A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 230
Cordy was getting really bored.She gave Winston a call. "Hi Winston, Cordy here.""How do you do, Ms. Sachs? I have your number saved in my phone. How can I help you?" Winston was very courteous."It's the weekend. Is Dicky at home?""He is.""Can I bring him over to my place and stay the night?" Cordy asked.Zoe was away over the weekend to attend an event in another city."Ms. Sachs, please hang on while I ask," Winston said respectfully."Are you asking John? He wouldn't be able to pick up your call," Cordy said straightforwardly."No. Master John previously instructed that if you want to take Master Richard, you can do so anytime. I'm just asking Master Richard for his opinion. He's playing with his toys and doesn't like being interrupted when he's focused on something.""Sure. Thank you, then," Cordy said politely.She selectively ignored some things that Winston had said.After a while, Winston came back to the phone. "Master Richard looks forward to you coming to pi

Cordy had thought that she would see John again sooner or later, but she did not expect it to be under such circumstances.She also thought that John and Jessica would not have the time to bring Richard out, given how busy they had been over the past few days, which was why she chose to take Richard during this period. Had she known…she probably would not have come, as much as she wanted to.She looked casually at John, being careful not to gaze at him for too long while not being overly evasive. She wanted to treat him just as she would any other stranger—neutral and normal."Daddy, may I go to Mommy's place?" Richard looked pleasingly at John and asked. John swallowed, and he shifted his eyes away from Cordy.He said to Richard, "Sure.""Thank you, Daddy." Richard could not hold back his joy.He shook Cordy's arm excitedly. "Mommy, Daddy has agreed for me to follow you to your place!"Cordy shot Richard a bright smile and turned back to look at John. "Thank you."John clenc

They did not notice John, Jessica, and the hoards of bodyguards in black behind them.They had originally planned to come to the amusement park today.The plan was to bring Richard along, but Cordy took him away at the last minute, so the two of them went along with the original plan and came here. To their surprise, they saw Cordy and Richard.Jessica's eyes shifted.Richard had never liked getting close to others since he was young, and he had never been a lively kid. Instead, he had a maturity that was beyond his years.Yet, he was completely different in front of Cordy.Jessica turned to look at John and saw how he kept his eyes on the two of them right in front until they were engulfed by the crowds."Let's go." John retracted his gaze and looked plainly at Jessica.A faint smile remained on Jessica's lips as she walked by John's side.Aside from the bodyguards surrounding them, there were also reporters deliberately planted around them.They were there to provide real-t

Richard pouted.He had never said that he wanted to take care of Jessica, his 'godmother', when she grew old.Even her status as his godmother was something she had forced upon him.Cordy simply listened to the conversation between Richard and Jessica.She remained silent, and so did John.Only Jessica and Richard could be heard in the queue, mostly with Jessica taking the initiative to tease Richard and him going along with it.After half an hour, it was finally their turn."Shall we ride together?" Jessica enthused.The Ferris wheel carriage was very large, enough to accommodate eight passengers."No need," Cordy rejected immediately. "We shan't interrupt your date.""It's all right," Jessica said generously."There are so many reporters around. It's not good if they film us together." Cordy was straightforward with her words.Clearly, she had noticed the hoard of people around them.Jessica turned to look at John, as if to seek his opinion."Let's sit separately," he s

But he also kept sensing a mixture of guilt in his Mommy's eyes whenever she looked at him.It was clearly Daddy who let Mommy down.Richard lay quietly in Cordy's arms without any resistance at all. He simply allowed her to hold him tight, as if she had lost him once and did not want him away from her side for even a second.The Ferris wheel carriage climbed higher and higher in the sky until they reached the peak.Cordy finally calmed herself down and replied to Richard's earlier question. "I don't feel sad at all with you around.""Mommy." Richard stretched his hand out and wiped the tears away from her face. That was when Cordy realized that she was tearing up.It was probably from emotions that she had kept to herself for too long. It was only now that she allowed herself to release a little bit of it.Cordy said affectionately, "Dicky, I'm really lucky to have you around.""No matter who Daddy marries, I'll always be by Mommy's side," Richard promised."Okay." Cordy

Of course, she would never let John know about these.The only thing she would let John know was that she was absolutely clueless about the sudden official announcement of their engagement. She was also forced to accept it, and she would even be willing to cooperate with John to break the engagement.Being in a relationship was similar to business negotiations. Blindly charging forward was never the way to go—she had to strategize and make plans."John, I added Cordy on her socials just now."John turned to look at her.It was as if she had to mention Cordy's name for John to pay attention to her."Should I explain to her about things between us?" Jessica said, well-intentioned."There's no need to." John rejected."She seems to have misunderstood us greatly.""All the more you need to avoid it." John was straightforward.Jessica pursed her lips.His words did nothing to ease the worry in her heart.She did not expect John to become so distant from her in just half a year

"I warned you long ago that John Levine would never fancy you, and you still went ahead to throw yourself at him. Look, you've gone and completely embarrassed yourself…"Cordy hung up without any hesitation.She had no expectations whatsoever for the Sachs.Her phone rang again.Cordy refused to answer it until finally, Simon called."Cordy Sachs, what kind of attitude was that toward your grandmother?" Simon was furious.Cordy could imagine how mad Plum was when she had hung up on Cordy just now."I don't have the obligation to accept her humiliation and scolding, nor am I duty-bound to listen to your criticisms." With that, Cordy made a move to end the call. Plum's voice rang out urgently from the phone. "Bryson said that you made him lose his job!" Plum probably figured that there was nothing she could do about Cordy and finally blurred out the objective of her call."That's his own business. It has nothing to do with me.""Nothing to do with you? Bryson said that it's

Back at the Sachs' residence, Plum was hopping with anger."Grandma, don't be so angry," Noel said, comforting Plum. "She's probably not feeling too good after John's engagement news, that's why she lost control and said those harsh words to you.""She had it coming!" Plum yelled. "She didn't know her place and seduced John, having a pipe dream of getting married into a wealthy family!""Cordy did think a little too highly of herself. How could we ever be worthy of a family like the Levines?" Noel said with a helpless look on her face, "But we live and learn. Let's hope that Cordy has learned her lesson this time."Despite what she said on the outside, Noel was not in fact happy with how things turned out. She thought that she would be capable of seducing whoever Cordy managed to get her hands on and was fantasizing about finding the golden opportunity to snatch John away from Cordy. It turned out that John was already engaged, and it was someone with such an intimidating backgro
