Lydia arched an eyebrow. “You mean Aunt from the Robinson family?”
Kylie laughed. “Yeah, that’s right.” She hesitated for a moment, then said, “It’s just your aunt. No one else. She’s not the kind of person who likes to gossip, so there’s really nothing to worry about if you meet her.”
Lydia blinked, thinking back to a couple of days ago when Nathaniel had asked Elliot for her number and invited her to dinner. She’d been swamped with work and told him maybe in a few days.
“Okay,” she agreed.
Kylie’s face lit up. “Perfect.”
Lucinda’s hands tightened in her lap. If Lydia went, wouldn’t everyone find out she wasn’t their real daughter?
But then she remembered, their aunt wasn’t a talker. Even if she found out that Lydia was the true Norwood heiress, she wouldn’t spread it around, and definitely wouldn’t tell their uncle or grandparents. Besides, the families barely spoke anyway. There was really no reason to panic.
“Lydia, did you finish arranging things for Luke’s school?” Cameron asked. He remembered Lydia mentioning that Connor was helping find a school for Luke.
Luke had been in his last year of middle school when the accident happened, and he’d missed the high school entrance exams. After Lydia talked with him, he’d agreed to repeat the year and try again the following year.
“Yeah, Connor already took care of it.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Lucinda gripped her spoon tighter. Connor would personally handle something so small? It was hard to believe.
After breakfast, Lydia didn’t head to the office. She drove herself to the villa that Jenson and Milana had bought out in the suburbs.
Luke had moved there after getting out of the hospital.
All the old staff had left, so Lydia had hired some new people herself to take care of him.
The villa felt emptier and much quieter than it used to.
