The next morning, Connor pulled up to take Lydia to school. Lucinda had been up early, all dressed up and ready. As Lydia bent down to get in the car, Lucinda came running over.
“Lydia, can you ask Connor to give me a ride too? We’re all headed the same way anyway.”
Lydia paused, hardly glancing at her. “I’m not the driver. If you want a ride, ask him yourself.”
Aiden, gripping the steering wheel, didn’t dare say a word. Was he supposed to decide something like this? Anyone could tell Lydia didn’t want Lucinda tagging along. He shot a desperate look at Connor, silently begging for help.
Connor wasn’t about to let anyone mess with his precious alone time with Lydia. This drive was his one chance to be with her without interruptions.
He looked over at Lucinda, his expression cool. “Isn’t your driver right over there waiting for you?”
Lucinda forced a smile, trying to play it cute. “I just thought, since you’re already driving my sister, maybe I could catch a lift too. That way our driver doesn’t have to make another trip. Please?”
Connor checked his watch. “Time’s tight. It’s the first day of school, so there’s going to be traffic. It’s better if your driver takes you, or we’ll all end up late. Isn’t that right, Mr. and Mrs. Norwood?”
Kylie and Cameron was watching, and that’s the only reason Connor ever bothered being this polite. He would rather shut the door and leave Lucinda standing there.
Kylie jumped in with a smile. “Lucinda, he’s right. The roads will be packed today. No reason to make things more complicated. It’s quicker for everyone if your own driver takes you.”
Lucinda was fuming inside. All she wanted was for Connor to take her to school. She just wanted to get under Lydia’s skin. But every single one of them was siding with Lydia.
“Connor’s right. Fine… I’ll go with our driver then.”

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...
