This little guy...
Connor watched the two of them snuggled up together, and he felt that familiar twinge of jealousy. He couldn’t help moving closer. “Sweetheart, Daddy misses Mommy too. Can I have a hug?”
Immediately, Kristopher burrowed his head into Lydia’s neck and mumbled, “No! Mommy is mine!”
Lydia couldn’t help but laugh at their antics. She reached out to ruffle her son’s hair, then stretched her other hand toward Connor.
He got the hint right away, leaning in so she could cup his cheek. Lydia’s fingers brushed gently over his face. It was a habit she’d had since before she regained her sight, something comforting she still did without thinking.
Connor loved it. Nothing made him feel more at peace than Lydia’s soft touch on his cheek, like he was a puppy finally being soothed.
He knew it looked a little pitiful, but what could he do? Their son was always competing with him for Lydia’s attention.
Suddenly, Connor caught her hand and pressed it to his chest. “Seeing you spoil him so much, I’m actually getting jealous. How about we go home and have another baby, so he can see what that feels like?”
Lydia’s cheeks turned pink. She gave him a playful push. “Are you really jealous of your own son? Grow up a little, will you?”
Kristopher looked up, wide-eyed and curious. “Mommy, what does ‘another baby’ mean? Are you going to give me a little brother or sister?”
Connor grinned and pinched Kristopher’s soft cheek. “That’s right. You’ll have someone to play with.”
Kristopher tilted his head, thinking hard. “Will my little brother or sister take you away from me?”
Connor scooped Kristopher out of Lydia’s arms and into his own. “Let’s go home first. We’ll talk about it there.”
The car pulled up quietly in front of Lydia’s Garden. The rose-covered wall in the yard was bursting with blooms.
As soon as Kristopher’s feet hit the ground, he dashed off on his chubby little legs to tell the news, his clear voice ringing out, “Great-Grandma, Mommy’s home!”
Lydia paused in front of the roses and took a deep breath. The sweet scent of flowers and fresh grass filled the air. She turned to Connor, her eyes shining with love. “It’s so good having you both 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...
