Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) -
Chapter 1924
Chapter 1924
"Unfortunately, the retirement age has been changed now. When it's our turn to retire, we'll probably be sixty years old by then. I might not even receive my pension before I kick the bucket. I can only get a portion of what I contributed to the pension scheme all those years. It's pretty sad to think that after working so hard for so many years, I'll be gone before even I can enjoy them.
"So, after thinking about it, I've decided to get married after thirty-five and preferably have a child after forty. By the time my child is twenty and heading to college, I'll be officially retired and too old to be walking around, which means I won't have to babysit my grandchildren and still get to enjoy my pension. It's not that bad, right? Even if I don't live to sixty, the money in my pension account can be passed on to my child. They won't go to waste," Felicity added.
Vermont's lip twitched, "Why do you care so much about your pension?"
"What? Without it, how am I supposed to get money when I'm that old?"
Vermont's lip quivered this time, "Do you really want me to only become a dad at forty-five?"
"Hmm, forty-five does sound a little too old now." Felicity frowned, "Will you still be capable of having children at forty-five?"
"Of course not. How about we move it earlier by fifteen years?"
Felicity pretended to think seriously and said, "To be fair, it might be difficult for you to have a child at forty-five. Didn't you say that my career would only flourish after I get married? So, let's get married first when you turn forty-five. When I'm finally successful, we can divorce, and I'll replace a young and healthy man to have a child with. After that, we can remarry. This way, you'll have a wife, a child, and also money. What do you think?"
Vermont was stunned by Felicity's idea.
Suddenly, he wrapped his arm around Felicity and whispered, "Miss bandit, I don't want money. I just want to marry you. Whether you're thirty, forty, or fifty, I'll still marry you."
Felicity was just joking with him and did not expect him to confess his feelings so openly in front of so many people. She blushed, her face turning as red as an apple. Vermont kissed her on the cheek and said in a gentle tone," Marry me, and I'll personally contribute to your pension fund. You'll have double protection." Felicity paused and genuinely considered his suggestion.
Kayla could not help but chuckle. She said, "A thousand a month can get you a wife now, huh? Mr. Snyder, I've got to say that you made quite an appealing offer." Felicity gritted her teeth and shook Vermont off, "I knew you wouldn't be so generous with me! Was that really your plan? Hmph!"
Vermont tried to defend himself, "Darling, I'm just playing along with you because you like the idea of pension."
Felicity glared at him, "I like Keegan's Bugatti too. Why don't you buy me one?"
"Baby, Bugatti is for those flashy rich kids like Keegan to show off. How many times have you seen him drive it? That car looks nice, but it's not practical at all. Imagine when we have kids in the future; what car we do with a two-seater? We can't even bring our kids anywhere. After we get married, I'm going to buy a Prius for us to take the kids around, and you can use the Bentley as your working car. How does that sound?"
"Won't your employees laugh at you if you drive a Prius?
You're still a boss, after all." Felicity believed in Vermont's sweet words and even began to worry that driving a Prius might affect his image at the company.
Vermont hugged her closer, chuckled, and said, 'They'll only envy and be jealous of me."
Stella sighed and thought to herself, 'If Keegan could speak like this, our baby would be going to preschool by now.'
After drinking too much of tea and juice, Stella needed to use the restroom. So, she excused herself and walked away from the table.
However, when she arrived at the restroom, she noticed a sign indicating that it was being cleaned.
Coincidentally, a waiter passed by. Stella stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, is there another restroom on this floor?"
The waiter replied, "There's one upstairs that's available now. I can show you the way."
Stella thanked him and followed him.
Shortly after she left, someone removed the "Cleaning in Progress" sign.
