Connor’s expression instantly shifted, his brows knitting together. “Chris?”
“Yeah. He’s already asked a few times, so I figured I’d go tonight after work.”
“I’m coming with you.” Connor didn’t even pause. He tried not to control her life, but if she was going, he was too.
Lydia raised an eyebrow. “You want to come?”
He nodded. “I’ve never actually seen you race. Take me with you.”
Connor could handle a motorcycle himself, but with his eyesight, it was safer if Lydia drove.
She couldn’t really say no. “Alright.”
If she pushed back any more, he might actually lose it.
By six, Lydia had wrapped up her work. Since she wouldn’t be in tomorrow, she went over everything with Josef again before heading out.
First, she needed to swing by home to change and grab her gear. Then she’d stop by Jefferson Group to pick up Connor.
On her way back to the Norwood estate, her mom called.
“When will you be home from work? Should we wait for you to eat?”
“Don’t wait up, Mom. I won’t be home tonight. I’m going riding with some friends.” Lydia kept it vague.
Kylie and Cameron had always been open-minded. As long as Lydia was happy, they never stood in her way.
Lucinda was fuming. The burn from earlier still hurt, and listening to her parents praise Lydia any more would make her lose her mind.
“I’m going to check if Grandpa’s awake,” she muttered.
The old man hadn’t been sleeping well in the hospital lately. He’d come home at four, eaten a little, and had been napping ever since.
Not long after Lucinda disappeared down the hall, Lydia came through the door.
Kylie rushed over to her, taking Lydia’s hand. “Sweetheart, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat before you head out?”
Lydia smiled, shaking her head. “I’m okay, Mom. I’m meeting Chris, his teammates, and Connor. We’re grabbing food together.”
Chris said Wind Canyon was gorgeous at night. He and his team were bringing barbecue supplies, so they could have a picnic under the stars.

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...
