A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 681

Cordy bit her lip, having no response to her grandfather's begrudging accusation of her.

It turned out that Jesse knew all along—he simply left it unsaid.

"Don't let it get to you. I know you, and if I hadn't…"

Jesse's words trailed off as he sighed, and quickly changed the subject. "The Lynds were feeling hot-headed tonight. That's why I didn't defend you—saying too much would upset them, and in turn, they’d be even angrier with you. Let's wait until Nana recovers. I’ll find a chance to clear the air with my sister."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

"You must be tired too. Get some rest."

"You too."

With that, Cordy left Jesse's room.

She could feel his care and love for her, but in reality, she had a hard time accepting such an unfamiliar family.

Dicky was waiting for her in her room. Cordy asked him calmly, "Aren't you going back to your room to sleep?"

"Aren't you upset? Lucas yelled at you," Dicky asked her very bluntly.

"I am, but it's understandable," she replied.

She took offense since she was feeling heated as well. Now that she had calmed down, she was a lot less heated.
