Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 1158
Connor was quiet for a long time, clearly wrestling with something, but in the end he just couldn't spit it out. He wanted to ask Lydia how she knew Carter, when they’d met, but he was worried she’d get upset if he brought it up. She might think he didn’t trust her. Still, if he didn’t ask, the question just kept gnawing at him. It was driving him crazy.
Of course, Lydia could easily tell what he was thinking. She let out a soft laugh. “Brody had a birthday party, remember? Mrs. Shaw asked me to paint something for her. Carter came by to pick up the painting, I didn’t take any money, so he offered to treat me to a meal to say thanks. That’s all there is to it, believe it or not.”
Hearing that, Connor couldn’t help but grin, relief flooding through him. “Of course I believe you. I trust you completely. Well, I don’t even know what Rosie was thinking. There’s no way Carter could ever compare to me. Why would you even be interested in him?”
He barely finished talking before Lydia shot back, “Well, he is younger than you. He looks a bit fresher, too.”
Connor stared at her, lost for words. Sure, he used to be young and fresh, too. Now he was just… matured.
“Lydia, I miss you,” he said.
She just raised an eyebrow. “Then keep missing me.”
Connor laughed under his breath, about to say something else, but someone knocked on Lydia’s door. They had to end the video call, and Connor was left staring at his phone, wishing whoever interrupted would have picked a better time.
“Lydia, the Gibson family is here,” Tina called from outside.
Lydia’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. She’d expected the Gibsons to come around eventually to ask for forgiveness, but she didn’t think they’d show up so soon. Guess their nerves weren’t as strong as she’d thought.

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
