A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 675

Thanks to Nana, the mood between the two families was good.

Jesse turned towards Lucas just then. "Is this your boyfriend, Nana?"

Lucas nodded respectfully. "Hello, Mr. Cranston. I'm Lucas Lynch."

"What a fine young man you are!" Jesse said as he studied Lucas. "But why do you look so familiar?"

"Don't you think he resembles your great-grandson, sir?" Nana pointed out, turning towards Dicky.

Jesse realized with a start, and exclaimed, "Why yes, they do!"

"It's just a strange coincidence," Lucas said humbly.

"Sean, is that your granddaughter?" Jean asked when she saw Cordy.

"Oh, yes. She's been working at North City, so he doesn't come by often. Cordy? This is my sister," Jesse said. He beckoned Cordy to him and introduced them.

"Hello, Mrs. Lynd," Cordy greeted her politely.

"Oh, of course I know Cordy. Your career is really taking flight, and I often see you in the news!" Jean started to heap praise on her. "I didn't think you're family, even though I've always been saying that everyone in our family is the best of the best."

"You flatter me, Mrs. Lynd. I'm just lucky."

"You should give yourself more credit. You have a flair for fashion design, just like your mother…"

Jean sighed, while Cordy smiled faintly in silence.

The atmosphere suddenly turned somber…until Nana suddenly gasped in surprise. "You're not Sean's wife?"

Sean quickly asked, "Why would you say that, Nana?"

"Well, you were always together, and you really cared for the pretty lady…I mean, Cordy."

"No, I'm just taking her on trips around town since she rarely visits the capital," Sean explained.

"Oh, dear me!" Nana flashed an awkward smile. "I'm sorry, Cordy."

"It's nothing," Cordy said, otherwise keeping quiet.

And here she thought they were strangers! They just had to be relatives.
