Ready to Rule The Real Heiress Strikes Back (Lydia and Connor) novel Chapter 1213
“Dad, Mom, Mikey said yes. He’s coming over today!”
Mrs. Brown set down her fork, her whole face lighting up with excitement. “That’s wonderful news! Mona, you have to dress up today. Make sure Mikey gets a good impression of you.”
Mona nodded right away, then turned to her dad, Reed, her eyes sparkling with hope. She spoke in that half-sweet, half-commanding voice she always used when she wanted something. “Dad, you’re not allowed to go anywhere today. You have to stay home and welcome Mikey. This is our chance. I want you to help settle things and lock down my engagement with him.”
She sounded so sure of herself, like the whole thing was already settled and just waiting for the final ribbon.
Reed put his fork down and frowned at her, his voice gentle but firm. “Mona, you need to be a bit more reserved. Marriage is something the man’s family should bring up first. We shouldn’t be too forward.”
He might have been busy with work all the time, but Reed had always spoiled his only daughter. Even when Mona did some questionable things to chase after Mikey, he’d scolded her but never really stopped her. Luckily, the Jefferson family seemed to have eased up and were open to the match, so he didn’t stand in the way. Of course, Reed didn’t know everything. Mona and Mrs. Brown had kept plenty of secrets from him. Like the time in the Capital when they’d gone straight to the Jeffersons to demand answers. He had no idea. He thought Mikey had just stepped up and agreed to date Mona because he wanted to. Still, he felt that when it came to marriage, a girl shouldn’t be the one rushing things.
“I don’t care!” Mona stomped her foot, her voice rising in protest. “I want you to bring it up today. Mikey already agreed to come. This is the perfect chance. If we don’t do it now, who knows when we’ll get another shot.”
Reed watched her, guilt and regret written all over his face. “Mona, this visit is a big deal. I can’t just skip it. But I’ll come back as soon as I can, I promise. I’ll try my best to be here when Mikey arrives.”
“You always say that.” Mona turned away, her back to him. “Go ahead, then. You obviously don’t care about my marriage. When Mikey shows up and you’re not here, he’ll think our family doesn’t really care about him. If the engagement falls through, don’t blame me.”
Mrs. Brown hurried to smooth things over. “Mona, don’t talk to your father like that. He can’t help it. This is work, and it really can’t wait. You just focus on getting ready. Who knows, maybe your dad will be back by the time Mikey gets here.”

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...
