A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Mandy eventually lowered her head-even though the ignominy almost left her suffering a breakdown.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Cordy’s smile became even more obvious, but she was still being magnanimous.

After all, this alone was more than enough suffering for Mandy.

And seeing that her daughter apologized, Dandy quickly turned to John. “Mr. Levine, do you think I can leave with my daughter now?”

“This must never happen again.”

“Of course, of course-I’ll definitely straighten her out when I get home.”

And with that, Dandy firmly dragged Mandy along as their family fled, cutting a miserable figure.

Once they were gone, things returned to normal at the banquet hall.

Naturally, many still had their eyes on John and Cordy, studying them and wondering how the hell two people from two different worlds managed to hook up!

And yet, it was happening right in front of their eyes!

“I’ll be a little busy tonight,” John told Cordy then. “Wait for me. I’ll take you home later.

“It’s fine. I can leave on my own…”

“Be nice,” John said mildly, but there was something in his voice that did not allow refusal.

Cordy was left fuming at the tender, overbearing man.

John then turned to Richard. “Take good care of Mommy.”

“Yes, sir,” Richard promptly responded, having received his orders.

With that, John turned to leave, and Cordy watched as he hurried away.

He was so busy, but he would still throw everything aside to help her?!

She would be lying if she said that she was not touched, though not at the point where she felt it in her soul.

“Mommy, shall we go to the backyard?” Richard asked.
