A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 691

Cordy disagreed. "I don't think so."

Lucas was just being nicer towards Dicky than the rest, but not in a way that qualified it as special treatment.

Dicky was just a child; adults were naturally more tolerant and patient towards children.

At the back garden, Dicky was fuming as he glared fixedly at Lucas.

Lucas had told him that he needed the washroom, only to bring him out here.

His eyes showed utter discontent; Lucas seemed an eyesore no matter how Dicky looked at him today.

Especially when he was getting all flirty with Nana.

In fact, once Dicky understood why his mommy detested him, he decided that Lucas deserved it.

Nonetheless, Lucas suddenly said, "What happened the other night… I didn't mean it."

He seemed to be explaining his actions. Dicky looked at him in surprise.

"You weren't being nice because I yelled at your mommy without knowing, right?" Lucas asked.

However, the mention of that only upset Dicky even further.

"You're still upset? You really are your mommy's good son. So protective," Lucas joked.

"I have to, since my daddy won't protect mommy," Dicky growled through his teeth.

"Well, he can't reach from beyond the grave. It's not like he can help it."

"He's alive. But he's rotten now," Dicky snarled.

"What?"

"You should be reflecting."

And with that, Dicky didn’t say anything else.

Lucas smiled despite himself.

Did a little boy just tell him to reflect?
