To Kayla, it was better for Felicia not to tag along. She was worried that Felicia might cause trouble.

Myra signed and patted Kayla's hand. She lamented, If only Myra were as obedient and well-behaved as you are."

Kayla replied playfully. "She can do whatever she wants, but I can't. That's why I have to behave. What if you and Dad don't like me anymore and kick me out of the house?" The implication of her words was clear. Felicia relied on the fact that she was the Fullers' biological daughter and acted recklessly without regard for consequences. Even if she was being disrespectful, they couldn't abandon their flesh and blood.

Dexter and Myra wouldn't have overthought it if the words had come from anyone else, but since Kayla had said them herself, they found her endearing and pitiable.

Myra smiled dotingly. "You're loved by everyone, Kay, I'm sure everyone likes you. Don't ever talk about getting kicked out of the house again. You're the apple of our eye, got it?" "Got it! I'm treasured by the Fullers." Kayla raised her chin proudly.

"Glad you know it!"

The car arrived at the Lawson residence amid the cheerful conversation.

Since they had announced the visit beforehand, they were smoothly let in. A butler greeted them and led them into the main hall upon their arrival at the villa.

Kayla had been here many times, so she was familiar with the surroundings.

Matthew was practicing calligraphy in the main hall. The large sandalwood table was covered with sheets of calligraphy that had yet to dry.

Arnold was beside him, grinding ink. When he saw the Fullers arrive, he reminded Matthew, "Grandpa, we have guests.

Matthew paused and caused a drop of ink to fall, ruining the nearly completed piece of calligraphy.

He frustratedly threw his pen aside and said irritatedly, "Do you think I can't see or hear? You were supposed to focus on grinding ink to calm your impatience!" "Yes, Grandpa. I'll be more careful next time." Arnold quickly admitted his mistake.

Matthew took a napkin from a maid with a cold snort and wiped his hands before finally turning to the Fullers and inviting them to take their seats.

After glancing around and not seeing Felicia, he asked, "Where's my granddaughter-in-law? Didn't she

come?"

The term "granddaughter-in-law" sparked varied expressions on the faces of the Fuller trio as they sat down.

Dexter cleared his throat and smiled awkwardly. "To be honest, Mr. Lawson Senior, we're here to discuss that with you. "Neither Arnold nor Felicia has any intention of getting married. Forcing them together would only lead to an unhappy marriage. Myra nodded in agreement.

Dexter continued, "So if you're set on a marriage alliance between our families, why not consider Kayla and Arnold?

"The two of them are fond of each other, and Kayla will always be part of the Fuller family though she isn't our biological daughter."

Matthew looked surprised to hear her words. "Do you think I chose Felicia because she's your biological daughter?"

"Isn't that why?" Dexter and Myra exchanged puzzled glances. They had assumed that was the reason, as there was no way to explain why Matthew had selected Felicia,

Matthew shook his head. "You're wrong. I chose Felicia because of who she is as a person, not whose. daughter she is."

In other words, he didn't see the Fuller family's bloodline as anything special. To him, Felicia was more remarkable than the Fuller family name.

Dexter was at a loss for words, and Myra couldn't help but interject, "But Mr. Lawson Senior, we should respect the children's wishes when we talk about something as important as marriage. If they don't want the marriage, forcing it won't lead to happiness."
