Chapter 730
Stella took out her phone and sent Felicity a WhatsApp message.
[What do you want to eat? I'll pack some food and bring them home for you.

Felicity only replied a few minutes after Stella had sent the message.
[I’ve also gone out for a gathering. Eat and play to your heart's content and go home. You don't have to worry about me.]
Stella sent another text. [With Vermont?]
Felicity sent her a speechless emoji. Then, she replied, (With Doctor Steven! ]
Stella laughed.
[You're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?]
Felicity responded, [It's important to have good cooking skills.]
Stella thought for a while and sent Keegan a text message. [Have you eaten?]
Keegan was about to put a spoonful of soup into his mouth. When he saw her text message, he set the spoon back in its place.
Just as he was about to reply, "I'm eating”, he gave it some thought and consulted Vermont via WhatsApp message.
[Stella asked if I had eaten. What does that mean?]
Vermont was currently in a private lounge. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the woman next to Corbin, who was being really
attentive to him.
Vermont had a friend who was getting married in two days. The friend had a bachelor's party tonight, so he called Vermont and
invited him over.
At first, Vermont said he did not want to go.
But, when the friend heard his answer, he laughed and said, "Vermont, did you get a new girlfriend recently? You never come
whenever we ask you out. Is your new girlfriend strict?"
Even Vermont himself felt that he had not attended gatherings in a while.
He had moved out a long time ago. His house was always quiet and lonely whenever he went home. Since no one was home
and he was the type who liked a lively atmosphere, he enjoyed going out for drinks with his friends and often only went home at
dawn.
'But, it's true that I haven't gone home late recently. Having someone to cook for me at home and argue with me while eating is
much better than going to noisy places to numb myself with alcohol. Over time, I had actually gotten used to it,' he thought.
Vermont was a rational person, so he immediately made himself break away when he noticed that this habit was starting to
invade his life.
And so, he decisively agreed to his friend's invitation. After knowing that Corbin was also going, he brought Felicity along.
'After all, I need to honor my promise to her,' he thought again.
However, now that he watched Felicity being all attentive toward Corbin, he felt incredibly unhappy.
Felicity's smile at Corbin differed from the half-hearted smile she gave him. Her eyes would light up.
At that moment, Vermont's phone vibrated. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a WhatsApp message from Keegan.
He replied, [Act pitiful. Tell her you haven't eaten the entire day.]
Right after he sent the reply, the couch next to him sank downward. A woman with wavy hair and dressed in a short skirt sat
down. She smiled and asked, "Care for a drink?"
Vermont did not answer. Instead, he looked at Felicity, who was nearby. She was saying something to Corbin and smiling.
Vermont licked the back of his teeth and accepted the woman's drink.
Then, he downed it.
The woman smiled and moved a little closer to him.
"Shall we go upstairs?" she said in a low and seductive voice.
Her invitation was way too explicit. Vermont obviously knew what she meant.
He reached out and pulled Felicity into his arms. Then, he turned to the woman next to him and laughed, "Sorry, I'm taken."
Felicity widened her eyes.
'Stinky Cucumber? What the... Mmph!"
Vermont swallowed all of her swears.
