A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197

Stunned, their eyes met for seconds before Cordy quickly pushed John away and turned her back on him.

They had been so close she spaced out for a moment, but she still felt John's hot breath becoming rushed.

She could also feel her own heart racing wildly, while her cheeks burned.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, deciding that she had been a little careless just then.

"That was great, Mommy! Do your best!" Richard quickly exclaimed just then, cheering her on as he noticed the awkwardness between his parents.

Cordy slowly calmed down as well and seriously learned baking from John while quietly keeping his distance.

Naturally, he did not step out of line either—in fact, he was paying considerable attention not to get too close since he felt her aversion.

Soon, they finished making cookies, which were a little charred but tasted good.

Cordy felt a strong sense of accomplishment, especially with Richard munching while flattering her.

"Wow, your cookies are wonderful, Mommy!"

"You're amazing, Mommy! This is so delicious!"

"Wendy, you should try my mommy's cookies too. It's her first time, but it's really good!"

Wendy had some too, and she did not hold back from praising Cordy as well. "It's really good—it's is much better than what I made. You have a gift, Cordy."

Cordy was actually embarrassed from all the unrestrained praise.
