A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 606

John…

The single glance of stupor left Cordy’s tears running freely.

However, she remembered in the next instant that the man was Lucas and not John.

From the back, his resemblance to John was uncanny, hence why she mistook him for John…

Even so, her tears quietly drenched her pillow.

On the other hand, Lucas had a nagging feeling that someone was watching him from behind. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, he could still imagine her wounded look. All he could think about was that inconsolable misery he saw in her eyes when he pushed her away just now.

What on earth did she go through that made her look as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, when could she have anything she wanted?!

And was it feigned? Was she pretending? If that was the case, she might even win an Oscar for it!

With that in mind, it only made sense that she managed to fool him.

He kept telling himself that; then, he sat up in his bed and turned to look at Cordy.

Nothing was clear in the darkness, but he seemed to see everything somehow—that she was crying wounded tears very miserably.

He shrugged off his blanket and walked up to her.

She blinked but said nothing, seemingly calming down right then—completely different from the woman who broke down right in front of him a moment ago.

Even so, he said grumpily, "Move over a little."

Cordy stared at him, but didn’t move.

"Don't make me regret this," he growled threateningly.

Even so, she still didn’t move.

Lucas scowled—she really was calm under pressure.

Nonetheless, he arched his back to scoop her up in his arms.
