A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 266
Cordy wasn't angry at John's words. Looking at the disaster on John's body, she could also tell how out of control she had been last night.Her face felt like it was on fire, and even her ears were hot."Wait a bit. I'll head out and buy some clothes for you," Cordy said as she got up from the bed. "Consider it payback for last night."John felt like he had gone through life and death last night. Yet, this woman was telling him she'd just buy a set of clothes as compensation?Well, that was fine.He was content that Cordy didn't hate him. He was even getting some clothes out of it; that meant he had hit the jackpot.Cordy went to another room to change, but Zoe tumbled in as soon as she opened the door. The former was startled, and John hastily wrapped the covers tighter around his body to avoid exposing anything."Zoe?" Cordy exclaimed while holding onto Zoe, who was about to fall flat on her face.Zoe had a hard time steadying herself. She tried to explain, "I-I wasn't eavesd

"Do as I say, but not as I do, huh?" Zoe complained, but she had toned down now after John's outburst. Seriously? John had been a father since he was twenty-one!"Get out," John ordered, not wanting to talk to her anymore.Zoey reluctantly obeyed his words, as was her habit. She got up to leave, but suddenly stopped to say, "Aren't you afraid you'll suffocate to death with how tightly you wrapped yourself in that?"John ignored her and pulled the covers even more tightly around him.Zoe then remembered that Cordy had mentioned going out to buy John some clothes. Could it be...Was he wearing nothing underneath the covers?Wow! How intense had last night been?So he was trying to indicate that no one could take a peek at his body apart from Cordy? Not even his cousin? 'Oh, this virtuous man! May all the male compatriots in this world put up with you!' Zoe thought as she walked out of the bedroom in a huff, and closed the door behind her. With her cousin's personality, he mi

"Finally! Time for food!" Zoe said excitedly as she walked up to them.Cordy felt a little guilty. She knew Zoe had been waiting for them, and hadn't eaten all day because of that."Aren't you going to eat, John?" Zoe asked the man who was standing there without moving. "You worked so hard last night, so you must be hungry. Look, you're even losing muscle mass because of hunger! Come on. I've ordered some soup for you."Zoe was enthusiastic about it, but John simply stared at Cordy. Just then, his stomach let out a loud rumble."...Zoe ordered it for you. You should eat before you leave," Cordy finally said.John had been fighting down a smile, and the corner of his lips quirked up at her reply. Zoe also had a cunning smile on her face at Cordy's words.Somehow, Cordy felt like she had been set up by the two of them.The three sat down at the dining table and started to eat. Zoe was livelier than the two, and started pointing out the dishes on the table. "This is an herbal chi

After dinner, Cordy and Zoe sat on the couch in the living room, eating fruit and drinking coffee as they watched TV.As Zoe was in the entertainment industry, it was easy to make her laugh. Simply watching a variety show was enough to get her rolling around in laughter. Life seemed much happier when you were with someone who loved to laugh.Cordy pulled out her phone to check her messages, as was her habit. Even if she didn't go to work, she still had to deal with work. While replying to her messages, she listened to Zoe's exaggerated laughter beside her.Cordy didn't think it was noisy. Rather, she found the sound comforting.Once she was done dealing with work, Cordy browsed through the news. Her breath stuttered when she saw what was on it, and her expression changed.Zoe had finished laughing after the last joke on TV, and was about to get another cup of coffee when she saw Cordy's face."What's wrong?" Zoe asked.She was afraid now to see a frown on Cordy's face, because

Just then, someone sent a message to Cordy's WhatsApp. She opened her app to find that it was John. [Do you want to cover up the news?]The news and public opinion were clearly in their favor, but John was worried Cordy wouldn't be able to endure it.[No need.] Cordy replied bluntly.She didn't agree with Noel's cruel methods, but Cordy wasn't kind enough to pity the man who had wanted to hurt her.She would simply sit back and enjoy the show.[Got it.]With that, Cordy exited the app. She got up from the couch and stretched her still sore body before saying to Zoe, "I'm going to lie down for a while."Zoe was still reading the news on her phone, clearly worked up, but she nodded in response. "I'm sure you're exhausted from last night. Go ahead and get some rest."The younger woman didn't even look up at Cordy and her full attention was on her phone. Cordy guessed that she was probably cursing out Kyle with the other people in the thread while also enjoying the drama. Rathe

West Point Detention Center.Cordy went through the standard paperwork to visit Kyle.She didn’t have the slightest sympathy for him, but she was convinced he should understand many things by now.Especially the fact that while Cordy would never hurt others, she wouldn’t allow herself to be taken advantage of.If she was harmed, then she would take an eye for an eye.It was just after 24 hours in custody, but Kyle looked far more worn than Cordy expected. He had always been attentive toward his personal appearance. In fact, the reason she was drawn to him in the first place while they were abroad was because he would always wear clean, white collared shirts or t-shirts. Together with his innocent, youthful smile, he would always project the image of a fresh and easygoing person. Yet now, all that remains of that charming youth was gloom and filth.But with all sentiment she once held towards him gone up in smoke, Cordy would remain apathetic no matter how pitiful he had becom

Cordy whipped out her phone, tapped on the news headlines, and showed it to Kyle. "You were framed by Noel from the very start. Since you’ve been here since yesterday, you probably wouldn't know what's in the news. Here, enjoy!"Kyle had an idea of what she wanted to show him; he couldn’t be bothered to even glance at it and instead growled through his teeth, "Are you done mocking me?""It's not mocking…" Cordy paused. "Actually, I guess it counts."While Kyle was seething, Cordy tapped on the photos in the article to show him. "That said, I'd prefer it if you can recognize the truth. Why don't you look at those photos?"Finally, Kyle couldn’t resist the temptation and looked at them. When he did, his eyes turned bloodshot in disbelief."I'm sure you're not stupid enough to think John or myself published these photos, are you?" Cordy continued. "This happened even before John came.""What are you trying to say?!" Kyle growled through clenched teeth. "You still don't get it, do
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 273
Once Cordy was done talking, she simply sat and stared at Kyle silently, even as he crumbled from disbelief. He was working so hard to restrain himself. Otherwise, he would suffer even more, especially when detained in a place like this.The past twenty-four hours had been more than enough for a life lesson."Take care," Cordy said, and began to leave. She had no other words of parting for Kyle, either—he was plenty pathetic now, even if she wanted to call him that. He faced prison time, and given the public's outrage towards his actions, his family, which was already going through a crisis, could very well go bankrupt soon. When that happened, he would truly lose everything and suffer no end of contempt. He would also be the pariah of the Jessops.Such karmic retribution was plenty enough; Cordy didn’t need to say more. Just as she rose to her feet, Kyle suddenly asked her, "Have you ever loved me, Cordy?"She pursed her lips, actually surprised he would ask this on thei
