Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 949

It was nine in the evening when Connor drove Lydia home to the Norwood place. As she reached for the door, he caught her hand and pulled her back, holding on like he never wanted to let go.

"Your break starts tomorrow," he said, looking at her with a hopeful grin. "Where do you want to go? I'll take you anywhere."

Lydia was always busy. Now that she finally had a real holiday, Connor just wanted her to forget everything and have some fun, maybe relax for once.

But Lydia shook her head. "I'm busy. I don't have time."

For her, time off hardly made a difference. No matter the day, there was always a never-ending list of things waiting for her.

Connor looked disappointed. "Not even just one day? Tomorrow?"

She cleared her throat. "Tomorrow really isn't possible."

He didn't give up. "What about the day after?"

Lydia looked at him, this man desperately craving her attention, and finally nodded. "Okay. The day after tomorrow."

She was about to step out, but Connor pulled her into his arms again and kissed her deeply.

Up front, Aiden gripped the steering wheel and stared straight ahead, pretending to be invisible. This was awkward. Was there time to raise the privacy screen? Connor really could have given him a heads-up.

The kiss ended. Lydia pushed Connor away and hopped out of the car.

"Get lost!"

He never knew when to stop. One kiss was never enough for him.

Connor watched her run off, a crooked smile playing on his lips. So she did have moments when she got flustered.

The second Lydia walked through the front door, she felt everyone's eyes on her.
