But Connor just turned to Lydia. “Lydia, what do you think?”
Nathaniel almost wanted to nudge Connor and remind him where they were. This was Robinson family turf. Wasn’t he worried about the Norwoods finding out he was flaunting a new girlfriend?
From what Nathaniel knew, his mom and his aunt still chatted on the down low. If his mom caught Connor cheating, she’d run straight to his aunt with the news.
Lydia gave a small nod. “Yeah, that’s good.”
Paul, judging by the look of things, was going to need a lot more than three months to recover from this mess.
Nathaniel could hardly believe his eyes. Was Connor really this whipped? He seriously seemed to listen to his little girlfriend.
Once the guards had dragged Paul away, Nathaniel cleared his throat, trying to sound as gentle as possible. “Connor, don’t get me wrong, but isn’t it a bit risky bringing your girlfriend out to the movies like this? What if someone from the Norwood family does? That wouldn’t look great, would it?”
Lydia just raised an eyebrow.
Elliot, who hadn’t said a word this whole time, finally snapped. He yanked off his mask and shot Nathaniel a glare. “And what exactly would be so bad about the Norwoods seeing them together?”
Elliot’s sudden outburst made Nathaniel jump. He blinked and stared. Yep, that was definitely Elliot.
Wait, what?
“Why are you here?” Nathaniel was honestly confused.
Elliot was Lucinda’s own brother. Shouldn’t he be pissed about Connor cheating on his sister? Why was he just standing here, acting like nothing was wrong?
Elliot rolled his eyes. “Your theater’s open to everyone, isn’t it? Why can’t I be here?”
Nathaniel kept staring, then cleared his throat again. “Okay, but why are you here with Connor?” What he really wanted to say was, Don’t you have anything to say about Connor bringing another girl to the movies?
“Don’t think you can tell me off just because you’re older. What about you? Are you actually doing anything worthwhile?”
Elliot snorted. “And who says I’m not?”
“If you were, you wouldn’t be here at the movies with them. Since when did the Norwood family start kissing up to the Jeffersons? That’s what I call embarrassing.”
Elliot bristled. “You better explain yourself right now. How am I embarrassing? And since when do the Norwoods answer to the Jeffersons?”
Nathaniel just chuckled and gave Lydia a sideways glance. “You really can’t see what’s going on between Connor and this girl?”
Elliot shot right back, “Are you blind? Of course I know what’s going on.”
Nathaniel was left completely speechless. There were just no words for this level of denial.

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...
