A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 987

John frowned; Nana clearly sensed his displeasure, but refused to let go of his neck anyway.

"We’re a lawfully married couple now, Lucas," she said.

"Quit messing around. I need to tend to our guests soon." John tried to push her away, his impatience evident.

"Yes, you can do it soon. It won't take that long…" Nana retorted, staring at him fixedly in the eyes.

"Don't play around. The doctor insisted you shouldn't do anything taxing."

"I don't care."

"But I do," John breathed, very slowly and clearly.

Nana beamed, clearly elated by his words. "So you love me? You don't want me to die?"

"Yeah," John replied, though that was only because he knew all too well that he wasn’t going to survive if Nana died anyway.

"Let me go," he told her again. "I'm going to drop on you."

"Are you sure you would?" Nana asked, still refusing to let go. "And aren't you tired, holding yourself up? There's no body contact between us at all."

"I'm afraid you'd get hurt. The doctor said you can't afford any mishaps, given your condition."

Nana raised a brow. "Is that right? But are you really worried for me, or are you just keeping your distance?"

"Your health is more important."

"You're not answering the question, Lucas."

"To me, your health is more important than anything else," John said very slowly and clearly.

"Fine." Nana didn’t press the issue, since she was never going to get the answer she wanted. "How about a kiss?"

John simply pursed her lips in turn.
