A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Cordy had thought that she would see John again sooner or later, but she did not expect it to be under such circumstances.

She also thought that John and Jessica would not have the time to bring Richard out, given how busy they had been over the past few days, which was why she ch9ose to take Richard during this period. Had she known she probably would not have come, as much as she wanted to.

She looked casually at John, being careful not to gaze at him for too long while not being overly evasive. She wanted to treat him just as she would any other stranger-neutral and normal.

“Daddy, may I go to Mommy’s place?” Richard looked pleasingly at John and asked.

John swallowed, and he shifted his eyes away from Cordy.

He said to Richard, “Sure.”

“Thank you, Daddy.” Richard could not hold back his joy.

He shook Cordy’s arm excitedly. “Mommy, Daddy has agreed for me to follow you to your place!”

Cordy shot Richard a bright smile and turned back to look at John. “Thank you.’

John clenched his fist ever so subtly.

“Let’s go.” Cordy did not stay longer and held Richard’s hand, all ready to leave.

“Dicky.” Jessica suddenly called out.

Richard turned around to look at her.

Jessica crouched down again and leaned in toward him, “Dicky, I’m returning to Rocktown in a few days. Can I have a meal with you before I go back?”

“Um…” Richard was clearly hesitant.

“Ms. Stuart, set a date and time and I’ll send Dicky over,” Cordy said.

“You will?” Jessica said in surprise.

“Yes.” Cordy nodded.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The two women were extremely courteous toward each other.

“Dicky, I’ll be at home waiting for you.” Jessica pecked Richard’s little cheeks.

Disdain overwhelmed Richard’s face, and he hurriedly wiped his cheeks.

Jessica did not seem to mind. In fact, she smiled even brighter and said, “You’re still the same as you were when you were younger, hating being kissed. What are you going to do when you have a girlfriend in the future?”

It was as if she was deliberately teasing him.
