Chapter 1679

Vermont barely had a chance to ponder how Felicity had discovered his secret. His brain was already working at full

speed, as he attempted to minimize his wrongdoing. He admitted, "...Yes, but the burn was not as severe as I made

it out to be."

Felicity glared at him. "Are you trying to deceive me again?"

"I’m not," said Vermont, and histone softened. "It did hurt at the time, and I didn't expect you to be so concerned. I

was just trying to tease you."

"Tease me?" Felicity's face darkened. "Am I a fool to you? Do you find it amusing to string me along?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Vermont tried to get up.

But Felicity promptly pushed him back down and warned," Don't you dare get up, or I'll knock you out!"

Vermont complied and laid back down. "Felicity, when did you start liking me?" he asked in a soft voice.

Felicity's ears burned, as she angrily responded, "I don't like you, you liar. If I had known that you were faking your

illness to deceive me, I would've never gotten involved with a deceitful scoundrel like you."

Vermont laughed bitterly and said, "But, I've liked you for quite some time."

Felicity was not convinced. Every memory of Vermont's months-long deception, which disrupted her sleep, fueled

her anger. "Don't play the emotion card with me!”

"I'm not." Vermont looked at her and continued, "At first, I was fond of your cooking. Over time, I took pleasure in

our interactions. It was filled with teasing and laughter. I didn't realize that I liked you back then because you didn't

fit my type on paper. Your loud voice, strong personality, occasional short temper, less-than-perfect appearance,

and shorter legs were not in line with my ideal type.'

Felicity's face turned red, and she immediately wanted to smother Vermont with a cushion.

"Remember when you liked Corbin? I told myself that there was no way I would care about a girl who hadn't fully

matured and carried feelings for another man when I was so young, good-looking, and successful in my career. But

then, reality hit me, and I learned that I did care. I cared when you always talked about Corbin when we were

together. I cared when you asked about Corbin's preferences. I cared when you spoke sweetly to him in front of

me. So, I kissed you under the influence of alcohol."

Felicity was momentarily stunned. She recalled Vermont kissing her in the private room while Corbin watched, and

she had given him a shoulder throw.

"But you didn't like it. Even a slight touch from me irritated you," said Vermont.

"Well, duh!" Felicity glared at him and said, "You kissed me by force. That's harassment! I could have called the cops

on you!"

Vermont did not dare to argue. "You didn't like me, so you thought that me kissing you was a prank. You never

considered anything romantic between us when it happened. IV

Felicity wanted to dispute his claim, but upon careful consideration, she realized she had never thought that she

would end up with Vermont before that incident.

One reason for that was she assumed she could not handle an experienced lover like Vermont. She also found

Vermont too talkative, gossipy, and immature, which were not traits she wanted in a partner.

Hence, Felicity did not see Vermont as an option back then.

"I'm someone who does what I can to the best of my ability to get something I want. Since you didn't like me, I

created opportunities to make you like me. Even though pretending to be sick for sympathy is despicable, I don't

regret it." Vermont paused and looked Felicity in the eyes. "Miss Bandit, I didn't trick you into liking me or falling for

me. I just gave us more time together, so you could get to know me."
