Chapter 1555
Felicity hurriedly finished buttoning up her clothes and opened the bathroom door in response to Vermont's knock."
What's up?" she asked.
"The grilled fish is getting cold. Come on out and eat," Vermont urged.
"Alright, I'm coming."
Vermont was already seated at the dining table when
Felicity emerged from the bathroom. He waved her over." You took a while in there. Were you constipated or
something?"
Felicity was speechless. "You're quite the pest," she shot back, as she glared at him. "Other couples go on dates.
They sip on coffee or wine and explore various places together. But, with you, all we do is eat, drink, and sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVermont handed her some cutleries with a grin. "Those are the basics of life. Who spends their days in an RV with a
glass of wine? Will you be drinking when we have children?"
Felicity was feeling a little stifled. "Can't we have a bit more romance? I feel like you didn't really woo me. The more
I think about it, the more I feel like I just settled with what I have."
"What do you mean I didn't woo you?" Vermont looked up and chuckled. "I asked you to play video games with me
and invited you for meals. Isn't that a way of pursuing you?"
Felicity was exasperated. "That's what you call courtsmanship? Based on that logic, I must have many potential
suitors!" she said, as she began to eat.
"You have tons of exes. How did you pursue them back then? Why am I getting the short end of the stick?" Felicity
asked, and her frustrations were apparent. "Did you not put as much effort into pursuing me because I'm not as
pretty as them?"
Vermont knew she was genuinely upset when he heard her mention his ex-girlfriends. He walked around the table,
pulled a chair, and sat beside her. He took her hand and spoke gently. "Why compare yourself to them? You're not
in the same league. It's your inner qualities that truly won me over."
Felicity grew even more discontented. "So, you admit I'm not as pretty as your ex-girlfriends?"
Vermont chuckled softly. "It's not like that. They're no longer a part of my life. In my eyes, you're the most beautiful
person in the world."
Felicity felt even more aggrieved. "Can't you just say that I'm prettier than them?"
Vermont sighed. "If I said that, you'd see right through me and feel even more unhappy."
Felicity pouted. "Then, tell me, how did you pursue them?"
Vermont smiled. "Honestly, I didn't really have to try that hard. Most of the time, it was just a couple of dinner
dates, and things naturally fell into place. After all, I own a house, a car, and a company, not to mention my good
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlooks. I don't really have any bad habits either. They were usually willing to accept me whenever I made a move."
Felicity thought about it and mumbled, "Well... Is there anyone who wouldn't accept you with that thick skin of
yours?"
"You're really misunderstanding me. Love is a two-way street. If I pursue someone and they say no, then it's done. I
won't continue to pursue them."
Felicity suddenly recalled Vermont's confession to her. After being rejected, he immediately distanced himself from
her. She then felt a pang of heartache.
"Is your affection really that shallow? You confess once, get rejected, and give up?" she asked.
Vermont said, "I was young back then. If I liked someone, I'd confess. It didn't matter if I got rejected. There are so
many girls on this Earth. I'd just find another girl I like and confess again. There was bound to be someone who'd
say yes."
Felicity was dumbfounded. "That makes you sound like a scum."
Vermont chuckled softly. "Babe, scums date multiple women at once. They move on to the next woman after a
breakup. How am I a scum when I pursue someone else after being rejected?"
