A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1202

Cordy's eyes flashed, and John looked down to find himself topless.

He promptly picked up his shirt that was left nearby to cover himself.

Cordy frowned—obviously, she wanted John to get dressed, but it irked her seeing him getting agitated as if she was the one taking advantage of him.

Did he have to be so dramatic? It was not like she hadn't seen him naked.

Still, she watched as John quickly put his clothes on and said, "I didn't know when I took it off. I didn't mean to…"

Then, he quickly got to his feet, ready to leave bed—whether he moved too quickly or he was still drunk and dizzy, he wobbled as he got up.

He looked like he could fall at any moment, so Cordy reached out by instinct to hold him.

However, the instant she touched him, he flinched and shifted away from her… which led to him dropping to the floor with a dull thud.

It was certainly a horrible fall, and it left the man himself stunned, unable to regain his senses even as he lay sprawled on the floor.

Cordy simply stared at John, who was obviously averse to her and would rather fall to his death than let her help him.

She took a deep breath and told herself not to get upset—that there was nothing between them, which was why they must keep their distance.

She simply waited for John for a while until he slowly rose to his feet, looking embarrassed from head to toe.

He rarely embarrassed himself so much, after all.

"It's late. I should head home," he said, not forgetting to add, "I still have to take Wendy home later."

Cordy pursed her lips—she needed so much restraint to stop herself from telling him that Wendy was enjoying herself just then.

She wondered how John would react to that if he found out… a heart attack, perhaps?!

Perhaps.

"I'll ask my chauffeur to drive you," she said.
