Mona put on her best shy, wounded look. “Grandpa Samuel, I’ve been in love with Mikey since forever. I hope you’ll let us be together.”
Right next to her, Mikey’s brow creased. He wanted nothing to do with Mona.
Grandpa Samuel lifted his teacup and took a slow sip, something unreadable flickering in his old eyes. “Mrs. Brown, I think it’s best to let the kids figure things out themselves. Mikey and Mona barely know each other. Rushing into marriage would be unwise. Why don’t we let them spend some time together first? If it turns out they’re a good match, I won’t stand in their way.”
Mrs. Brown frowned. That was not the answer she wanted. She’d swallowed her pride to bring Mona here today, hoping to lock in a marriage as quickly as possible. Now the old man was dodging the question. But she couldn’t push too hard. If the Jeffersons decided to ignore her daughter’s reputation, she’d have no way out.
So she forced a polite smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Of course, Mr. Jefferson, you’re absolutely right. Mona’s feelings for Mikey are real, though. I hope you won’t let her down.”
The moment she heard Grandpa Samuel soften, Mona lit up. She shot Lydia a nasty glare. Mikey was hers, and Lydia had better not even think about getting in the way.
She clung to Mikey’s arm and gave him a sweet, wheedling look. “Mikey, Grandpa already agreed to let us try. You can’t let me down. From now on, you need to stay away from Lydia. I don’t want her messing up what we have.”
She said it loudly enough so everyone could hear, making sure both Grandpa Samuel and Lydia got the message. She was claiming her territory.

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...
