A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 440

As they ate, one of the servants walked up to John and asked respectfully, "Mr. Levine, you were saying to throw away that set of formal wear last night?"

He was probably uncertain since John's clothing was worth a fortune, and they would never afford to pay the compensation if they were to throw it away by mistake.

"Yeah." John nodded.

The servant certainly had more to say, but considering that they did not know what it was like to be rich, he replied politely, "Yes, Mr. Levine."

With that, he left.

Cordy watched as he left before glancing at John.

"Actually, you could just send me back to North City," Cordy suddenly said, since she did not believe that he was happier with her around.

Being sandwiched between two women would only make one infuriated.

Nonetheless, John refused her immediately. "I'd be more at ease with you beside me."

"And how long do you intend to keep me here?"

"We'll see." John refused to give a definitive answer.

Cordy bit her lip but ultimately refrained from asking.

She was convinced that he would at least release her when the date of his wedding day with Jessica arrived in the next month.

Meanwhile, in North City, Zoe was dressed in a black babydoll.

She went out of her way to buy it, picking the skimpiest nightgown after choosing a long while.

Still, she was clearly shuddering as she checked her reflection in the mirror—not from the cold, but from nerves.

She had no idea what she was nervous about either, since she had gone through pretty much everything as an actress.

This time, she was just going to celebrate Bob's birthday, and then present herself as his gift.

Nothing could be easier, just as there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
