A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1294

John said, "My priority right now is to spend time alone with you without anyone disturbing us."

"Even if that means abandoning Dicky too?" Cordy raised a brow.

"Can't deny that he's the biggest third-wheel now."

"To think that he's always worshiped you." Cordy smirked—the man was really leaving their son to his own devices.

"He'll understand when he's older."

Cordy snorted—always an excuse for everything, huh?

"Anyway, we have nothing to worry about. Just relax and enjoy our time alone together."

Cordy inhaled deeply.

There was nothing she could do after he had gone that far anyway, so she just had to play along.

She also did not want to think how badly Zoe would chew her out for this when they got back.

-

As a matter of fact, Zoe wanted to chew out John and Cordy right now.

There were eighty tables seated full of guests, and they had to greet everyone, table by table!

And forget about picking up their mess—they still needed to come up with excuses for the newlyweds' absence!

And after doing a lap around the hall, Zoe felt like she could die.

Jay, Sean, and Patrick were all waiting at the table as the four of them sat down.

After all, they were all Cordy's best friends.

And being one of the hosts, Sean offered them personal hospitality.

"Urgh, I'm beat. I feel like I could die," Zoe complained miserably. "John and Cordy had better not come back! How dare they bail on us like that?!"
