A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

At 6 PM, John brought Richard as agreed to give Cordy a ride from work.

“Mommy!”

Richard’s crisp, innocent voice melted Cordy’s heart every time.

She gave the boy a hug, and she sat with him as they had a jovial chat.

John was scowling from being ignored.

“Aren’t you happy to see Mommy?” Richard asked seriously, frowning just then.

“I am,” John replied rather coolly.

“But you’re frowning like this,” Richard said, imitating John by furrowing his little brow.

He had always been a diminutive version of John, and he looked especially identical as he frowned.

Cordy could not help laughing out loud, and even the chauffeur was quite amused.

Although John was scowling harder, Richard was further buoyed to see Cordy laughing. “Mommy, don’t mind Daddy. I think he’s having PMS.”

Cordy laughed harder at that-John might have educated him too well!

Fortunately, the restaurant they were going to was close, and they soon arrived.

John might get a stroke otherwise!

They took a window seat at the luxurious restaurant, and Cordy was still joking around with Richard while John ordered.

Why did he feel like the third wheel here?

“John?” A woman called out to him just then, and all three of them looked up.

“Oh, it really is you!” the woman then exclaimed in delight, before quickly introducing herself. “Do you remember me? I’m Kara Lynd, Jessica Stuart’s cousin. We met when you were studying abroad with her.”

“Yeah,” John replied, more or less having an idea just then.

Kara did not seem deterred by his aloofness and she actually became more enthusiastic instead.” It’s such a coincidence!” she exclaimed. “I just came from Rocktown to meet my boyfriend, so I didn’t see you here. By the way, did you hear? My aunt was just saying that Jess would be returning to the country soon.”
