A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 443

After dinner, Bob hurriedly left with Sam and Jay.

He had always celebrated his birthday that way—he would accompany his parents and elders at home and eat with them in the morning, while it was his time after dinner.

They were about to leave Davis Villa when Yulia suddenly stopped him.

"Bob," Yulia said. "Bring Cora along."

"How can I enjoy myself if I bring her along?" Bob became quite displeased.

"You can have a great time just the same. She can join you."

"But we're all men…"

"So, I asked Cora to keep an eye on you," Yulia said overbearingly. "In short, I'll leave her in your care."

"Why me?" Bob was infuriated. "Jay is the closest to her among the three of us. He's her uncle. You should leave her in Jay's care instead."

Jay glanced at Bob—the latter was good at shirking his responsibility.

"I don't care who's in charge. In short, you guys have to take care of her. Nancy and I want to play poker at home, so you've got to keep an eye on her. If anything happens, I'll beat you to death when you're back," Yulia said, threatening them.

After that, she did not give Bob any chance to refuse before she placed Cora in their care and left.

The three of them and Cora were the only ones left after Yulia had left.

Appearing very timid, Cora lowered her head in slight anxiety and did not dare to voice out.

Bob was rendered speechless.

When he was about to compromise, Jay suddenly suggested, "Bob, Sam, you guys can go first. I'll give Cora a ride."

Bob looked at Jay with his eyes widened.

They were buddies for so many years, so they had some kind of tacit understanding.

He naturally knew that Jay wanted to see Cora off.

Bob punched Jay jokingly and soon broke into a joyful smile. "Well, I'll wait for you."

"Okay."

Bob and Sam left first.

Jay then said to Cora, "Let's go."
