Chapter 15 Chapter

Just as Myra and Dexter stood in a standoff, Felicia walked out from around the corner. She stood right in front of

them.

Dexter and Myra were both startled, their faces showing visible panic. "Licia, how long have you been here?"

"I've been here all along." Felicia smiled.

She looked just like her usual self. Her smile was indifferent and distant, making it impossible to read her true

feelings.

Dexter felt a throbbing pain in his head. This meant that Felicia had overheard everything they had said.

Myra clenched her teeth and decided to lay it all out. "Licia, | need to talk to you!"

"Go ahead, I'm all ears," Felicia replied, rubbing her ear to signal that she was listening.

Dexter's heart tightened as he pulled Myra aside and whispered, "What do you want to say? Don't you think our

daughter is already distant enough?"

Myra held back her frustration and shouted, "Since things have cto this point, it's better to just say it out

loud!"

"Licia, Kayla is your sister. Today at the party, | announced your identity to everyone. It's not fair to Kayla She will

definitely be ridiculed as an impostor in the future. Kayla has been pampered since she was little. She can't

endure this humiliation-" Just as Myra went on with her lengthy explanation, Felicia interrupted her, "Get to the

point."

"Licia, everyone knows that your sister likes Arnold. They grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts.

Everyone thinks they are a match made in heaven! So, | hope you won't take Mr. Lawson Senior's proposal

seriously." Just because Kayla liked him, she was supposed to let her have him?

Felicia felt a laugh bubbling up, but for sreason, tears started to roll down her cheeks. All the grievances

from her past life erupted at that moment. The humiliation and feelings of abandonment washed over her like a

tidal wave. Despite her smile, her tears wouldn't stop falling. It was as if her eyes had malfunctioned. With a tone

of self-mockery, she asked, "What if | like him too, Mom?"

Ever since she had been brought back to the Fuller family, Felicia had never called her "Mom". Even at the recent

party, when Myra had hoped to hear her call her that, Felicia had remained silent. Finally, she had called her

that, but it was in such a heartbreaking context. How ironic!

Myra felt overwhelmed, her hands trembling. She loved both of her daughters, but at that moment, her heart

was torn in two, feeling guilty toward both of them. Myra covered her face and cried. Dexter took a deep breath,

wrapping his arms around his wife, and said to Felicia, "Licia, your mom didn't mean it like that. Don't take it

seriously; just pretend you didn't hear it." Could she pretend nothing had happened when the harm had already

been dealt? Could she act like she didn't hear them when the rift between them had already formed? Felicia

wiped away her cold tears, the brief vulnerability in her eyes disappearing as she seemed to revert to her

previously untouchable and indifferent demeanor. Chapter th

want Arnold!"

With that, Felicia turned to leave. However, Myra only cried harder.

Feeling agitated, Dexter couldn't help but say, "Isn't this what you wanted? Why are you still crying?"

"Are you blaming me?" Myra lifted her head from his embrace, anger in her eyes. "Don't you think that way too?"

"Well, you can't say that! You're being unreasonable!"

"Who's being unreasonable? Tell me!"

The couple, who had loved each other for over 20 years, were arguing like never before.

Meanwhile, a quarrel was also brewing at the Lawson residence.

Arnold, who had been somehow roped into a marriage, felt increasingly frustrated. He couldn't help but

complain, "Grandpa, how could you propose to the Fuller family without consulting me? And with someone like

that!" "Someone like what?" Matthew asked, sipping his tea.

"Someone like-" Arnold didn't even want to mention Felicia's name. All he could recall from the party was her

beautiful face and that infuriating remark she made.
