A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150

John thought to himself that Cordy should be sweet-talking him instead of asking about Jessica!

Still, he nodded. “Yeah.”

“What’s the relationship there?” Cordy asked bluntly-after she had that misunderstanding with John and Zoe, she had decided to ask about everything since.

“Our grandfathers were comrades in the war and close friends, often keeping in touch event though we lived in different cities. My grandfather especially loved to visit them, so he brought me to Stuart Hall in Rocktown on many occasions. As for Jessica Stuart, she’s…”

John trailed off as he searched for the right word, and Cordy raised a brow. “Your childhood friend?”

“No.” John denied it. “More like the girl next door.”

The girl next door?!

That felt way more ambiguous than necessary!

John then continued, “Anyway, when my grandfather sent me abroad for studies, William Stuart- her grandfather-sent her abroad as well. After we graduated from university, I worked on expanding Levine Ventures in foreign markets, while she stayed abroad as well to manage Stuart Holdings. We do take care of each other because of our families’ ties.”

Take care? How?!

John smiled faintly when he saw Cordy’s judgmental look. “Don’t worry. There’s nothing between us.”

“Your past is your business, and I’m not concerned,” Cordy replied nonchalantly, but she was clearly smiling.

That set John in a good mood, and he commented, “You’re improving, Ms. Sachs.”

“Huh?” Cordy was confused.

“Now you understand that you ask questions with your mouth,” he said. “Unlike before, sentencing me to death ever so subtly.”

Cordy blushed, but she was not ever going to live down suspecting John for having a relationship with Zoe.

After dinner, they headed to Cordy’s apartment in John’s Maybach.
