Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 344

Connor’s expression instantly shifted, his brows knitting together. “Chris?”

“Yeah. He’s already asked a few times, so I figured I’d go tonight after work.”

“I’m coming with you.” Connor didn’t even pause. He tried not to control her life, but if she was going, he was too.

Lydia raised an eyebrow. “You want to come?”

He nodded. “I’ve never actually seen you race. Take me with you.”

Connor could handle a motorcycle himself, but with his eyesight, it was safer if Lydia drove.

She couldn’t really say no. “Alright.”

If she pushed back any more, he might actually lose it.

By six, Lydia had wrapped up her work. Since she wouldn’t be in tomorrow, she went over everything with Josef again before heading out.

First, she needed to swing by home to change and grab her gear. Then she’d stop by Jefferson Group to pick up Connor.

On her way back to the Norwood estate, her mom called.

“When will you be home from work? Should we wait for you to eat?”

“Don’t wait up, Mom. I won’t be home tonight. I’m going riding with some friends.” Lydia kept it vague.

Kylie and Cameron had always been open-minded. As long as Lydia was happy, they never stood in her way.

Lucinda was fuming. The burn from earlier still hurt, and listening to her parents praise Lydia any more would make her lose her mind.

“I’m going to check if Grandpa’s awake,” she muttered.

The old man hadn’t been sleeping well in the hospital lately. He’d come home at four, eaten a little, and had been napping ever since.

Not long after Lucinda disappeared down the hall, Lydia came through the door.

Kylie rushed over to her, taking Lydia’s hand. “Sweetheart, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat before you head out?”

Lydia smiled, shaking her head. “I’m okay, Mom. I’m meeting Chris, his teammates, and Connor. We’re grabbing food together.”

Chris said Wind Canyon was gorgeous at night. He and his team were bringing barbecue supplies, so they could have a picnic under the stars.
