As soon as Lucinda saw her grandfather roll in, she felt a wave of relief. Her voice trembled with emotion. “Grandpa, Caspian and I broke up. Dad and Mom… they think I’m just being difficult.”
Mr. Norwood let out a snort and slapped his hand down on the armrest. “Difficult? Nonsense. Caspian just didn’t know how to treat you right. You are my granddaughter, smart and beautiful. Caspian is just the Hansen family’s son. His family’s worth isn’t even a third of ours. He’s not good enough for you, Lucinda.”
Feeling like she finally had someone on her side, Lucinda hurried to his wheelchair, her voice catching as she wiped at her eyes. “Grandpa, I really tried, but we just don’t fit together.”
Mr. Norwood’s eyes softened as he looked at Lucinda, then turned sharp when he glanced at Kylie and Cameron. “Have you ever cared about how Lucinda really feels? Relationships are about two people. You can’t force them to work. Lucinda made the right call. If it’s not right, you let it go. No Norwood girl ever has to settle.”
Kylie sighed. “Dad, we’re not stopping Lucinda from breaking up. We just want her to be sure, so she doesn’t regret it later.”
Lucinda lifted her head, stubborn and steady, meeting her parents’ eyes. “Dad, Mom, you don’t have to worry. I won’t regret this.”
Kylie and Cameron exchanged a look and nodded. “Okay. As long as you know what you are doing.”
Back when Lucinda first wanted to be with Caspian, they’d told her to think carefully, but she’d pleaded for their approval. They’d finally agreed. Caspian had been a decent guy and it was clear how much he loved Lucinda. But now… well, they felt a little guilty. Kylie thought she should call Caspian at some point, just to check in and maybe offer a bit of comfort.
Meanwhile, Lydia had gone straight upstairs when she got home and hadn’t seen any of the drama. Later, Tina came to call her for dinner and filled her in.
“Lucinda broke up with Caspian,” Tina said quietly.

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...
