A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 435
The sudden change in subject left Cordy taken aback."What, you don't want to leave?" Patrick teased her."I mean, I would like to, but I'd rather not trouble you," Cordy said bluntly. "I can't even get out of bed right now.""I'm just kidding," Patrick said. "I won't be able to take you with me even if I came, not to mention that I have no idea where you are. I'm sure John would do all he can to hide you from me, but that's the point—he's keeping you very well hidden, so be at ease and take your time to rest for a while at his place."Cordy could not quite describe how she felt after hearing what Patrick said.That was when another call came in, and she said, "I'm hanging up. Jessica is calling John's phone.""Ask the man to buy you a phone, okay? Just stick to your old number so that we can keep in touch," Patrick did not forget to tell her."I know."Once she hung up, she called out at the direction of the door, "John!"John opened the door and entered, having been waiting

In fact, one might even describe it as water under the bridge.After all, Jessica had invested a fortune on Noel, so there was no way she would just let Noel enjoy all the perks for free.In fact, the moment Noel accepted Jessica's grace was the moment her nightmare began!Nonetheless, Cordy felt no sympathy as she lowered her phone.Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared over my head.She recognized who it was coupled with that scent—John had been staying with her for days, staying just next door.Despite the announcement of his wedding date, the man was staying away from his fiancee.Cordy could scarcely imagine how mad Jessica was right about now."It's lunch time," John told her mildly.Surprisingly, they had been getting along well over the last few days—no confrontations, but no flirting either.They were just friends, with neither crossing the line.Cordy followed John through the living room and had lunch with him.Through it all, his phone was ringing repeatedly."You s

Cordy only spared it a single glance before putting down her phone, along with her fork."Do you not like the dish, Ms. Sachs?" the chef asked nervously just then."No, I just feel a little sick," Cordy smiled faintly—the food was not bad at all, but the psychosomatic effect had already kicked in."Should I ask the doctor to give you another checkup?" the chef suggested."No, it's fine."The doctor had left days ago, since she was healthy aside from her broken leg."Then…""Just go about your usual work. Don't mind me," Cordy said, rising to her feet and heading out of the mansion on her crutches.In the end, she was feeling annoyed. There were times when one could lie to everyone, but not themselves. Her phone suddenly started to ring just then, and upon seeing who it was, she took a deep breath and forced a smile as she greeted, "Zoe.""Are you still in Rocktown?" Zoe asked."Yeah. Is something the matter?" "No, I was just thinking about inviting you and Quinn over to

Cordy was actually supportive of Zoe's relationship with Bob, though she also held out a little hope on Jay in a corner of her heart.Maybe, just maybe…Even then, Cordy found that part of her conflicting. "You mean we should be doing it already?" Zoe asked."I actually thought that you two were hitting it off," Cordy replied. "I'm actually surprised that you're that conservative.""Not really, it's just that things haven't really gotten that far… but he caught me watching an adult video a while ago," Zoe confessed awkwardly."You were watching what?" Cordy laughed. "Don't start. I was just checking it out since Quinn asked for help, but Bob somehow stumbled upon me browsing! To be honest, we almost did it right then… if Bob didn't suddenly have to leave for some thingamajig.""And then? Was there no other opportunities?" Cordy asked. "I never knew you were that shy.""I'm a girl too, woman," Zoe snapped. "I can't exactly just take the lead! Also, Bob may look like a playboy

As Cordy turned around, John wrapped his arms around her from behind.A pungent alcoholic sent filled her nostrils right then—he had definitely been drinking too much."Don't go," he whispered, holding her fast while his lips inched closer to her nape, greedily inhaling her distinctly fresh scent. It really made him lose his mind.His arms tightened around her, and his lips pressed flirtatiously against her nape."Two-timing feels really good, huh?" Cordy suddenly asked, unusually cold toward his affection.John tensed up, while Cordy continued to scoff, "Between Jessica and I, which of us feels better to hug?"John clearly stiffened right then.Cordy then added, "I'm sorry, but I really hate jasmine-scented perfume."She clearly picked up the scent of Jessica's perfume on his body, after all.John's arms clearly eased around her, and she just had to shrug a little to free herself.She shut the door tightly behind herself, as if shutting her heart from him as well.With th

As they ate, one of the servants walked up to John and asked respectfully, "Mr. Levine, you were saying to throw away that set of formal wear last night?"He was probably uncertain since John's clothing was worth a fortune, and they would never afford to pay the compensation if they were to throw it away by mistake."Yeah." John nodded.The servant certainly had more to say, but considering that they did not know what it was like to be rich, he replied politely, "Yes, Mr. Levine."With that, he left.Cordy watched as he left before glancing at John."Actually, you could just send me back to North City," Cordy suddenly said, since she did not believe that he was happier with her around.Being sandwiched between two women would only make one infuriated.Nonetheless, John refused her immediately. "I'd be more at ease with you beside me.""And how long do you intend to keep me here?""We'll see." John refused to give a definitive answer.Cordy bit her lip but ultimately refraine

Bob was about to argue with Sam when Jay suddenly said, "I do. I believe Bob."Bob naturally knew that Sam wanted to goad him into bringing Zoe along to meet them.They had been dating for months, but he never brought her along to meet his best friends.There were times when Sam pressured him so much he would give in, but Zoe would say no whenever he asked.He knew Zoe did not feel safe after the trouble between her and the Levines, and no one was aware that they were dating, save for Zoe's best friends Cordy and Quinn. Moreover, Zoe was worried that the Levines would harass Bob if too many people knew, and she definitely did not want that, insisting that she knew Nancy Levine too well. It would take some time for Nancy's rage to ease, until she would not go out of her way to harass Zoe—only then could they be together without any issues.Naturally, Bob respected Zoe's decision, though it was more apt to say that Zoe mattered more to him than his friends.That was why he would

Cora appeared a little shy. "Hello."It had been months since she was brought to the Levine family, but she still could not get used to life in high society. She was always apprehensive about everything, which made her appear confident.Like right now—after greeting Bob, she said nothing else, leaving an awkwardness in the air."Oh, you." Yulia smartly tried to smooth things over. "Aren't you usually talkative? You're mute as soon as you see a pretty face, huh?"Bob was going to argue, but Nancy already spoke. "Sorry. I've been overprotective of Cora and haven't brought her out of the house much. I guess that made her a little shy.""Oh, just bring her along whenever. Bob's never busy, so he can hang out with her.""What do you mean, I'm never busy? I'm always busy, y'know," Bob argued."Busy with what? Drinking yourself silly?" Yulia snapped, denying him even dignity.Since there was no chance of Bob arguing in front of so many people, Nancy quickly said, "Well, Bobby, I'm cou
