A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294

Cordy smiled slightly and gave Dicky both thumbs-up in encouragement, showing that she didn’t mind, let alone care about keeping up appearances.

As the teachers arranged the groups, they noticed that one of the children didn't have both parents with her-even though elite private schools like this usually insisted on having both parents attending school activities.

Before things could get awkward, Dicky suddenly asked one of the teachers, "Can my mommy join us?"

"But your mommy's already here...’

"That's my mommy," Dicky pointed at Cordy on the stands.

The teacher simply presumed it to be a child's innocent banter, and didn't dwell on it as she said, "Of course."

She went off to invite Cordy, who agreed to it since Dicky was so eager, and played mommy for the little girl.

As the relay was about to begin, Cordy and Dicky were close enough to speak to each other although they were in different groups.

"Are you good at running, Mommy?"

"Of course," Cordy said proudly. "Where do you think you got your athletic genes from?"

"So I got it from you, Mommy!" Dicky exclaimed excitedly.

"That's why I won't let you win, okay? We're rivals, after all."

'Til do my best!' Dicky said confidently.

The whistle soon blew, and the relay began.
