A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1071

In the Lynds' car, Keith—Nana's father—was pondering to himself for a while as he watched the car ahead before saying, "Mom, don't you think Sean is playing us?"

Jean looked at her son then.

She was no pushover since she had seen action herself for years, and while she trusted Sean at first, she was now skeptical of Sean's true motives.

Keith was skeptical. "But we've been so careful…"

He then told the chauffeur exasperatedly, "Let's head home."

The car promptly turned around and sped off.

Sean had been keeping an eye on their car, and seeing that they were driving away, he knew that the window he bought for John stopped here.

After some thought, he called the Lynds anyway.

Keith checked the caller ID and said, "It's Sean."

"I'll answer it." Jean took the phone immediately.

"Keith—"
