Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 226
“Come on, tell me if you like any of these.”
Connor pulled Lydia over to the small dining table and started setting out all the dishes he’d kept warm for her.
Lydia’s eyes widened at the display. Her stomach practically started growling. There was pan-seared French foie gras, black truffle soup, sizzling black pepper steak, plus chocolate mousse, tiramisu, a fruit platter, fruit tea, and even milk.
It was basically a feast for royalty.
“Eat while it’s hot.”
Connor grabbed a ladle and poured her a steaming bowl of pumkin soup.
Lydia looked at him and said, “You should have some too.”
She picked up her utensils, sliced her steak in half, and moved half to another plate for Connor.
Connor couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright.”
Honestly, he hadn’t eaten dinner either. He’d been waiting for her all this time, and Lydia could tell, which was why she’d made him eat with her. Still, even as a grown man, Connor didn’t eat as much as Lydia.
Lydia was really hungry. She sat across from Connor and ate without a hint of pretense, not a trace of the fake daintiness you’d expect from a pampered heiress.
Connor watched her, and his usually cold eyes softened completely. The way she enjoyed her dinner so happily made him feel more satisfied than closing any billion-dollar deal.
Every now and then, Lydia glanced up at him. She couldn’t help but think he was ridiculously good-looking, like some piece of art the gods had taken their sweet time sculpting. One look from him could probably make a thousand girls swoon.
“Are you full?”
Connor’s voice was gentle as he watched her set down her fork.
Lydia grinned. “I’m stuffed. You barely ate anything, though.”
Most of the food had ended up in her stomach.
“I’m not hungry.”
“Thank you for dinner.”
She was used to this life, honestly.
Connor leaned down and pressed a light kiss to her forehead. His cool, gentle lips seemed to go straight to her heart, making it skip a beat.
“See you,” he said, letting her go, though he clearly didn’t want to.
Lydia nodded. “Drive safe.”
Connor waited until he couldn’t see her anymore before getting back in the car and heading off.
On the way back, he asked Aiden, “Did you find Miracle Hands? What did they say?”
Aiden looked troubled. “Boss, I’m still checking if they’re legit or not.”
Connor raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“They wouldn’t take any deposit and immediately started asking about you, when to meet, where to meet. It just feels off. They don’t seem trustworthy.”

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...
