Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 473
Chris had been trying to keep it together all afternoon, but now he was practically shaking with laughter. Seeing Connor—usually the picture of self-control—get so thoroughly put in his place was more than he could handle. Weston and the others were barely holding it in too, faces stiff as they fought not to burst out laughing. Watching the legendary cold-faced king of the capital get jealous? None of them were ever going to forget it.
Cameron and Kylie came back from the restroom and immediately noticed Jay was missing.
“Lydia, where’s Jay?” Kylie asked, glancing around.
“He left,” Lydia answered, her voice casual.
Cameron looked surprised. “Already? We were hoping to invite him to dinner at Blake’s tonight.”
Lydia shrugged. “Don’t worry about him.”
“Well, okay then. Connor, Chris, why don’t you two come to Blake’s for dinner with us? Lucinda’s already there, practicing piano.” Blake’s villa had a grand piano, so Lucinda had gone over earlier to practice.
Chris shook his head quickly. “Thanks, Mr. Norwood, but we’ve already got plans for tonight. Team event.”
Cameron and Kylie turned to Connor. “What about you, Connor?”
Before he could answer, Lydia spoke up. “He’s eating out with me tonight.”
Connor stared at her, surprised. How did she know exactly what he wanted? He’d been hoping for some time alone with her all day.
Cameron and Kylie exchanged a knowing look and smiled. “Alright, have fun, you two.”
When everyone finally left, Connor let out a huge breath, relief flooding through him. He pulled Lydia into his arms, holding her close.
“So, what’s up with Jay? Is he really your distant cousin?” His voice was quiet, but the jealousy was obvious.
Lydia gave him a little smile. “What do you think?”
Connor pressed her gently up against the trunk of a nearby tree, his eyes narrowing. “I don’t care if he’s your cousin or not. I don’t want you even looking at him.”
Lydia arched her brow. “Oh? And what’s that?”
He tilted his face toward her, the meaning crystal clear. If you kiss me, I’ll let it go.
Lydia rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help grinning at how childish he was sometimes.
Connor waited, humming a little impatiently when she didn’t move. “Hmm?”
Finally, Lydia rose up on her toes and pressed a soft, barely-there kiss to his cheek.
Her lips were warm and sweet, and the second they touched his skin, Connor’s heart went wild. When she pulled back, a wave of desire hit him hard. It wasn’t enough.
He caught her around the waist, holding her tight as he bent down and kissed her, slow and deep, tasting her lips like he never wanted to stop.
Aiden, who was sitting in the car nearby, nearly had a heart attack. Oh my god. Was his boss really just going for it? Kissing her in broad daylight, right on the side of the road?

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...
