Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 137

At exactly six in the evening, Lydia shut down her computer and started packing up for the night. Her phone buzzed just as she was about to leave. It was Kylie.

“Hey, Mom.”

“Lydia, are you done for the day? Your grandfather’s doing well, so you can just head straight home after work. Your dad and I will be home soon too.”

Lydia hesitated for a second. “Mom, I’m not coming home for dinner tonight.”

“Oh? Why not? Another date with Connor?” Kylie blurted out before she could stop herself.

Kylie realized how that sounded and quickly tried to fix it. “No, I just mean… it’s good for you two to spend time together.”

“It’s not about him. I want to go to Lakeview Town tonight and check on Grandma.”

The moment Kylie heard she was visiting Mrs. Smith, her tone softened. “Oh, I see. Lydia, why don’t your dad and I come with you? We’ve been meaning to visit her anyway, and we should really thank her for everything she’s done for you.”

Jenson and Milana might not have taken care of their daughter, but Mrs. Smith had always treated her with genuine kindness. Kylie and Cameron had never forgotten that.

“That’s okay. I’m just dropping off some medicine for her leg. I’ll be back soon.”

Kylie thought for a moment. “Alright, Lydia. We’ll go together another day and bring a proper gift.”

“Sounds good.”

“Oh, and Lydia, the drive to Lakeview Town is kind of far. Let me have Jack take you. It’s safer if you don’t go alone,” Kylie said, still worried.
