Paige nodded. “We’re all set. What took you so long today?”
Lucinda rushed to answer, before Kylie or Cameron could mention dropping Lydia off first. “The traffic was a nightmare. Which dorms did you two get into?”
Paige shrugged. “Not together, unfortunately.”
“That’s okay. At least we’re all at the same school.”
“Lucinda, you should go get your registration done. We’re going to check out our rooms.”
Lucinda let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Alright.”
Paige and Leila waved to Kylie and Cameron, then headed off to find their dorm building.
On the way, Leila leaned in and whispered, “Do you think Lucinda ever told Cameron or Kylie about that goddaughter of theirs trying to hook up with Connor?”
Paige shook her head. “She never replied to my message that day. I didn’t want to push it and make her feel worse. But, she seems fine today.”
Leila sighed. “Well, her fiancé is Connor. Some things you just can’t avoid.”
Lucinda finished registering and made her way to the dorm. Since she arrived late, her three other roommates were already there. Their beds were made, and they were busy unpacking when Lucinda walked in.
Since men weren’t allowed in the girls’ dorm, it took the dorm supervisor and a few student volunteers two trips to haul all of Lucinda’s luggage inside. When her roommates saw the pile of bags and suitcases blocking the hallway, they just stared, completely stunned. The room was tiny. How could one person bring so much stuff? It was almost ridiculous.
Kylie gave them an apologetic smile. “Sorry, we might have, um, overpacked a little.”
Lucinda turned to Kylie. “Mom, Dad’s still waiting for you outside, and it’s getting really hot. You should go. I can handle the rest.”
Her three roommates joined in politely. “She’s right, Mrs. Norwood. We’ll help Lucinda get settled. Don’t keep Mr. Norwood waiting.”
After Kylie left, the girls immediately started gushing over Lucinda.
Hannah sighed. “Lucinda, I’m so jealous. Your parents are so sweet. Mine are always working. They didn’t even have time to bring me to campus.”
Evelyn added, “Seriously, you’re so lucky. Your parents clearly adore you. Mine only care about my little brother.”
Mia grinned at Lucinda, her eyes sparkling. “Hey, rumor has it your fiancé is Connor Jefferson. Did he come drop you off today?”

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...
