Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 281

“I’ll give you a checkup another day.”

Connor looked at her, concern softening his voice. “You have enough on your plate already. I don’t want you getting worn out. I found a doctor for myself. I’ll just let them take a look.”

Lydia blinked, putting two and two together. Miracle Hands. Connor was so determined to see this legendary doctor, she figured she might as well let him go for it.

“Alright, take care on the road,” she said.

Before leaving, Connor pulled her close, holding her gently for a moment. He pressed a kiss to her temple, lingering there, reluctant to let go. Then he finally released her and got into the car.

Aiden, waiting behind the wheel, watched the whole thing with a bit of envy. Connor and Lydia looked picture-perfect together. He’d already finished the assignment from the old man, though, so he didn’t dare sneak another shot.

As soon as Connor was settled, Aiden started the engine, ready to go, but Connor stopped him. “Wait.”

Aiden turned, puzzled. “What’s up, Boss?”

Connor took his time, pulling out his phone, tapping it a couple of times, then showing the screen to Aiden.

Aiden’s mind went blank in an instant.

“You took this?” Connor’s voice was calm and cold as usual.

Connor figured out that Aiden was the only one who could have taken the photo, especially from that angle.

“B... Boss...” His voice shook, his palms growing sweaty. He was done for. Was he about to get shipped off somewhere remote?
