Grace’s words made Lucinda shrink back a little. She tried to explain, “Grace, she didn’t mean to hurt me.”
Grace let out a sigh. “Alright, Lucinda. If you really want to fix things with Lydia, I won’t get in the way. Let’s just see how she treats you from now on.”
Lucinda twisted her fingers nervously, feeling a sudden wave of doubt. What if her sister never forgave her?
Lydia gathered a few things, slung her bag over her shoulder, and hurried out the door. She nearly bumped into Blake, who was just coming home from work.
He noticed her tense expression right away. “Lydia, did something happen?”
She forced a small smile. “It’s nothing. I’m just going to check on Connor.”
Blake hesitated, then asked, “How’s his injury?”
“He’s a lot better.”
“Good. If you need anything, call me.”
“I will.”
But when Lydia got to Connor’s villa, she found out he wasn’t there.
Right away, she sensed something was wrong. She turned to the butler, her voice sharp. “He’s still recovering. Where did he go?”
The butler hesitated. “Mr. Jefferson said it was business. We’re just staff, so we don’t ask too many questions.”
Lydia’s brow furrowed. “How long ago did he leave?”
“About an hour.”
