A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Even after Cordy said that, silence remained in the car. John acted as if he hadn't heard any of Cordy’s words. He kept his eyes firmly on the road, not looking away.

Cordy shoved down the turbulent emotions swirling angrily inside her. As calmly as she could, she continued, "I have an important meeting early tomorrow morning, and it's already very late right now.'

"I know," John replied.

Cordy waited a long time after he replied, but John didn't speak again.

She bit her lip, frustrated.

Since he wasn't going to say anything else, she leaned back in her seat and stared out the car window at the night scenery once more.

Soon, they arrived at North Garden's underground car park.

Cordy unbuckled her seat belt but remained seated. She turned to John and said, "Go ahead."

Perhaps John couldn't multitask while driving and needed to focus on the road. That was fine, because Cordy had no intentions of being careless with her life.

"It's too late now. Go back home and get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow,' John said bluntly.

"I don't think we need to be so vague with words. Why don't you just come out and say it and get it over and done with? I don't have much time to deal with you. I'm very busy," Cordy told him flatly.

She didn't want to continue dwelling on this matter. She had always been rather straightforward, and had done the same to Kyle back then.

John tightened his grip on the steering wheel, then turned to look at Cordy.

Even though she was acting very submissive tonight, John could feel how distant she was.

"I didn't know about my engagement with Jessica. My grandfather suddenly announced it without my knowledge," John finally blurted out.

He had been waiting outside her house for a long time. When she hadn't returned in the early morning, he had mobilized everyone he had to look for her all over the city. When he heard she was at the hospital, he didn't waste a second and sped to see her.

Seeing her leave the hospital completely fine put him only slightly at ease.
