A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 689

Cordy raised a brow. "Why? You don't want to go home?"

"No, I just…" Dicky muttered, and trailed off.

Still, Cordy knew that this was about Lucas.

Was the boy convinced that Lucas was his father, and therefore wanted to spend more time with Lucas?

She actually wondered if Dicky went looking for Lucas earlier today. The thought of that possibility strengthened her resolve to leave the capital.

"Okay…" Dicky finally gave in.

In the end, his mommy didn't love his daddy anymore. Daddy was definitely out of line too, protecting another woman in front of Mommy, and scolding Mommy harshly to boot.

Mommy had every reason to hate Daddy.

"Good night, Mommy. I'm going to bed now."

"Goodnight, dear."

Dicky returned to his room, and stared at the parental test on the table.

He waited the whole day for that, and he wanted to show it to his mommy.

But now, it was pointless.

He tore the papers into pieces, and threw the pieces into the bin.

Since Mommy didn’t care, letting her know would only stress her.

He would be the only one who knew, and he would protect his mommy with everything he had.

And that was enough.

The next day, Cordy told Jesse that they were going back to North City after breakfast.
