A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

John’s lips were slightly pursed.

Cordy was even tougher than he imagined.

But what did she have to go through to gain such perseverance?

As his long fingers tapped on his phone screen for a while and finished drafting the message, he hesitated to send it.

He more or less understood now why Cordy would keep him at arm’s reach.

After experiencing the sheer cruelty of her reality, she would never come to trust anyone easily.

John’s phone suddenly started ringing just then, and he answered it impatiently after glancing at the caller ID.

“Bob,” he growled.

“Did you see the livestream of Cordy Sachs‘ press conference?!” Bob Davis exclaimed excitedly.

“I did.”

“Holy sh*t! That slap in the face was as clean as it was devastating! I actually think I’m in love now.

John started to scowl right then, even as Bob continued happily. “By the way, are you hitting it off with her yet? We saw you stand up for her during your grandfather’s birthday banquet, but it’s like nothing has come of that ever since. So? What’s going on between you two? If you still can’t seal the deal, you’d find an eager volunteer in me-”

“I was just having dinner with your dad the other day,” John suddenly said. “He told me about his plans to send you abroad for further studies, and was asking which university would be best for you.”

“I’m so sorry, boss. I’m just sayin‘, y’know?” Bob quickly said. “I’d never covet a brother’s wife.”

Bob hated studying the most–getting a local university degree nearly killed him, and he would die before having to get a doctorate from a foreign university!

“Anyway, I was just calling about your birthday,” Bob said, changing the subject right then. You’ll be 28 in a couple days, so why don’t you come out and celebrate with your brothers?”

John glanced at the calendar on his desk.

The day after tomorrow, huh?
