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.”
Felicity 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?”
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, [ Which one do you want?]
Suddenly, a voice came from behind as she pressed the send button. “Stella?”
