A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 984

That was why the crowd felt sympathetic towards Nana.

"Last but not least, I must thank my husband, Lucas," Nana continued.

She said the words 'my husband' with apparent love, but John merely watched her quietly, pursing his lips as he did so.

"I never believed in love, and was convinced that only my family would love me in this life. I also believed that I had no right to love, what with my poor health…until the day I met you. That's when I found out that I can be loved too, and was capable of loving someone so much. You complete me, and I'm thankful you came into my life."

Nana's eyes welled with tears as she finished; it was an especially moving sight as it glinted against the spotlight.

John's Adam's apple shifted, but he remained silent nevertheless.

At the same time, Nana spoke through her tears, "You are my world, Lucas. I love you… So, so much."

Earnest, sentimental declarations of love always stole hearts, do they not?

And it had to be a frail girl who couldn’t stop her tears.

Even so, John never responded until the emcee prompted him. "Such stirring words from your bride… Don't you have anything to say, Lucas?"

John remained silent, leaving the scene rather awkward.

Nonetheless, the emcee was experienced enough to smooth things over and quickly said, "Our bridegroom must be too emotional, he's worried he'd cry as soon as he speaks. But that's fine—it's his big day, so let's give him more time and encouragement!"

He certainly stirred the crowd, and they clapped for him while a staff member quickly handed John a mic.

John slowly took it, and told Nana, "I'm lucky to have you."

Nana's tears streamed out of the corner of her eyes.

Tears of bliss were certainly a beautiful thing…

At the same time, a teardrop trickled out of Cordy's eye too.
