A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 904

In the end, Cordy had enough of reading the news and lowered her phone, only to find him standing by the door.

John came to his senses at that very moment, his expression turning cold immediately.

Cordy frowned, sensing that John was deliberately keeping her distance. However, she ignored that completely.

She actually smiled at him. "You're back."

"What's the matter?" John asked coolly.

"Do I need a reason to come to you?"

John stared at her in return, but he was unable to tell her “We shouldn't be seeing each other,” and decided against chasing her off even though he couldn’t be at her side.

"Shouldn't I thank you for saving me?" Cordy asked.

"You don't have to," John replied. "It's nothing much, and anyone would do the same given the situation."

"But Nana just stood by and watched," Cordy immediately deflected his argument.

John stayed silent and didn’t argue—perhaps he was unwilling to do so, since he would rather Cordy stay with him.

"You're not going to ask how I'm going to thank you?" Cordy asked him, so that the atmosphere between them didn’t cool off.

John played along. "How?"

"Come here, and I'll tell you." Cordy flashed him a mysterious look.

John was a little wary, but he walked up to her regardless.

Her own mother and herself had been a victim to such people, yet she was doing the same for his sake.

It hurt his heart to see this.

"No, it doesn't hurt me," Cordy said bluntly. "I used to think that there are plenty of fish in the sea, that I didn't have to get obsessed over one because I held no expectations for relationships. In fact, that was why I could break up with Kyle so easily."

"But John…no, Lucas," she used his current name in fear that he would be repulsed. "I can admit I'm obsessed with you. I know that you love me too, and you just feel responsible for Nana, which is why you're with her. But since we love each other, why can't we just be brave and go for it?!"

John clenched his knuckles behind his back.

I find that the speed of posting stories is a bit slow these days, so I have increased the number of chapters today. Hope everyone enjoy reading the story.
