A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Ever since they met, John had never told Cordy about his family-only his name

“I am,” he admitted regardless, and he asked, “When did you notice?”

“Just now,” Cordy replied. “It’s not that hard to notice. Your last name is Levine, you’re a single dad, and there’s your extravagance. The only thing that doesn’t fit is…”

As John raised a brow, she finished, “You’re better looking than the rumors say.

“You flatter me.”

Cordy said nothing to that, but she was just spitting facts.

“I did not want to hide it for you,” John said earnestly.

Cordy, however, did not mind-they were not close enough to have to tell each other everything.

In fact, she was just asking because Alan Levine’s birthday was on the 17th, and she had been eager to find out why John had asked her to make time on that day.

“Well, there’s this guy who keeps insisting that I’m a firefighter, and you might think that I’m deceiving you. That’s why I planned to formally introduce myself on the 17th.”

He spoke with a neutral tone, but the jibe in his words was unmistakable.

It was not hard for Cordy to figure out who he meant. “He’s blind-always has been.”

John chuckled, seemingly content with her opinion of Kyle.

“It’s late, Ms. Sachs. Please retire soon, though I’m afraid I’ll have to leave Dicky with you tonight.”

Cordy nodded. “Bye, Mr. Levine.”

After seeing him off, Cordy returned to her bed.

This was the first time there was someone else in her bed after so many years-it felt curious, and not repulsive at all.

Amidst the dim light, the sight of Richard’s little face as he lay fast asleep left her feeling warmth over her

chest.
