Lydia thought about telling Kylie and Cameron the truth, but then she realized that spending every day under the same roof as Mr. Norwood made it too risky. They might slip up and let something important out.
After turning it over in her mind, Lydia figured it was best to talk to Blake first. He’d know what to do. But tonight was already too late for any serious conversation.
She still had to head back to school tomorrow, but she could deal with that easily. For now, she just sent Blake a quick text. [Blake, will you be at the office tomorrow? I need to talk to you about something.]
When Blake was in work mode, he pretty much lived in the executive suite at the company. Unless something urgent happened at home, he barely left the office. He also kept a private villa close to Norwood Enterprises, just in case.
Tonight, he was still working late. No surprise there. He didn’t have a girlfriend, and he never cared for clubbing or parties. Blake was the definition of a workaholic.
So when Lydia’s message popped up, it caught him off guard. She rarely reached out unless it was important.
He texted back right away. [Sure. Should I come home, or will you come to the office?]
Lydia replied, [I’ll come to your office. Are you free in the morning?]
Blake’s mood instantly lifted. [I am. See you tomorrow morning.]
Jonas, who was bringing dinner to Blake, couldn’t believe it when he saw Blake smiling so softly. For a second, he wondered if Blake had actually fallen in love.
As that idea struck him, Blake looked up and said, “Jonas, go pick up some snacks and treats girls like. And grab a few trendy gifts for girls too. Leave them in my office.”
Jonas froze, his eyes going wide. Was this really happening? Was Blake dating someone for real?
Blake noticed Jonas just standing there, looking stunned, and gave him a look that said he was being ridiculous. “What are you staring at? Did you hear me? Go do it.”

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...
