A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 436

In fact, one might even describe it as water under the bridge.

After all, Jessica had invested a fortune on Noel, so there was no way she would just let Noel enjoy all the perks for free.

In fact, the moment Noel accepted Jessica's grace was the moment her nightmare began!

Nonetheless, Cordy felt no sympathy as she lowered her phone.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared over my head.

She recognized who it was coupled with that scent—John had been staying with her for days, staying just next door.

Despite the announcement of his wedding date, the man was staying away from his fiancee.

Cordy could scarcely imagine how crazy Jessica was right about now.

"It's lunch time," John told her mildly.

Surprisingly, they had been getting along well over the last few days—no confrontations, but no flirting either.

They were just friends, with neither crossing the line.

Cordy followed John through the living room and had lunch with him.

Through it all, his phone was ringing repeatedly.

"You should answer that," Cordy told him.

It was all too obvious that it had been Jessica calling him, as she had done every day since Cordy was brought here.

Jessica was even smart about it, as she would only call John during mealtimes. She knew very well that if Cordy was with John, they would definitely be eating together, and she did it just so that Cordy would know.

On Cordy's part, she really wanted to tell Jessica that she did not have to go that far—whatever it was between her and John did not actually affect Cordy that much.

Still, John got up to answer the call.

He was not that far away, but his voice was quiet.
