Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2103

Vermont was surprised. "Do you have a death wish?" He asked.

Felicity looked away and stammered, "You don't have to hold yourself back. No one's stopping you anyway."

He reached out to pinch her cheek and said in a low voice, "It isn't the right time yet."

Felicity's motivation for wanting to sleep with him was wrong; she was doing it to satisfy Florence's pregnancy condition, which is why Vermont did not want to do it. He wanted it to be out of love and something they would enjoy.

Felicity was speechless as she thought, 'We're already in such a position. How can it still not be the right time?

'I spent so much effort finally getting things to this stage. What is he thinking?' She frowned and pushed him away. "If now isn't the right time, then when is?"

Vermont sat up. "After I deal with your mother."

Felicity paused. "D-Did you find out about something?"

Vermont hugged her and asked in a deep voice, "What something?"

He figured that if Felicity did not want him to know about it, then he should pretend not to know. After all, he was somewhat amused by how she clumsily seduced him just now.

He also realized that he should not have asked Felicity to appear on the call earlier. Florence was only targeting him, and getting Felicity involved would only create conflict between them, making the situation more difficult to deal with.

Felicity's suspicion disappeared as expected. She shook her head and said, "Nothing. What do you mean by dealing with my mother?"

"If I want to marry you, don't I have to get her approval first? I've been asking you to introduce me to her formally, but you never agreed. I figured she must not like me. Doesn't that mean I have to make a good impression and prove myself to her?

"Otherwise, how could she bear to allow her precious daughter to marry me?"

Felicity was easy to appease; she immediately became happy upon hearing what Vermont said. Then, she hugged his arm and teased him, "Then you're in for it. My mom is known for being difficult to deal with. Not only that she's rich, but she's also very strong-willed.

"What if she doesn't approve of our relationship no matter what? What will you do?"

Vermont chuckled. "Do you want to make a bet?"

Felicity got excited. "About what?"

"If your mom accepts me, you'll buy another costume like this one and wear it again for me. It has to be semi-transparent, too."

Felicity's ears flushed as she glared at him. "And what if she doesn't?"

"If she doesn't..." Vermont pondered for a moment, smirked, and playfully whispered in her ear, "Then I'll just do whatever I want to you and come up with another plan later.”

Felicity kicked him off the bed. "With what you're capable of, it's more like I'll be the one doing whatever I want to you""

Vermont sat on the carpet, pretending to be in pain. After noticing that Felicity did not fall for his act, he stood up and leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek.

"That'll work too. I'll cooperate and be gentle."

Felicity then kicked the flirtatious man out of her room.

However, she forgot to ask him why he video-called Florence after getting distracted by their conversation earlier.

As Vermont left the bedroom, he called Marshall.

Things did not go well between Marshall and Stella, and it made him feel down.

He could not focus at work and even overlooked several errors in the documents.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to call Carter.

But before he could dial the number, Vermont's call came through." Marshall, I've made plans with Carter for a drink. Do you want to join us?"
