Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 476

Lucinda felt a sudden ache in her chest. What was Blake trying to say? Did they really still see her as family, as their own sister? Their actions lately made her doubt everything.

“Lucinda, Blake is right,” Cameron said gently. “We may not be your biological parents, but for eighteen years, we have loved you like our own.”

Lucinda hesitated, her voice soft and uncertain. “Dad, Mom... do you honestly still think of me as your daughter?”

Cameron smiled and ruffled her hair. “Of course we do. Even though your sister is back, you’ll always be our little princess.”

All the tangled emotions inside Lucinda bubbled up. She had so much resentment stored away, yet hearing these words still left her feeling touched.

“Dad, Mom, Blake... as long as you still want me, I’ll always be your daughter and your sister.”

Cameron’s relief was obvious. “That’s what we wanted to hear. Your mom and I heard you playing your new song earlier. You blew us away, Lucinda. Your piano has gotten even better.”

He looked at her with so much warmth that Lucinda felt her heart lift. She knew he truly cared for her, without any reservations. As long as she wanted to be their daughter, she would always belong in the Norwood family.

Her dad’s praise made her beam. Lately, all the compliments seemed to go to Lydia, and it had been weighing on her. She just wanted her parents and brothers to notice her too.

“Really?”

Kylie nodded, her eyes shining. “It was amazing, Lucinda. Tomorrow, you’re going to wow everyone for sure.”
