Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 663

Paige nodded. “We’re all set. What took you so long today?”

Lucinda rushed to answer, before Kylie or Cameron could mention dropping Lydia off first. “The traffic was a nightmare. Which dorms did you two get into?”

Paige shrugged. “Not together, unfortunately.”

“That’s okay. At least we’re all at the same school.”

“Lucinda, you should go get your registration done. We’re going to check out our rooms.”

Lucinda let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Alright.”

Paige and Leila waved to Kylie and Cameron, then headed off to find their dorm building.

On the way, Leila leaned in and whispered, “Do you think Lucinda ever told Cameron or Kylie about that goddaughter of theirs trying to hook up with Connor?”

Paige shook her head. “She never replied to my message that day. I didn’t want to push it and make her feel worse. But, she seems fine today.”

Leila sighed. “Well, her fiancé is Connor. Some things you just can’t avoid.”

Lucinda finished registering and made her way to the dorm. Since she arrived late, her three other roommates were already there. Their beds were made, and they were busy unpacking when Lucinda walked in.

Since men weren’t allowed in the girls’ dorm, it took the dorm supervisor and a few student volunteers two trips to haul all of Lucinda’s luggage inside. When her roommates saw the pile of bags and suitcases blocking the hallway, they just stared, completely stunned. The room was tiny. How could one person bring so much stuff? It was almost ridiculous.

Kylie gave them an apologetic smile. “Sorry, we might have, um, overpacked a little.”

Lucinda turned to Kylie. “Mom, Dad’s still waiting for you outside, and it’s getting really hot. You should go. I can handle the rest.”

Her three roommates joined in politely. “She’s right, Mrs. Norwood. We’ll help Lucinda get settled. Don’t keep Mr. Norwood waiting.”

After Kylie left, the girls immediately started gushing over Lucinda.

Hannah sighed. “Lucinda, I’m so jealous. Your parents are so sweet. Mine are always working. They didn’t even have time to bring me to campus.”

Evelyn added, “Seriously, you’re so lucky. Your parents clearly adore you. Mine only care about my little brother.”

Mia grinned at Lucinda, her eyes sparkling. “Hey, rumor has it your fiancé is Connor Jefferson. Did he come drop you off today?”
