A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 935

Sean explained, "There was no disputing that John would be the perfect man for that job. I was amazed by his abilities in his confrontation against the Stuarts, and following further conversations at length, I became sure that he's the one I want."

"But why won't you consider taking over leadership of the family?" Cordy remained curious about that.

He was the eldest grandson, was at the right age, and had the strength for it. One might even say that the rest of the Cranstons had already tacitly acknowledged him in that capacity—even Paul, his uncle and a known troublemaker, would more or less defer to him.

What reason could he have to delegate such a grand legacy to someone else?!

Nonetheless, Sean simply smiled. "I think I'll pass on telling you my reasons, or that might ruin the amazing opinion you have of me."

"Don't worry, you're not that amazing in my opinion."

"But I'd still rather you afford me some dignity," Sean said bluntly, though it only made Cordy more interested.

"Quit with the speculations, please," Sean told her. "I'll tell you someday."

"When?" Cordy asked.

"It depends."

He might as well have said nothing, just as Cordy was definitely not one who pried—if someone was unwilling to say it, she would not usually ask.

That being said, she was more interested than usual because it was Sean.

Nonetheless, Sean suddenly reminded her, "The wedding is in five days. Good luck."

Cordy rolled her eyes.

Cordy lay in bed, spacing out after Sean left her room.

Sean was right—what could she do to change John's mind, to make him break up with Nana?

And that woman was a real menace!

She gritted her teeth and suddenly sat up in bed.

No one knew what the final outcome would be until the very last moment!

She whipped out her phone, tapped on John's number, and texted him after a while: [I was discharged earlier.]

Her heart raced after she sent the text, and she waited.
