Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 530

Lydia let out a little hum. “They value their own lives a lot.”

“Alright, alright, I get it. But hey, babe, Ethan told me you’re in a relationship now. Is that for real? Are we talking about someone chasing you, or is he an actual boyfriend?”

Juna had only learned about Lydia’s new romance because she’d talked to Ethan on the phone, who let it slip that Lydia had been in France with her boyfriend.

A boyfriend? Juna was dying to know. Who could possibly win over their ice queen?

Lydia thought for a moment. “I’ll introduce you one day.”

That was all Juna needed for confirmation. “No way. You’re serious?”

“We’ll talk when we meet.”

Lydia hung up. Connor, who was walking beside her, tried to hide his smile.

She shot him a look. “You are just my boyfriend. Don’t get too excited.”

The message was clear. If Connor didn’t step up, the boyfriend title could be gone in a heartbeat.

Connor gently took her hand, his voice steady. “I’d do anything to make you a part of my family.”

She got Connor settled in, then drove back to the Norwood house. As soon as she pulled up, her phone rang again. She glanced at the screen. Ethan. Lydia raised an eyebrow. She already had a feeling Jenson was acting up.

Sure enough, the moment she answered, Ethan sounded completely exasperated. “Lydia, your adoptive father is making a scene at the office. He’s saying we’re out to get him, and he insists on seeing you. He even climbed onto the skylight and says if you don’t show, he’ll jump down from there. Honestly, I don’t know what to do anymore. Can you tell me?”
