Carter couldn’t help but sigh. “Mom, seriously, give it a rest. She’s just not into me.”
Mrs. Shaw clicked her tongue. “Come on, you are a catch. Give yourself some credit. It’s just dinner anyway, and you really should thank her properly, right?”
He had to admit, she wasn’t wrong. Lydia had done them a huge favor, and it would be rude not to do something in return. He could bring up the money when they met for dinner.
“Fine. I’ll ask her.”
“That’s my boy. You’ve got this!”
Carter just shook his head, not sure whether to laugh or groan.
Meanwhile, Lydia had just gotten back to the Norwood house when a message from Carter popped up on her phone. He wanted to take her out to dinner to say thanks for the painting, and was asking if she was free that evening. Since he was Mrs. Shaw’s son and also Boris’ student, it felt a little too harsh to turn him down flat.
She thought it over for a second, then replied, [Okay.]
Seeing her answer, Carter suddenly felt his nerves kick in.
Mrs. Shaw was practically glowing with excitement. “Oh, this is fantastic. Come on, let me help you get ready. Lydia’s going to be so impressed when she sees you.”
Over at Capital College, Lucinda was just getting out of class. Ever since word got out that William was about to be promoted, everyone in her class had been treating her like royalty. Whether in the classroom or the dorm, people were constantly praising her, acting like she was some famous celebrity.
She was walking toward the school gate, laughing and chatting with her friends, when someone stepped out from a side path and blocked her way.
Lucinda stopped in her tracks.

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...
