Dexter sighed. “Licia is still holding a grudge against us.”
Myra was a little angry. “She is so ungrateful. What have we done wrong to her? We’ve given her everything she deserves. I’ve been trying to please her, and she refuses to get close to me. She won’t even call me ‘Mom’!” “Dad, Mom!” Kayla clung to their arms, acting coy while also taking a dig at Felicia. “But I’m here, right? I won’t hold a grudge against you like her!”
“Yes, you have always been considerate!”
“Hehe.”
Downstairs, it was a picture of warmth and laughter.
Upstairs, Sebastian knocked on Felicia’s door.
“Sebastian, is something wrong?”
She opened the door and gestured for him to come in.
He walked in and sat on the small stool before the vanity. He looked at her innocent expression and couldn’t hold back. He poked her forehead and said impatiently, “Why don’t you want it?” She was taken aback, surprised by his reaction.
When she faced him, he had never shown her such affection or tenderness in her previous life. At that time, she had been very insecure and never dared to get close to him.
She could only watch Kayla unabashedly act spoiled with their parents and brother and then secretly envy her.
She envied Kayla to the point of tears.
In Felicia’s previous life, Dexter had also brought up the topic of giving shares, but that was for Kayla, and as his “adopted daughter”, Felicia naturally received nothing. Sebastian was present at that time, but he didn’t speak, let alone advocate for her.
Felicia lost herself in these memories, but then her forehead was poked again, and Sebastian’s voice broke through, pulling her back from her reverie. “Are you stupid?” Huh? You were offered shares but didn’t want them. You’ve got too much money, huh?
“I’ll go talk to Dad and Mom. If they give away the shares, they’ll have to give them to both of you. If not, no
one gets anything! I’ll fight for you if you’re not fighting for what’s yours!”

GUMS
Sebastian said all of this in one breath, and after a long silence, he regretted it. Had he been too harsh? Had his tone been too heavy?
But when he looked down, he saw Felicia’s radiant smile.
“Thank you, Sebastian.”
Her words were sincere.
Her smile, which had always been distant and polite, now carried a genuine warmth.
For a moment, he felt dazed. All his earlier anger dissipated, and an inappropriate thought popped into his mind-Felicia was really beautiful.
He wondered which lucky guy would get her in the future.
It was strange. Kayla was also his sister, at least for the past 18 years. But when she was suddenly brought back, he didn’t feel much. She was just a little closer than a stranger, but that was all.
However, the moment he saw Felicia, he immediately recognized her.
They were indeed siblings by blood, and their faces shared a natural resemblance. Coupled with that unbreakable bond, the distance between them was instantly shortened. He sighed and gently patted her head. “It’s okay. I’m on your side.”
