Chapter 1319
Jaylene was stunned after hearing from Vermont that Keegan was not single.
Seeing that she pursed her lips, Vermont chose not to push the matter further. He did not know Jaylene well and
was not particularly close to Trevor either. Therefore, he could not accurately judge Jaylene's character. However,
he was aware that her feelings could cause complications for Keegan. Since Keegan found it hard to bring up the
subject, Vermont decided to offer Jaylene a subtle hint.
After the dance, Vermont left the floor to find Felicity.
Felicity was sitting in a corner, eating some lobster. When Vermont walked over, she glanced at him and decided
not to acknowledge him.

Felicity shot him a glare. "Don't call me baby! It's gross!"
Vermont chuckled and sat beside her. He put his arms over her shoulders and asked in a warm voice, "What's
wrong? Why are you in such a grumpy mood?"
"How does it feel to have your hands all over the wolfs waist?" Felicity asked.
'Is she referring to Jaylene?'thought Vermont. He pondered for a moment and said, "Not gonna lie, it feels kinda
good."
Felicity's eyes flared up. "You perv! And you said your lower half doesn't work!"
"It doesn't. That's why I have to touch someone to know if I'm attracted to them. I wouldn't have to do this with you
if otherwise," Vermont sighed.
Felicity was caught off guard. 'Is he saying that he's only pretending to be in a relationship with me because he can't
perform sexually? Am I not his first choice?" She thought.
Felicity could feel her chest tighten, making it hard to down the food in front of her. Her lips trembled as she looked
at him with tears in her eyes, "Do you think I want to be in this situation? I can't wait for you to get better so I don't
have to deal with you anymore!"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly so angry?" Vermont asked, all confused.
Annoyed, Felicity pushed his arm away and snapped, "It's none of your business!"
Vermont was at a loss for words. 'Did I say something wrong? Why is she mad?' He thought, not knowing how his
words sounded to Felicity.
Unlike Keegan, who would have kept guessing, Vermont decided to ask her directly, "Are you okay, miss bandit?"
"I'm fine!" Felicity huffed with frustration.

'Then why doesn't it sound like she's fine?'
Vermont gently held her hand and asked, "Did I say something that upset you?"
His tender voice made Felicity realize how irrational she was being. Vermont had not said anything wrong. 'It's true
that he wouldn't be in this condition if it weren't for me.
But... hearing him put it that way makes me feel uneasy.'
Slowly, Felicity realized that she might be feeling jealous. She did not want to see Vermont dancing with Jaylene or
hear him say that he had chosen her out of necessity.
'Am I... developing feelings for Vermont?' She thought. 'No. That's impossible!'
Felicity stood up, and her actions shook the table. Vermont was surprised. "Where are you going?" he asked.
Felicity gave him a strange look, then quickly shifted her gaze away. "I need to use the restroom," she said and left
the venue without waiting for a response.
As Felicity walked away, she slapped herself, thinking, 'It must be the alcohol. There's no way I have feelings for that
Stinky Cucumber!'
