NovelEnglish"Licia, you're always eating at the school cafeteria, so you're probably not getting enough nutrition. Why not move back home?" "No thanks, Mrs. Fuller. I'm doing fine at school. It's convenient." When Felicia addressed her as "Mrs. Fuller," Myra's expression stiffened momentarily, and she glanced at Dexter, feeling somewhat wronged.
Ever since Felicia had returned, she had only called her "Mom" once, and that was when she asked Felicia to give up Arnold for Kayla. She had said it sarcastically as well. Other than that, the only address she ever used was "Mrs. Fuller". Myra felt deeply wronged. "Licia, I'm your mom. If outsiders hear you callingthat, they'll think we have no family bond!" Felicia didn't respond. She didn't have the energy to play a loving daughter.

Seeing that Felicia remained silent, Dexter stepped in to smooth things over. "Licia, the New Year is coming soon, and you'll get a break from school. You'll cback hthen, right?" This was something Felicia couldn't really refuse, so she nodded.
Kayla rushed downstairs like a whirlwind and ran to Dexter and Myra, acting cute. "Dad, Mom, letquiz you. What day is it in a couple of days?" Dexter hesitated and replied, "There's nothing special, is there? The New Year is still a bit far off." "Mom, your turn!" "I don't remember either." Myra also shook her head.
Kayla stamped her feet in frustration, looking pitiful. At that moment, Dexter and Myra burst into laughter in unison, saying, "Of course, we remember! It's your birthday. How could we forget?" Kayla's face bloomed into a satisfied smile when she heard this.
Sebastian, standing beside Felicia, furrowed his brows. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Kayla. "Dad, Mom, isn't my birthday the sday as Felicia's?" As soon as she said this, the previously cheerful atmosphere vanished, replaced by a hint of awkwardness. Felicia and Kayla were indeed born on the sday. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been swapped at birth. What made things awkward for Dexter and Myra was that they had been so caught up in responding to Kayla that they had forgotten it was Felicia's birthday.
Myra quickly tried to salvage the situation, smiling. "Licia, I've already planned everything. Since you and Kayla share the sbirthday, let's have a big birthday party. You can invite more friends and classmates. How does that sound?" Earlier, Felicia mentioned that she had no friends and watched the movie alone.

If they both have the sbirthday, it could feel unfair to one of the birthday girls." "Sebastian, you're being biased!" Kayla pouted, looking aggrieved. "I won't steal Felicia's spotlight. I'll let her have the attention, okay?" "That's not what I meant-" Sebastian explained, but Felicia's cold voice cut him off.
"When is my birthday? I've never celebrated my birthday, and I don't even know when I was born. So, it turns out it's this month?" It made sense. She had been ense.
"swapped" by mistake the day she
was born. Howell and Tabitha never celebrated her birthday, and even the day she was born was always vague when they talked about it. QUMS Myra's heart ached when she heard this, and genuine guilt and pity welled up. "Licia... I'm sorry that you've suffered." Kayla immediately sensed something was wrong.
She had intended to suppress and exclude Felicia, but her plan had m backfired. Felicia had turned the situation around effortlessly, playing the victim to evoke guilt from Dexter and Myra! This wasn't good!
Sure enough, Dexter said, "Licia, for your birthday, I plan to transfer five percent of the company's shares to En: you as your birthday gift!"
