Chapter 570
Keegan frowned, "You sure know how to make words from a scumbag sound refreshing, huh?"
The corners of Vermont's eyes twitched. "Since when am I a scumbag? I am just gaining more experience for my future wife.
The only way to know how girls are and what they like is to be with different types of girls, okay? I'm telling you, you're
inexperienced. I mean, so many girls were chasing you back then. You should at least date two of them. That way, you won't be
so helpless when facing Stella."
Keegan did not like this theory at all. "You talk about experience, but I don't see any girls you've dated here."
Those words stabbed through Vermont's heart. Every time he was in a relationship, it never progressed further.
Whether it was him or the girls he's been with, most of their love and care were materialistic.
Stella was also one of them. She never went easy on spending Keegan's money, but she was kind to Keegan.
Keegan used to flaunt that Stella made his lunch boxes, and Vermont always said that he did not need someone to make him
lunch. In reality, however, he secretly wanted someone to do the same for him. It was a sweet gesture that money could not buy.
Vermont and Keegan were picky eaters and worked all year round. They often got tired of eating outside, so a home- cooked
meal could satisfy their cravings. It did not matter if the food was good; it was nice to know that someone at home cared if they
were eating well.
Many of Vermont's ex-girlfriends did not know how to cook. Even if they did, they would tell him they never wanted to step into
the kitchen. Vermont thought they were not wifey material, at least not for him.
However, he found that there were other factors behind his inability to find a lifelong partner. The main one was that he and his
ex-partners did not care enough to put each other first, as they only cared about themselves.
Stella was not good at cooking, but she cared for Keegan and was willing to learn. That alone was enough to keep Vermont
hungry for a long time. So, when Stella stopped making lunch boxes for Keegan, he gloated for a long time.
"Why did you change the focus to me when we're talking about you? You have to listen to me if you want to get Stella back."
After saying that, Vermont thought about something and continued, "I'll call Marshall. He's a man with great ideas. I'm sure he'll
be able to give you good advice."
"Don't," Keegan frowned and said coldly.
Vermont was surprised. "Why? Did you guys fight?" he asked.
Keegan pursed his lips and stayed quiet.
Vermont was taken aback by how he was acting. Marshall's relationship with Keegan was stronger than theirs. Marshall and
Keegan grew up together, while he only met Keegan when he was around ten. The status of the Snyder family was far lower
than that of the Kane or Moore family.
Vermont was able to befriend Keegan simply because he had thick skin.
Unlike the Kane or Moore families, the Snyder family only made their fortune for twenty years.
Vermont's dad had three marriages, so he was the youngest and had many older siblings. Since there were many children in the
family, the attention his parents could
allocate to each child was limited. When Vermont was born, his parents worked hard to provide for the family. They did not have
time to care for him, so he was tossed to his grandfather before he weaned.
He grew up at his grandfather's place until he was eleven or twelve. Then, his parents only took him back when he was about to
enter junior high.
At that time, the Snyder family's business was already looking good in Rivera. Most of Vermont's siblings married and had
children, while the rest went to college. Since they did not raise Vermont for more than ten years, they did not show much
affection for him. However, they gave him whatever they could and sent him to Rivera's best rich kids' high school.
