Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 106

Last time she’d gone to the hospital, Lydia had overheard Grandpa Samuel and Chris talking. Apparently, Connor still had some old injuries.

Connor straightened up and gave her a little shrug. “I’m good now. Thanks to you.”

If he hadn’t bumped into Lydia at Highridge that day, he honestly had no idea where he’d be right now. Maybe it was just fate.

Since Connor didn’t bring up his injuries, Lydia decided not to ask. She figured he’d let her know when he really needed her help.

“Let’s head back up. We shouldn’t keep everyone waiting.”

“Hold on a second.”

Lydia arched an eyebrow. “What’s up?”

“Can I have your phone? Let me save my number,” Connor said, holding out his hand.

She hesitated, then pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and passed it to him.

Connor dialed his own number from her phone, then quickly saved his contact as: fiancé.

Lydia stared at the screen, exasperated.

Connor just smiled, his eyes twinkling as he handed her phone back. “All set. I’ll message you tonight.”

Lydia grabbed her phone and walked off without a word. Connor grinned and followed, keeping pace beside her.

As they walked out of the little park together, Sandy—who’d been hidden in a shadowy corner, mid-kiss—suddenly froze, her breath catching as she watched them.
