A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 676

To be an eyesore to me?

"So…" Lucas began, but was soon silent again.

Cordy frowned even harder at that.

"Mommy," Dicky suddenly said. "Can I go back to my room to play with my tablet?"

Cordy was left speechless.

Dicky's tact was wasted on them, in her opinion—she definitely didn’t want to be alone with Lucas.

But before she could say a word, Dicky slipped away, leaving Cordy gritting her teeth just then.

Still, she said, "Just spit it already, Lucas. Don't worry—no one would find out about our grievances, since we're more or less relatives now. I for one won't try to hurt our families' relationship."

Lucas was left staring at Cordy.

Did she presume he was threatening her to keep her mouth shut again?!

Even if she didn’t actually speak much with her before, he knew her well enough to tell that she always keeps her promises, and he didn’t have to repeat anything.

He inhaled deeply and finally said, "I've misunderstood you."

"What?" Cordy was puzzled.

"When I implied you had loose morals," Lucas said rather quietly, his ears turning red if one looked closer.

Still, Cordy smiled—he had been convinced that she was two-timing and setting a bad example for Dicky. Now that he knew that Sean was a cousin, was he actually feeling guilty?

To be honest, she didn’t think Lucas had it in him.

He only ever cared about his own feelings, didn’t he?

After he apologized, Lucas demanded grumpily, "Why didn't you explain yourself?"
