Connor’s face clouded over. “What’s the point of having you around?”
Aiden felt his heart jump into his throat. “Boss, I’ll check it out right away!”
Seriously, how was this his fault? Ever since they got back to the country, Connor had been completely wrapped up in his love life. Aiden was so busy he barely had time to breathe, let alone deal with everything else.
How could he have guessed that Jay would sneak off to Capital Med School to be Lydia’s instructor?
Connor let out a cold snort. “If this happens again, you can go spend some time reflecting on your mistakes.”
Aiden straightened up, nodding hard. “Yes, Boss!”
Reflect on his mistakes was a glorified way to say he’s getting shipped off to somewhere far away.
That afternoon, everyone was practicing with light firearms.
Daisy was the first to step up. She gripped the gun with total confidence, standing tall at the firing line, eyes locked on the center of the target.
A sharp crack split the air.
The scent of gunpowder wafted around them.
Everyone leaned in, counting the rings. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
“Oh my god, eight rings!”
“Daisy hit the eight!”
“No way. I’m lucky if I hit a two or three. I had no idea she could shoot like that.”
For anyone new to shooting, the target was split into ten rings, with the bullseye at ten. That’s where you want to hit, the mark of perfect aim. The numbers went down as you moved out from the center, all the way to one, which basically meant you barely hit the target at all.
“Yeah, Felix, show the girls what we’re made of!”
Felix grinned, grabbed the gun, and took his time aiming. After a long pause, he muttered, “I’m nervous.”
Everyone groaned and started teasing him, saying they should pick someone else.
Jay cut in, “This is just practice, but make the most of it. Your scores will count in the end.”
Felix complained, “It’s not that I can’t shoot, I just get stage fright with all the girls watching.”
The whole group burst into laughter.
They figured he was just joking around, but to their shock, Felix really did hit a nine, just a hair away from the center.
“Felix, you’re the man!”

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...
