Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Felicity Thompson chimed in, “With how stingy you are, if you didn’t steal something on his birthday, he’d think you had changed.” Vermont ground his teeth.

“You're heartless! I might be stingy with others, but when have I ever been stingy with you or my bros?” Felicity gave an example, “Did you forget how you tricked both me and your bros, getting me to cook for you for a month without spending a penny?” Vermont defended himself, “As a middleman, can’t I make a bit of a margin?

“Watch your mouth! It’s his birthday, no talk of death!” Vermont slung an arm around her shoulders, looking at Keegan with a serious gaze.

“What I mean is, I want to be your best friend for life.” Keegan felt a warm surge in his chest.

He took the gift calmly, “ We'll see how you behave.” “Tsk—if you’re touched, just cry.
