A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1271

John grinned. "Don't worry. I'm quite straight."

He could admit that it felt a little pleasant to have Cordy face those mini paranoid episodes—it only meant that Cordy was concerned that someone would take him away from her.

But if there was anyone in the world who could tempt him, it was Cordy.

"I didn't think that Sean would be…" Cordy trailed off again, unable to finish her sentence.

She could accept Patrick being that, since they were unrelated and she knew about that for a while.

But her cousin was always so masculine, and yet…

John chuckled. "Well, I am grateful for Sean's role."

If it was not for him, Cordy would probably be still trapped with guilt toward Patrick.

"That's schadenfreude," she huffed.

"You have to admit that they make a good pair."

"I…" She refused to admit that.

"Go to sleep already," John said, not pressing the issue just then. "You must be sleepy since we had to wake early for our flight."

She could take her time to accept the reality anyway.

When it came to relationships, the best thing others should do would be to offer their blessing.

Cordy nodded.

They washed up and then changed into casuals.

"Your cousin's quite attentive," John praised.

They did not bring anything since they came to the capital in a rush, but there were clothes prepared for them here anyway—for him and Cordy—and they fit perfectly.

Cordy was left staring at John's clothes, suddenly a little uncomfortable.

"What's on your mind, darling?" John could not help laughing.

"Who's your darling?" Cordy blushed.

"We already had a wedding, and we even got our certificate," John teased. "And with our respective family's approvals, is that still not reality now?"

"Nope." Cordy stubbornly denied it.
