A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 799

Cordy wiped her tears subtly and worked hard to repress her emotions, and asked, "You haven’t eaten yet?"

"Have you?" John asked in return.

She shook her head.

"Then what are you spacing out for? I've already booked a place at the restaurant. Come on," he said, and reached out to pull her up to her feet.

Cordy's fingers twitched, her heart aflutter. John urging her to have dinner soon was just a nonchalant gesture on his part, and yet…

The instant he touched her hand, she seemed to flinch, which left John with an indescribable emotion.

He couldn’t even describe what he was feeling.

Damn it! He was never this sharp towards her before, but now, every move and every gaze she had left his heart pounding uncontrollably.

However, he didn’t let go of her, and actually held on tighter.

Cordy didn’t turn him down either, and the trio left the room.

Dicky was so happy, he could hardly hide his delight from his little face—his parents were finally getting back together, and their family was now reunited!

As the trio sat on the dining table, John made the orders before finally letting go of Cordy's hand.

All she felt was her palm burning, as if the heat from John’s entire body would incinerate her.

One could tell upon a closer look that his ears were read, though he kept acting nonchalant about it.

His personality had certainly changed drastically—perhaps because he had been living in a different environment for three years, or perhaps that was how he actually was when he wasn’t around Cordy, as Dicky had mentioned.
