Cordy had to admit, she had fallen straight into Jessica’s trick.
Despite that, she wouldn’t dismiss the fact that Jessica was definitely using Dicky to threaten her.
Turning around in bed towards Dicky, Cordy watched his little face, sound asleep amidst the dim light.
It was a habit she had everytime she was sleeping with Dicky—turning on a soft light so that she could see him in the darkness and tuck him in.
Only a real mother would feel that indescribable bliss when you see a child sleeping peacefully beside her.
Cordy couldn’t help caressing his little cheeks once more. She vowed to herself that she would protect her boy, no matter the cost!

Cordy had gotten used to waking past ten o’clock these days, and that was the case the next morning.
Dicky was still asleep since he may have slept too late last night, though he was adorable as ever.
Cordy didn’t wake him and carefully got out of bed, limping on her crutch to the washroom to wash up before leaving her bedroom and closing the door behind her.
Still, she only saw the servants were in the living room. It made her a little distracted, and she wondered if John actually came home.
Maybe he was still sleeping?
One of the servants approached her, asking, "Would you like to have your breakfast now, Miss Sachs?"
"Let's wait a moment," Cordy replied. "I'll eat with Dicky and John since I'm not that hungry yet."
"Actually, Mr. Levine is already awake," the servant quickly told her.
Cordy was surprised, since the man was nowhere to be seen.
The servant in turn explained, "He returned to his room since neither you nor Master Richard were still asleep, and told me to get him when you woke up. I'll be going right now."
Cordy nodded, but soon reconsidered and said, "It's fine. I'll go."
"Yes, Miss Sachs."
