A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 686

Lucas stared numbly at Cordy's nonchalant reaction.

He had always believed Cordy wanted him, but now, it was very clear that she didn’t have the slightest inclination towards him.

In fact, she wanted very much to have nothing to do with him.

Gulping, he murmured, "Travel safe."

In the end, there was no doubt that Cordy and him were just strangers who met by chance. Any excessive attachments were unnecessary.

Cordy nodded and got in the car with Sean, and left.

On the way back to Cranston Hall, Sean asked, "Why didn't you let Lucas apologize?"

"Why should I? I know for a fact that his outburst wasn’t deliberate," Cordy replied as she reclined against her seat and took in the sights outside. "Moreover, getting confrontational with pointless people is a waste of my time."

"Don't you feel any sentiment towards him… Like, at all?" Sean asked quietly. "I mean, the man really resembles John."

"Yes, but that doesn't make him John. And I've always been rational."

Is that so?

In fact, Sean sensed that Cordy's excessive rationality and indifference was a gesture of hiding her true feelings.

Naturally, he wasn’t that tactless—if Cordy didn’t want to say it, he wouldn’t ask.

Jesse had already woken up as they reached home, and asked about the situation when he saw them return.

When they told him that the misunderstanding was cleared, he nodded and said, "Last night was hard on you, Cordy."

"It doesn't matter now that we’ve cleared the air," Cordy said, smiling. "I didn't really sleep last night, so I'll try to catch some winks."

"Okay. Run along now."
