A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Scores of people were gathered outside the Stuarts' charity ball even before the main event; there were countless scores of journalists, fans, spectators, and security personnel.

It was a grand sight that could beat any celebrity gala.

Soon, a black Rolls Roys stopped at the edge of the red carpet. Inside, Patrick was watching Cordy, who sat beside him.

He was with her as she got changed after they left the hospital, and she was breathtaking in that emerald gown-no man could resist staring.

And yet, Patrick wasn't any man-he showed focus, and remained respectfully distant with Cordy.

"Shall we?" he asked.

Cordy pursed her lips, a little emotional.

She came, pulling every trick in her book in doing so, even though John did all he could to stop her.

She had no idea how he would react when he saw her...but she was not obliged to care, either.

"Okay,” she said confidently, looking up at Patrick.

A faint light shone over her black eyes; they dazzled like the stars, leaving Patrick mesmerized.

"What?” Cordy asked, her brow raised.

Patrick came to his senses, and flashed a rather vague smile.
