A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234

But he also kept sensing a mixture of guilt in his Mommy’s eyes whenever she looked at him.

It was clearly Daddy who let Mommy down.

Richard laid quietly in Cordy’s arms without any resistance at all. He simply allowed her to hold him tight, as if she had lost him once and did not want him away from her side for even a second.

The Ferris wheel carriage climbed higher and higher in the sky until they reached the peak.

Cordy finally calmed herself down and replied to Richard’s earlier question. “I don’t feel sad at all with you around.”

“Mommy.” Richard stretched his hand out and wiped the tears away from her face.

That was when Cordy realized that she was tearing up.

It was probably from emotions that she had kept to herself for too long.

It was only now that she allowed herself to release a little bit of it.

Cordy said affectionately, “Dicky, I’m really lucky to have you around.”

“No matter who Daddy marries, I’ll always be by Mommy’s side,” Richard promised.

“Okay.” Cordy caressed Richard’s head lovingly as she smiled.

“Actually…” Richard looked up at Cordy, “Daddy doesn’t like Jessica.”

Cordy shook her head.

It was not that she didn’t believe Richard’s words, but she did not care.

“He really doesn’t. When I was younger, although Jessica frequently came looking for Daddy when we were abroad, Daddy would always be very cold and distant toward Jessica. Mommy is the one whom Daddy likes. It’s Great-Grandpa who insists on Daddy and Jessica being together,” Richard went on agitatedly, “Daddy won’t really end up marrying Jessica. Daddy once told me when we were overseas that he’ll only marry…”

“Dicky,” Cordy cut him off.

Richard looked at her through his big, dark eyes.

“Little children shouldn’t be worried about adults’ affairs.” Cordy did not wish for Richard to be involved in such troubles, which he should not even be burdened with in the first place. “You just need to remember that whatever happens between Daddy, Mommy, and even Jessica, we all love you. No one or nothing can ever change that.”
