A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 282

Once Cordy got out of her car, she headed straight to the elevator without looking back once.

John smiled faintly at her indifference.

She was so hot-and-cold! Not to mention, she didn’t even thank him for escorting her.

-

Over the next few days, Cordy would visit John's apartment.

Even though she ate dinner before going, Dicky had her eat with him nonetheless.

When she refused, he flashed his sad puppy face at her and asked if she didn’t like eating with him.

Unable to withstand that wounded look, Cordy simply gave up and ate dinner over at John’s for the next few days.

It certainly didn’t hurt once she got used to it.

One day, while they were having a break during their lessons, Dicky suddenly said, "Mommy, my teacher told us that the school's sports meet is this Friday. All the kids’ parents will be there, and I've already registered for sprinting, swimming, high jump, and relay race."

Friday? That was three more days.

She would probably be free. The instant she saw Dicky’s hopeful gaze, she agreed without hesitation. "Okay."

“I love you, Mommy!" Dicky exclaimed happily, though his little cheeks were soon dropping again. "The teacher also said that our scores will be announced, and I won't get an A if I still can't get my pronunciations right."

"It's alright. We still have two days, don't we? Let's do our best!"

"Okay!" Dicky nodded enthusiastically.

And yet, Cordy remained teetering on the edge of sanity as she kept teaching Dicky.

After coaxing him to sleep, she left the room feeling melancholic.

John was at the bar as usual, and she was actually confused. Why would he avoid the comfort of his study and sit on that rigid bar stool instead? Was that even comfortable?

"How did it go?" he asked.

"Nowhere."

John chuckled, finding her adorable whenever she stepped outsider, looking despondent.
