“Married into the royal family? You mean Uncle Damien’s granddaughter?” Kylie asked, her eyes lighting up with curiosity.
“Yeah, his oldest granddaughter married Prince Theo from Country Y,” Mabel replied.
Kylie looked shocked. “Wait, Prince Theo got married? How come I haven’t heard anything?”
“The wedding was a secret. They haven’t made it public yet.”
“Oh, alright,” Kylie nodded, understanding now.
Nathaniel rolled his eyes. “So what if she married into royalty? She still has to watch everyone’s moods every day. What’s there to brag about?”
“Nathaniel! That’s enough. It wasn’t easy for your great-uncle to bring his whole family back to visit us,” Mabel scolded.
Nathaniel clicked his tongue. “Yeah, yeah, I know.”
He wasted no time sliding over to Lydia, putting on his best puppy-dog grin. “Lydia, when do you have time to take us out for a spin?”
Ever since Lydia had shared her racing secrets, Nathaniel’s team had improved like crazy. They’d beaten everyone except Chris’ crew. Nathaniel was hoping Lydia would teach them a few more tricks so when he finally raced Chris, he could get him to call him ‘boss.’
Before Lydia could answer, Connor cut in with zero warmth. “She’s busy.”
Nathaniel shot Connor a look but didn’t dare talk back. Connor wasn’t someone you argued with lightly.
He gave Lydia a hopeful smile and asked in a lower voice, “Maybe sometime later, Lydia? When you’re not busy?”
Connor answered again, flat as ever. “She won’t be free.”
Nathaniel’s face twitched in annoyance as he glared at Connor.
Lydia said gently, “Maybe later. We’ll see.”
Nathaniel brightened immediately. “Lydia, you’re the best!”
Connor looked like he might roll his eyes right out of his head.
Lydia just stared at Nathaniel, speechless. Why was he suddenly acting so clingy?
A little while later, William came home.
His usual serious face softened into a smile when he saw everyone gathered, but when his eyes landed on Connor, his expression froze for a split second.

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
