But Connor just turned to Lydia. “Lydia, what do you think?”
Nathaniel almost wanted to nudge Connor and remind him where they were. This was Robinson family turf. Wasn’t he worried about the Norwoods finding out he was flaunting a new girlfriend?
From what Nathaniel knew, his mom and his aunt still chatted on the down low. If his mom caught Connor cheating, she’d run straight to his aunt with the news.
Lydia gave a small nod. “Yeah, that’s good.”
Paul, judging by the look of things, was going to need a lot more than three months to recover from this mess.
Nathaniel could hardly believe his eyes. Was Connor really this whipped? He seriously seemed to listen to his little girlfriend.
Once the guards had dragged Paul away, Nathaniel cleared his throat, trying to sound as gentle as possible. “Connor, don’t get me wrong, but isn’t it a bit risky bringing your girlfriend out to the movies like this? What if someone from the Norwood family does? That wouldn’t look great, would it?”
Lydia just raised an eyebrow.
Elliot, who hadn’t said a word this whole time, finally snapped. He yanked off his mask and shot Nathaniel a glare. “And what exactly would be so bad about the Norwoods seeing them together?”
Elliot’s sudden outburst made Nathaniel jump. He blinked and stared. Yep, that was definitely Elliot.
Wait, what?
“Why are you here?” Nathaniel was honestly confused.
Elliot was Lucinda’s own brother. Shouldn’t he be pissed about Connor cheating on his sister? Why was he just standing here, acting like nothing was wrong?
Elliot rolled his eyes. “Your theater’s open to everyone, isn’t it? Why can’t I be here?”
Nathaniel kept staring, then cleared his throat again. “Okay, but why are you here with Connor?” What he really wanted to say was, Don’t you have anything to say about Connor bringing another girl to the movies?
