A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184

Her heart pounding, she looked at the man before her and saw that he was not looking composed either.

In fact, his face was pale, as if he was more scared than she was.

Their eyes met for a couple seconds, but just as Cordy was about to struggle out of John's arms, he scooped her up in his arms.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

"Carrying you back to your room."

"I don't need that. I can walk fine on my own."

"Keep moving, and we’d both fall."

Cordy gritted her teeth, but she had no choice but to take it since she could not move, even though she suffered considerably from it.

Still, John quickly strode up the stairs with her in his arms and took her to her room.

He put her in bed and left immediately after, as if she would sully his modesty if he lingered even for a second.

Cordy pursed her lips.

John was already gone, but she did not get to vent her grief at all!

"You're back already, daddy?" Richard exclaimed in surprise as he watched John come downstairs.

"What silly ideas are you cooking now?" John patted Richard's head as he walked past the boy. "Come on. We're going to Levine Manor."

"Are you sure you're not going to stay? Mommy's drunk—aren't you going to take care of her?"

"She can take care of herself."

"But..."

"Come on."

With that, he left with Richard.
