A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1194

Chapter 1194

"Okay."

Cordy picked up her knife and fork and started eating slowly.

She was going to argue but noticed upon a closer look that the food really were all her favorites.

"You didn't have to make my favorites exclusively," she said, seemingly offhandedly. "I'm not picky with food..."

"I feel guilty imposing on you today, so take this as a token of gratitude."

Cordy said nothing else at that and treated it as an actual polite gesture.

"By the way, didn’t Wendy say she was coming? Why isn't she here?" Richard asked.

Cordy looked up at Richard just then—her son really liked Wendy, did he not?

"She always sleeps in. Leave her be—don't disturb her now," John said flatly.

Cordy somehow thought she heard a tinge of tenderness in his tone.

"Okay." Richard nodded. "What about the afternoon?"

"That depends if she has other arrangements. novelxo She'll be here if there aren't any."

"Okay."

And with that, they finished brunch, with Richard and John conversing intermittently, while Cordy remained silent.

When they were done, she offered, "I'll wash the dishes."

Richard had sent the servants away earlier.

"It's alright," John said politely. "I can do it. You can go about your business."

John was baking something, and Wendy was learning but failing, which caused John and Richard to roar with laughter.

Cordy wondered if she should not show up just then.

"Mommy," Richard called out to her as soon as he saw her.

She never could avoid him.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Hurry over here, Mommy. Daddy is teaching Wendy to bake. We made a lot—you have to try it. It's great!"

Cordy was reluctant to curb Richard's enthusiasm either, and she walked over to see rows of confectionery on the countertop.

Everything looked positively salivating.

"Try this, Mommy. It's matcha pie—Daddy made it for you since you like the flavor." Richard picked a slice up and held it beside her mouth.
