Caspian had been waiting for Lucinda to call or text him lately. He actually already had a flight booked for later that afternoon, so when he saw her name pop up on his phone, it caught him completely off guard.
Lucinda reaching out for help could only mean one thing—she wasn't mad at him anymore. This was his chance. Maybe he could finally get close to her again, or even fix things between them.
He read her message twice, then answered right away.
[Of course, Lucinda. Where are you? I’ll come pick up the phone.]
Lucinda sent her location and he replied immediately.
[Wait for me. I’ll be right there.]
He jumped up from the couch, barely able to keep still. Mrs. Hansen glanced over, thinking he was getting ready to leave for his flight.
“It’s early, you know,” she said. “Your plane doesn’t leave until three. What’s the rush?”
He called out as he headed for the stairs. “Mom, I’m not leaving today. I’m canceling the flight. I just need to go out for a bit.”
He didn’t wait for her to answer. He dashed upstairs, heart pounding. If he was going to see Lucinda, he had to look good, but he had to be quick about it. She hated waiting for people.
Mrs. Hansen watched him go, her brow furrowed with worry. She hadn’t seen him this animated in ages. Ever since he and Lucinda broke up, he’d been so quiet. Now, all that excitement was back. Was it because of Lucinda?
She hadn’t stood in his way before. She knew how much he liked Lucinda. But after their breakup, it was obvious Lucinda didn’t care about him the same way. To her, he’d just been a backup plan.
And now he was running back to her all over again. Mrs. Hansen couldn’t help feeling frustrated. Even if Lucinda was the daughter of the Norwood family, she didn’t want her son getting involved with her anymore.
Caspian reappeared five minutes later, looking sharp and put together. As he rushed for the door, Mrs. Hansen called out, “Where are you going? Who are you meeting?”

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...
