A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Cousin?!

Cordy flinched while she was still in John’s arms, and he clearly felt her move!

“Come here,” John then told Zoe.

Zoe did so tentatively with an unsteady gait. Though her cheeks were flushed from alcohol, she looked utterly afraid, like a child about to ask their parents for forgiveness.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you making out,” she said with a wounded tone. “I just needed to pee.”

On the other hand, although Cordy had been resistant toward being intimate with John, she was left so utterly awkward she buried her head within John’s embrace, too ashamed to show her face. John certainly knew that Cordy was embarrassed, but he was not letting her off the hook either. He pressed, “And what do you call my grandfather?”

“John, you’re scaring me.” Zoe’s pupils were dilating–did he somehow lose every bit of intelligence from making out?!

Still, seeing the serious look from her cousin, she had to answer honestly. “Grandfather.”

John lowered his gaze then and asked Cordy, who was still hiding her face, “So? Do you understand the connection between me and Zoe now, Ms. Sachs?”

Cordy’s ears were blushing harder than when he bit her. Still, she nodded without looking up, keeping her head against his chest.

“Would you like to see my birth certificate as well, Ms. Sachs?” John asked just then.

Cordy quickly shook her head, even as Zoe was left even more puzzled by them.

“What’s gotten into you two?” Zoe could not help asking.

“Nothing. Though someone misunderstood that I was two–timing-”

John blinked as he suddenly felt a dainty hand on his lips.
