Chapter 1137
Richard called out to him in surprise. “Daddy?!”
On the other hand, Cordy turned away in a split second.
John did the same. “Yeah.”
“When did you come back?” Richard asked excitedly.
John headed downstairs and walked up to them “Just did.”
“Where have you been? Why didn’t you contact me? Your replies were half-hearted, too,” Richard huffed, clearly upset. “I thought you’d gone missing again.”
“I had something to do.”
“Your face is back now,” Richard pointed out in surprise just then.
He was busy complaining about John being distant to him and only noticed just then that John’s face was much better.
There were no burn marks to be seen, and most importantly, John’s original appearance was restored, and he no longer looked like Lucas Lynch.
“Yeah,” John replied again, and glanced at Cordy.
Her eyes were glued to her phone and she was not looking at him again. He actually had the feeling that she did not get a good look at him when they traded glances for a second.
“Are you leaving later, Daddy?” Richard asked eagerly.
“No.”
“Will you be staying in North City from now on?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’m staying here too,” Richard quickly said.
“Okay.” John nodded.
With that, father and son kept chatting, while Cordy never said a word or looked up throughout until Nancy emerged from the kitchen at the back. “Oh, you’re up already, Johnny? I called Cordy and Dicky, since I miss them and it’s been a while, and you happen to be here too. Don’t you miss Daddy too, Dicky?”
“Yeah.” Richard nodded repeatedly.
