A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Even as Cordy looked utterly guilty, John was studying her seriously as he asked, “I’m curious. What made you think that I was dating Zoe, Ms. Sachs?”

Still, his brow was relaxed, showing his good mood.

Cordy bit her lip, but she knew that John was going to be ruthless if she told him that Kyle Jessop misled her.

“Supposing that I were dating Zoe, it’s even more curious that you’d find it logical that I would have you two appear in the same place,” John continued, putting weight behind every word. “How irresponsible do you think I am toward a relationship that I could do something like that?!”

Cordy could not say anything against that.

She definitely should have suspected something, especially with her calmness and wit. But for some reason, she presumed that John and Zoe were really dating without questioning it.

Now that she understood that, she realized that she was definitely being foolish–could she have been infected by Kyle’s stupidity?

Or perhaps.

Even as that thought crossed her mind, Cordy’s heart skipped a beat.

But she refused to admit that her judgment was affected because she cared a little too much!

And since he was not getting an answer, John was still watching her and pressing on. “So that’s why you were being distant for so long, Ms. Sachs? That’s why you’ve been rejecting me so constantly, even refusing to bring me a birthday present?”

Cordy could not help looking up at that.

He never mentioned her lack of a birthday present until now, and she thought he did not care.

She was surprised to realize that he merely kept it bottled up.

Nonetheless, she was definitely left awkward by his interrogation.

She took a deep breath just then, but while she was going to apologize, John suddenly stopped accosting her and said, “Whatever. Forget it.

Then, while Cordy blinked at him, he said, “As long as we got that straight.

He even heaved a sigh of relief.

Having made things clear, he did not need her apology–he was not upset either.
