Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)
Return Of The Crowned Heiress 47

Chapter 47

Before they knew it, the first day of college arrived. After much coaxing from Kayla, she insisted that Myra and Dexter accompany her instead of having Eugene take her.

"Mom, Dad, you promised me before that no matter how busy you are, you would always put your work aside to be with me. You've always done that since I was little. How can you go back on your word now?" Dexter and Myra exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.

They had initially planned to accompany Felicia since she had chosen to stay at the dormitory and had many things to settle, and they were genuinely concerned about leaving her alone.

Kayla seemed to sense their hesitation. With her head down, she feigned disappointment and said, "It's okay. I can go by myself. You two should go with Felicia. I don't mind..."

As the beloved daughter of the Fuller family, Kayla had been doted on since childhood. From her preschool performances to every major event over the years, Myra and Dexter had never missed a

a single one, especially not something as significant as the first day of college.

Yet this time, they were leaving her behind. The contrast was striking.

Watching Kayla hold back tears while forcing a smile, Myra's heart ached. She offered a compromise. How about this? Dad can go with you, and I'll go with Felicia. That way, it's fair."

Kayla pouted but reluctantly agreed. "Okay, fine..."

Once she had calmed Kayla, Myra went to knock on Felicia's door. When she pushed it open, the room was eerily empty. The bed was neatly made, and there were hardly any belongings in sight, making it look as though Felicia had never been there at all. The maid said, "Mrs. Fuller, Ms. Felicia got up early and went to college by herself."

Myra frowned. "We promised her last night that we would go with her today..."

Although she said this, Myra felt relieved inside. After all, she had promised Felicia that she and Dexter would accompany her to college, but circumstances had shifted at the last minute.

It was unclear whether Felicia had anticipated this change and left without saying goodbye.

"Let's head out too," Myra said, linking her arm with Dexter's and wrapping her other arm around Kayla. Kayla glanced back and asked innocently, "Mom, where's Felicia?"

"Felicia has already gone to college."

"Oh..." Kayla said with a smile, "Don't worry. Felicia is independent and capable. She can handle anything on her own. Unlike me, I get lost easily and can't read people well at all. Last time, I almost got scammed out of my money..."

Myra couldn't help but laugh as she gently poked Kayla's forehead. "From a young age, you've always made people worry. It's impossible not to care."

Kayla stuck her tongue out playfully. After all, the child who cried got the candy. Even parents couldn't help but favor the one who appeared weaker and more vulnerable.

She maintained her persona and asked, "Mom, when are we visiting the Lawson residence? We should clear things up with Mr. Lawson Senior, or else rumors will spread, and it won't be good for Felicia."

"Tomorrow." The engagement lesue needed to be resolved quickly.

Dexter took the lead and said, "I'll have my assistant prepare some gifts. We can all go together and have a proper discussion with Mr. Lawson Senior." "Okay."

When Felicia stepped onto campus, a few upperclassmen were directing the new students.

Upon seeing her, one girl nudged the boy beside her, and they exchanged glances, whispering something to each other.
