over. "What n?" she asked softly.


    Vermont chuckled. "My proposal."


    He then switched on the lights, knelt on one knee in front of Felicity, and said softly with a gentle look,


    "Being in a rtionship with you has brought me so much joy. However, I''m not someone who''s easily


    satisfied; I want an official recognition of our rtionship.


    "So, Ms. Thompson. Will you marry me?"


    "I-I-" Felicity stuttered. "I need to ask my mom where she keeps our family''s residency registration


    documents."


    Vermont, who was already nervous enough, could not help butugh upon hearing what Felicity said.


    Then, he grabbed her hand and asked softly, "So, is that a yes?"


    Felicity blushed as she said awkwardly, "I''ll say yes no matter when you propose to me. The problem


    isn''t with me but with my mom. I entered this rtionship with marriage in mind. I just didn''t expect it to


    happen so quickly."


    Vermont chuckled as he slid the ring on her finger. "I actually thought of you rejecting me before. I didn''t


    expect it to go so smoothly and that you''d say yes right away. Have you been wanting me for a long


    time?"


    "Nonsense!" Blushing, Felicity glowered at him. "You''re the one who is desperate to have me! You


    pretended to be impotent to get me to cook for you and made me your fake girlfriend. There''s nothing


    worse in this world than you!


    "I don''t have much experience in dating, and that was why you could fool me with your tricks. And now


    that I''ve agreed to marry you, you have the nerve to say that I''ve been wanting you for a long time? I''ll


    tell you what, I-


    Ugh—"


    Before she could finish speaking, Vermont suddenly stood up and pinned her against the wall, kissing


    her non-stop.


    Felicity froze for a moment. Then, she rxed her body, wrapped her arms around his neck, and


    reciprocated the kiss with her eyes closed.


    She then felt a slight chill on her ring finger and wanted to sneak a peek at her engagement ring.


    But when she opened her eyes, she did not see any diamond ring. Instead, it was an incredibly wide


    gold ring!


    She pushed Vermont away as fury exploded in her. She then raised her right hand and asked through


    gritted teeth, "What is this?"


    Vermont said, "Babe, are you okay? This is the engagement ring."


    As he tried to hug her again, Felicity''s expression turned dark. "Stay right there! Don''te near me!"


    Vermont had no choice but to stay put.


    She then said furiously, "Who proposes with a gold ring? Are you so stingy that you''re not even willing


    to buy me a diamond ring?"


    Vermont defended himself, "Darling, you don''t understand. Diamonds have depreciated significantly in


    recent years. People are stepping out of consumerism traps.


    "A diamond ring that was being sold for eighty thousand dors years ago is only worth a few thousand


    now. I can buy the stock with the highest risk in the market and still wouldn''t lose much money. But this


    gold ring will still be worth as much as it is now after decades, and-"
