A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1208

"You're going to propose, right?" Cordy asked, doing her best to stay calm.

"Oh…" John chuckled. "Dicky told you, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I was just planning that, since I'm not exactly young," John admitted. "I've asked Dicky, and he agreed that Wendy suits me, so I plan to go through with it."

Somehow, those words stung Cordy's ears.

"You really love her, don't you?" she asked.

"What?" John asked a little shrilly, probably shocked that Cordy would ask something like that.

Nonetheless, Cordy repeated herself slowly and clearly, "You really love Wendy, don't you?"

"She's hardly the person for that," Cordy said solemnly.

"Why?" John was confused. "Because she's too young?"

"That's one of the reasons," Cordy said, no longer intending to hide it. "The other is that she misbehaves."

"Misbehaves?"

"Yes, misbehaves!" Cordy repeated sternly.
