A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 800

Cordy was afraid of imagining that John was still alive, but he really was…

And yet, she was apprehensive all the same

Was this what they meant with 'win some, lose some'?!

At the dining table, the waiters brought their respective steaks. Cordy had too much on her mind and ate very slowly, basically not tasting anything at all.

That was when she saw John pick up her plate, swapping his with hers.

Surprised, Cordy stared blankly at the steak which had been cut into tiny slices.

John was actually surprised he would do that for her—he never took the initiative with anyone else.

And yet, he couldn’t help it when Cordy was involved.

"Don't get any funny ideas," he said, though it was clear he was eager to please.

Cordy couldn’t help smiling as she watched his terrible acting.

John naturally noticed, and gave up on pretenses. "Fine, I just want to be nice to you and couldn't help it, because you’ve bewitched me. Is that good enough?"

Cordy's smile broadened.

For some reason, she felt it was fine if John was like this.

"I just don't get it," John muttered. "The way I did it so smoothly, it’s like I’ve done it for you before…"

Cordy's smile suddenly went stiff, and her eyes welled with tears again.

Did he remember?

"Are you that touched?" John asked in surprise, looking her in the eye.

Cordy lowered her gaze—she had clearly been getting ahead of herself.

She slowly ate the steak John cut for him, and asked casually, "You had amnesia, didn't you?"

John did not deny it. "How did you know? Were you looking into me?"
