Lydia squinted, then let out a soft laugh. Maisie and Marilyn stood nearby, both looking absolutely stunning. She hadn’t expected Marilyn to be part of this group too.
“Carter!” Rosie’s heels clicked loudly as she hurried over, eyes locked on Carter and Lydia. “Carter, why are you here with her?”
Rosie had tried to get Carter to meet up tonight, but he told her he already had plans. She’d pushed for details and finally found out where he’d be, but never imagined he’d be seeing Lydia.
Lydia was impossible to avoid. No matter where she went, Lydia always seemed to show up. And now, the guy Rosie had been chasing for what felt like forever—a guy who was harder to catch than anyone—was sitting here, laughing and having dinner with Lydia.
Carter noticed Rosie’s stormy expression. His brow creased just a little, and annoyance flickered in his eyes, but he stood up politely. “Miss Gibson, what brings you here?”
Rosie swept up to his side and made sure to block his view of Lydia, putting on a sweet, pouty act. “Carter, I’m just here for a girls’ night with my friends. I can’t believe we ran into you.” She shot Lydia a cold, dismissive look. “Oh, it’s you, Lydia. Carter, when did you start hanging out with her?”
Carter wasn’t expecting Rosie to be so rude. His voice turned chilly. “Miss Gibson, Lydia is here because I invited her. Please show some respect.”
Honestly, Carter and Rosie barely knew each other. They’d met once at a medical dinner. After that, Rosie messaged him about some medical question, and he’d helped her out a few times. Ever since, she’d been calling him like they were close, and he found it exhausting.

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...
