A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 978

Patrick grinned. "So? Do you think we're a perfect fit for one another?"

Before Cordy could answer, the store assistant nearby promptly praised them sycophantically, "Of course, Mr. Stuart! You and Miss Sachs are a match made in heaven—no one deserves each other more than you two!"

Patrick was obviously delighted from the obvious fawning, and there was no hiding the dazzling smile on his face.

Later, Cordy was escorted by the store's staff to the makeup station, while Patrick took a seat on a nearby couch and waited.

While others would be killing time by fiddling with their phones or reading something, Patrick was resting his chin on one hand as he stared straight at Cordy.

…As if worried she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

The staff who were helping Cordy with her makeup were getting embarrassed from his stare, and couldn’t help teasing, "Are you that afraid we'd abduct Miss Sachs, sir?"

Cordy blushed, and snapped a little grumpily, "Could you keep your eyes to yourself, Patrick?"

"You're mine, so technically I am," Patrick replied, as if it made perfect sense. "I hadn't even looked at other women at all, y'know."

The staff all had a good amused chuckle, while Cordy was so embarrassed she could kill herself right on the spot.

It took a long while for her makeup to finally be completed, and she strode up to him with lithe grace up to Patrick, smiling at him.

Patrick thought she would be the death of him—how could any woman look as beautiful as her? It was almost criminal!

"Let's go," Cordy said, putting a hand around his arm.

It was just the right time to leave and attend the wedding, anyway.

However, Patrick wasn’t moving.

"What's wrong?" Cordy asked him.

"I think my legs just caved," he replied.

"What?"

"I'm on my knees, in awe of your beauty."

"Patrick," Cordy snapped, though she was blushing in embarrassment as well in front of so many others.
