A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Cordy felt this emotion inside that she could not quite describe but she ignored it.

Soon, they arrived at Chateau Emporio, but before she could speak, John told her, “Dicky’s waiting for you inside.”

And with that, she stopped herself from saying what she would have, just as Winston arrived, greeting them respectfully, “Welcome home, Master John-and welcome, Ms. Levine.”

So aside from Richard, Winston was here too?!

Did that mean John sent Winston away the last time she came over?

“Mommy!”

A little figure dashed out of the chateau and threw himself into Cordy’s arms right then. “Mommy,

I missed you so much… but Daddy wouldn’t let me see you at the hospital!”

It was obviously a complaint.

Still, Cordy patiently dropped to a crouch before Richard, explaining, “He was hurt, so he had to stay at the hospital. He would’ve had to take care of you if you went, and he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”

“That’s a lie,” Richard said sharply just then. “Daddy’s just worried that I’d have Mommy all to myself. He doesn’t know how to share.”

Cordy could not help smiling then-the term ‘sharing’ might have been misplaced there.

Winston was smiling too, though he was on John’s side on this one since a man simply did not share his wife.

“Dicky,” John growled, glowering just then.

Naturally fearing his father, Richard quickly stopped complaining at his threat and instead tamely took out a pair of pink slippers and placed them on the floor. “Why don’t you try them, mommy? Daddy and I spent a lot of time picking these from the mall.”

Cordy felt her heart softening just then.
