Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Vermont quickly responded, “I’m an old fox and won’t be attracted to a young fox like you.”

Tatiana grinned at him and then said to Felicity, “I like people who are rich but simple-minded. If they’re not too smart, even better.”

Felicity was stunned.

Tatiana, aren’t you being a bit too blunt?

Tatiana smiled. With her ponytail and plain face, she looked innocent, but her words were direct. “Do you think I’m materialistic?”

Felicity quickly shook her head. “No.” Worried Tatiana wouldn’t believe her, Felicity added, “Only truly materialistic people call themselves that. Besides, when looking for a partner, who doesn’t want someone with good qualities? Otherwise, we might end up digging wild vegetables to survive.”

Tatiana smiled brightly. “Vermont, you’re the first to say this and make me feel better. Others either avoid the topic or look at me strangely.”

Felicity felt embarrassed. “Everyone has their own standards when choosing a partner. I used to think I’d end up with a calm, knowledgeable doctor or teacher. Instead, I found a chatterbox who talks more than I do.”

Vermont was caught off guard.

“I talk too much?” Vermont said, dissatisfied. “Then go find someone quiet who never says anything. With how much you love to gossip, you’d get sick holding it all in! I talk a lot, but have you ever seen me talk this much to anyone else? I do it because I want to share everything with you. Should I stay silent instead? You should worry if I stop talking to you. And what’s wrong with talking? A couple should communicate more, not less. Do you want us to act out silent films at home?”

Felicity’s mouth twitched. “You feel wronged when I say you talk too much. Look how many times you respond to my one sentence.”

Vermont coughed and whispered, “I have to defend myself. Have you ever seen a debater say just one sentence in an argument?”

Felicity glared at him, making Tatiana laugh.

Felicity sighed, “This is what happens when you marry a chatterbox. You can’t even win an argument!”

Tatiana stopped laughing and said, “You two love each other, so you’re willing to compromise on your preferences. But for me, mutual affection isn’t that important. I just want a financially stable man who’s easy to manage, with a decent appearance and height. You can’t have it all.”
