A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1116

"Sean Cranston…"

"There you go." Sean had put Patrick in the car before he could finish, leaving him grumpy for some reason.

Cordy was watching as the entire interaction took place and wondered if she was imagining things.

Why else did she have this nagging, indescribable feeling?

"Cordy?" Patrick called out to her.

"Oh," Cordy murmured and quickly gathered herself—her thoughts had certainly been a little questionable.

After they returned to Cranston Hall, they sent Patrick to his room.

After settling everything for him, Cordy returned to her room.

She had been working online most of the time lately, and there was a video conference soon.

She studied the various agenda to be discussed and practiced how to convey her opinion with precision.

However, someone opened her door while she did, and she looked up to find Richard gingerly carrying a glass of coffee into her room.

While Cordy had been taking care of Patrick, Richard was spending his time with John, so they rarely met.

Seeing him now actually left Cordy guilty—she had definitely been neglecting Richard even though she promised John she would always take good care of him.

Now that she was about to marry, she was already leaving Richard to his own devices.

"Mommy, are you busy?" he asked as he put her coffee on his table.

"Thank you," Cordy smiled. "I have a video conference in half an hour."

"Then I won't impose," he said in understanding.
