It was nine in the evening when Connor drove Lydia home to the Norwood place. As she reached for the door, he caught her hand and pulled her back, holding on like he never wanted to let go.
"Your break starts tomorrow," he said, looking at her with a hopeful grin. "Where do you want to go? I'll take you anywhere."
Lydia was always busy. Now that she finally had a real holiday, Connor just wanted her to forget everything and have some fun, maybe relax for once.
But Lydia shook her head. "I'm busy. I don't have time."
For her, time off hardly made a difference. No matter the day, there was always a never-ending list of things waiting for her.
Connor looked disappointed. "Not even just one day? Tomorrow?"
She cleared her throat. "Tomorrow really isn't possible."
He didn't give up. "What about the day after?"
Lydia looked at him, this man desperately craving her attention, and finally nodded. "Okay. The day after tomorrow."
She was about to step out, but Connor pulled her into his arms again and kissed her deeply.
Up front, Aiden gripped the steering wheel and stared straight ahead, pretending to be invisible. This was awkward. Was there time to raise the privacy screen? Connor really could have given him a heads-up.
The kiss ended. Lydia pushed Connor away and hopped out of the car.
"Get lost!"
He never knew when to stop. One kiss was never enough for him.
Connor watched her run off, a crooked smile playing on his lips. So she did have moments when she got flustered.
The second Lydia walked through the front door, she felt everyone's eyes on her.

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...
