A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 803

Cordy laughed dryly—John’s brazen attitude never did change.

"Why are you laughing?" John frowned, her laughter upsetting him somewhat.

"Because you're younger."

"You must be overjoyed." John grinned smugly.

Cordy smiled, but said nothing.

"And don't change the subject," John said sternly. "Don't meet Patrick Stuart ever again from now on. It upsets me."

"We have a business partnership," she replied.

She always kept business and personal affairs separate, and Patrick always had been a gentleman.

"If we ever were going to be together, we already would have. We certainly wouldn't wait until now," Cordy added bluntly.

"Fine, then how about this?" John said, as if suddenly coming to a realization. "Call me whenever you're meeting him, even if it's for business. I'll sit in."

Cordy stared at him incredulously. How could he get so petty?

"Trade secrets are involved. Having a third-party would be inconvenient."

"Then I can wait outside while you have your discussion."

"Could you not behave like a child?"

"I'm just protecting my interests."

"What interests?”

"You!” John sounded so determined that Cordy couldn’t argue.

Though the atmosphere between them stiffened, they soon heard Dicky giggling beside them.

As they turned towards him, he quickly stopped and blushed. "I'm just happy to see Mommy and Daddy getting along.

"I'm not your daddy…"

John's habitual retort trailed off, as he soon realized the situation and slowly smiled. "Well, it's almost impossible I’d have a child as old as you, but if you can call me Daddy really if you really want to."

How brazen!
