A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1285

Night had arrived by the time they were done taking photos, with both couples going out with Richard for dinner.

Cordy, who had been busy taking care of Jesse for over a month, suddenly realized she had been neglecting Richard a little.

It felt like her son had grown up again, and he resembled a teenager now.

"Are you used to the capital, Dicky?" Cordy asked him as she put food on his plate.

"Yeah." Richard nodded.

"Your daddy and I won't be here eventually. Will you get uncomfortable?"

"No. Uncle Sean's been good to me—he'll take good care of me," Richard said cheerfully, showing no signs of being coerced into this decision. "Don't worry—just go back to North City with Daddy. I'll be fine here."

"Yeah." Cordy nodded, a little emotional just then.

Richard was the greatest surprise she ever had in this world, after all.

"I'll take Dicky back to North City whenever there's time too," Sean said. "Though I hope you two will come over instead."

"Yeah."

After dinner, the five of them returned to Cranston Hall, where the place was silent since it was very late.

They tried to keep things quiet as they returned to their rooms.

When Cordy and John returned to theirs, John prepared a bath for her. "You can bathe first."

"Okay." Cordy nodded and headed to the bathroom, though she paused at the doorway just as she was about to enter.

John had taken off his suit and was seated on the couch, killing time on his phone.
