Mona knew her mom was making sense, but she just couldn’t let it go. “You saw what happened. I just wanted to stay a little longer and spend some time with Mikey, but Mr. Jefferson wouldn’t have it.”
Mrs. Brown gave her hand a gentle pat. “Why are you in such a hurry? They’ve already agreed to let you and Mikey be together, but of course they’re still worried. When Mikey comes to Maple Town to visit, things will be on our turf.”
Mona pouted, restless. “But when is he ever going to come see me?”
“These things can’t be rushed. Let’s go back home first. In a couple of days, I’ll call Mikey myself and invite him over. When he comes…” Mrs. Brown leaned in close and whispered something in Mona’s ear. Whatever she said did the trick. Mona’s sulky face broke out into a huge smile, and she happily got in the car with her mom.
Watching the two finally leave, Mikey let out a long, deep breath. Those two were exhausting. If they really became his wife and mother-in-law, he wasn’t sure he’d survive.
Once they were gone, Grandpa Samuel finally turned to Lydia and started asking for details about the Brown family. Lydia shared her thoughts with him and Mikey. “I think someone in the Brown family might have been replaced by a clone. I don’t know who yet, but I need to dig a little more.”
Grandpa Samuel was shocked at first, then his expression turned serious as he clasped his hands tightly. “Clones? So those countries finally went through with it?”
Back when he was still working, Grandpa Samuel had heard rumors that certain countries wanted to develop cloning, but the United Nations shot it down. He never imagined that clones would end up being smuggled into their own country. No wonder Lydia was being so careful. This was serious.
Mikey was just as stunned. He never thought the truth would be this wild. “Lydia, is there anything you need me to do?”
Lydia thought it over. “They’ll probably call you in a few days and ask you to come to Maple Town. When they do, I’ll go with you—quietly.”
Mikey nodded right away. “Okay.”

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...
