Chapter 1119
Felicity's answer rendered Vermont silent. After a long time, he asked, "Does Stella know you're going back home?"
"Yes," Felicity whispered, feeling guilty.
Suddenly, Vermont found a reason to lose his temper. "Why didn't you tell me? What if we talked about you, and I
had no clue what was happening? Aren't you afraid that she'd kill me?"
Felicity did not know what to say. "Okay, okay. I'll let you know next time. Do you want anything to eat? I'll bring you
food and your meds before I leave for the airport."
"Forget it. I don't want anything. I'm hurt and don't have the appetite," Vermont sulked.
"What's wrong? Is it the injury?"
"No. It's my heart."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFelicity found his answer puzzling and was at a loss for words.
Vermont sighed and said, "It's fine. You don't have to come over and give me the meds anymore. Just pack your
bags and go. Remember to send my regards to your mom."
The man's tone made Felicity uncomfortable. "Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? What's wrong?" She
asked.
"It's nothing. I just feel that the holiday will be boring.
Everyone is getting together with their family and partners, but I'll be all alone. I thought you would be alone too,
and we could celebrate Thanksgiving together. But it looks like it'll just be me." ’
Felicity felt bad for Vermont and asked, "Aren't you going to celebrate Thanksgiving with your family?"
After a long time, Vermont pursed his lips and said, "No one cares if I go back or not. So why should I go and make
a nuisance of myself?" He paused and tried to put on a fake persona, "Why am I telling you all this? You shouldn't
be doing so much for me. Didn't you tell me you live in town? Switching stations will be tiring. You should rest up."
Hearing him say that, Felicity felt worse. She hesitated long before saying, "Why don't you come to my hometown
with me? My family is pretty small. Let's get together and have some fun."
The corners of Vermont's mouth curled upward, but he still tried to reject the offer, "I don't think I should.
Thanksgiving is a holiday for family reunions. I feel like it'd be rude if I showed up."
"My family doesn't care about that." Felicity paused for a moment and continued, "Though... I think the flight is sold
out. Hold on. Let me check if there are any upcoming flights, w
"That's okay. I can ask my assistant to contact the airline and see if anyone has returned their ticket. I'll keep you
updated," said Vermont. 'As long as she agrees to have me there, we could ride a helicopter for all I care.1
"Okay then. Pack up some of your stuff and get ready to go."
"Alright."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hanging up the phone, Vermont immediately contacted his assistant to help him with the ticket. Then, he went
home to wash up and pack his bag. 'I have to make a good impression,' he thought.
Meanwhile, Stella changed her clothes, put on her mask and sunglasses, and went grocery shopping. She bought
some vegetables and proceeded to the seafood section of the market to look at the fish. Felicity had taught her
how to make fish stew a while ago, which tasted good. So, she decided to cook it for Keegan.
Stella was undecided between getting a wild carp or a farmed carp. The farmed carp was priced at $15.90 per
pound, while the wild one was $29.80 per pound. 'The wild carp looks smaller, but the price difference is huge,' she
thought. 'Then again, they're like the same fish, right?'
Stella was about to reach for the farmed carp when a thought came to her mind, 'Would it be better to buy the
expensive one? But this one's cheaper.'
Seeing that she had been standing there for more than ten minutes, the fishmonger could not help but ask, "What
are you looking for, miss?"
"Hold on. Let me ask my partner," said Stella. She took a picture of the fish and sent it to Keegan with the caption, [
