Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 626

Connor arched an eyebrow, sounding completely unfazed. “I’m your brother-in-law.”

Luke blinked, thrown off. Wait, what was going on?

Connor tugged Lydia closer, his arm slipping around her. “I’m your sister’s fiancé. Got it?”

Luke’s eyes grew huge. “Brother-in-law?” He glanced at Lydia, looking for confirmation.

Lydia nodded. “Yeah. He’s your brother-in-law.”

Luke’s voice was hesitant. “Alright.”

Connor looked pleased. “You’re tired. Don’t overthink it. Go get some rest in your room. Lydia and I will come check on you tomorrow.”

Luke nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Lydia drove Connor back to his place. As soon as they pulled up, Connor got a little clingy. “Stay with me tonight.”

Lydia shot him a look. “Are you three years old or something? Can’t sleep without someone next to you?”

Connor took her hand and twined their fingers, not letting go. “Just pretend I am.”

Lydia smirked. “Aren’t you worried Elliot might show up looking for you?”

Connor went quiet.

Lydia’s tone softened, surprisingly gentle. “Be good.”

Connor really didn’t want to let go, but picturing Elliot showing up at his door with a knife was enough to get him out of the car. He couldn’t afford to mess up right now. He needed the Norwood family to have a good impression of him.

“Drive safe,” he said.
