A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 956

He must have guessed that she was hurt by John and needed someone to lean on.

Perhaps that need was not love.

She was just tired.

He clearly knew all that, yet not only did he not mind, but he even felt thankful for her acceptance.

What kind of a man was he?

Cordy lurched into Patrick's embrace, no longer able to hold her emotions back, and Patrick stood stunned.

His heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it no longer belonged to his body.

He felt Cordy sobbing hard in his arms.

He did not know if she was crying for him or for John. The only thing he cared about was that she was in his arms, in a place where he could finally feel her near.

"Patrick, I admit that I don't love you enough right now, but I swear I'll do my best to love you," Cordy said clearly as she made her promise to Patrick.

"That's enough for me." Patrick hugged Cordy back.

The sight of the two of them locked in a tight embrace landed in Richard's line of vision, and Sean was standing right next to him.

The two of them were standing on the balcony on the second floor of Cranston House, looking down on the couple under the moonlight.

Of course, Sean did not wake Richard up.

He would not do something so meaningless.

On the way back to his bedroom, Sean walked past Richard's room and saw him standing at the balcony.

Richard was too alert and way beyond his years.

Sean hesitated for a moment before walking toward Richard.

Then, both of them stood there as they watched Cordy and Patrick embrace each other.

"Sean," Richard said, "is Mommy really giving up on Daddy?"

"Do you think your mommy is the one giving up on your daddy?" Sean asked him back.

Richard got it immediately and nodded silently.

It was his daddy who gave up on his mommy.

His daddy ended up disappointing him.
