Everyone burst out laughing.
Kylie grinned at her brother. “Come on, Lydia and Connor are doing great together. Don’t start playing matchmaker.”
William just shrugged. “If Lydia’s happy, there’s nothing I can do. Looks like Connor’s lucked out.”
Lucinda felt her excitement fizzle out. That was it? He just agreed so easily? All her anticipation had been for nothing.
Before long, people started showing up, one after another. Lydia wasn’t a fan of crowds. Nathaniel wasn’t either, so the two of them slipped away and found a quiet corner. Supposedly, Nathaniel wanted her advice about entering civil service. In reality, he dragged her to the rock garden to play games and vent.
“Lydia, I swear, I’m just not built for a government job. My dad was locked up for three days, and now he’s acting like he’s lost his mind, forcing me to take this exam. I’m about to lose it.”
Lydia didn’t even look up from her phone. “How do you know you’re not cut out for it if you don’t try?”
“All I want is to race cars, beat Chris for once, and then take over my mom’s company. Wouldn’t it be nice to just do whatever I want?”
Lydia glanced at him. “So have you actually beaten Chris?”
Nathaniel’s voice got a little smaller. “If it was just me and Chris, I’d win, easy. It’s just that my teammates keep messing up. They need more practice.”
Lydia just let that one hang in the air.
Nathaniel huffed. “You’re one to talk. You’re not even married into the Jefferson family yet, but you’re already on their side. If you hadn’t coached Chris, he’d never beat me, ever. He’s even worse than I am.”
Lydia considered this for a second. “Don’t underestimate him. He’s actually a government employee.”
“What?” Nathaniel stared at her, as if he’d misheard.
She looked right at him. “You heard me. Racing is just his hobby. He works for the government.”

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...
