Chapter 1198
Wendy continued, "Oh, stop teasing me. John is handsome and great in every way, and I'm lucky to have him, but I can't help it, y'know? My preference for freshness and excitement is inborn. There's no stopping me."
"Oh, don't give me that crap. I'll try to slip out later—I won't miss out on such a stud."
Wendy kept chatting for a while, laughing mischievously from time to time.
Cordy avoided her in turn and headed out to the back garden, where she found John and Richard setting up the barbecue set.
The back garden had also been decorated elaborately to look romantic and homely.
Richard eagerly called out to her, "Mommy! You're finished with work? Daddy and I have prepared dinner—it's almost done now. I was just going to get you."
"Yeah, I'm finished with work," Cordy replied and walked up to them.
John was focused on preparing the food, while Cordy could not resist sliding several glances at him.
Richard laughed just then. "Mommy, why are you staring at Daddy? Do you find him handsome?"
At those words, John looked up and just happened to lock eyes with Cordy.
She promptly turned away, her heart raising as if guilty.
However, she subtly took a few deep breaths—what was she panicking about? She was not cheating on anyone!
Just then, Wendy stepped out of the mansion and asked with a smile, "Is dinner ready?"
"Yeah, Wendy," Richard replied.
"Oh, it looks so appetizing," Wendy exclaimed dramatically in front of the meat. "I'm drooling. You're such an amazing genius, Johnny."
As she spoke, she leaned against his arm, brushing her cheek against it like a spoiled child.
John flashed a tender smile. "As long as you like it."
"Hove it."
