"I'm coming with you," Sean said, asserting his stance.Though he wanted Cordy to go, he would never allow her to suffer any grief.Still, Cordy told him, "It's okay. You've been on your feet the whole night. You should get some proper rest for the day.""No, I'm perfectly fine. Let's go."Cordy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t turn him down.Sean only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as he could. As the eldest of his generation, he was obliged to help his father and grandfather in handling various family issues, and he certainly took that responsibility seriously. Moreover, he wanted Cordy to understand that he would always be at her side, protecting her no matter what.However, Cordy was unsure why he was so nice to her.Sure, she was as rich as she was famous. However, she couldn’t see what Sean would get out of helping her so much.Well, perhaps she could just pretend it was due to their familial bond."I'll tell Dicky," she said, since she was worried the

As Lucas entered the room, Sean stirred—he was the type who got woken up easily.Staring at the blanket over himself for a moment and then at Cordy, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?""Less than ten minutes," Cordy said feebly. As a chronic insomniac, she had a profound empathy for being woken up abruptly.Sean stretched his arms, and didn’t appear to be upset from being woken up abruptly. "I wasn't tired, but fell asleep for some reason. You brought me this blanket?""It's nothing.""I know." Sean smiled faintly. Was she really so concerned to let on that she was actually that nice?She definitely got that from her mother, his aunt."Come in," Lucas said, suddenly emerging from Nana's room. "Nana’s asking to see you.""She's finally awake," Sean said, though his tone was a little grumpy."Yeah," Cordy said, and nothing else as they followed Lucas inside.Nana's face was still pale and she looked weak, but she smiled when she saw them come in. Seeing her like that, anyo

Lucas pursed his lips, but said nothing."Yes, he’s too worried about me. Otherwise, he'd never yell at people without knowing what happened. He usually doesn't behave like that," Nana defended Lucas.It appeared as if she wanted them to settle their differences, but in reality, anyone could tell that she was bragging about her close relationship with Lucas. However, she conveyed herself so naturally there would never be wounded feelings."That's how people behave when it comes to people they care about," Cordy said, agreeing to it.She was convinced it was fine as long as they cleared the air, and that she didn’t need any apologies. It was unnecessary, and was no big deal in the first place."Don't worry, Cordy. I'll head home soon and talk to my family to clear the misunderstanding," Nana promised."Thank you," Cordy replied, not rejecting the offer since it was naturally better to clear her name. Otherwise, things would be difficult for her grandfather Jesse."Of course. Bu

Lucas stared numbly at Cordy's nonchalant reaction.He had always believed Cordy wanted him, but now, it was very clear that she didn’t have the slightest inclination towards him.In fact, she wanted very much to have nothing to do with him.Gulping, he murmured, "Travel safe."In the end, there was no doubt that Cordy and he were just strangers who met by chance. Any excessive attachments were unnecessary.Cordy nodded and got in the car with Sean, and left.On the way back to Cranston Hall, Sean asked, "Why didn't you let Lucas apologize?""Why should I? I know for a fact that his outburst wasn’t deliberate," Cordy replied as she reclined against her seat and took in the sights outside. "Moreover, getting confrontational with pointless people is a waste of my time.""Don't you feel any sentiment towards him… Like, at all?" Sean asked quietly. "I mean, the man really resembles John.""Yes, but that doesn't make him John. And I've always been rational." Is that so? In fact

It was really late when Dicky finally returned to Cranston House. Cordy would’ve started to worry that he might be abducted if they weren't keeping in touch on the phone."Where have you been for so long?" she asked, but there was no edge in her voice.She would never scold him, though she was curious. Her son always showed propriety, and he would expect her to worry if he left for too long.However, he still stayed out for a long time."Yeah…" Dicky was staring at Cordy, but didn’t answer her question."Well, as long as you're back. Don't be late next time, or your mother might really call the cops," Jesse joked."Yes, Great-grandfather." Dicky nodded."You must be hungry, right? Come, let's eat," Jesse said as he took Dicky warmly by the hand and led the latter to the dining table.Dicky turned to glance at Cordy. He looked as if he had something to say, but was hesitant to do it.As such, he remained distracted as he sat with everyone else at the dining table.Cordy natura

[Oh.]Quinn didn’t ask further questions at that. She knew that Cordy's life was all about Dicky now, and Cordy would never say no to the boy.Zoe then added: [By the way, I miss him a little now that you’ve mentioned him.] Cordy offered: [Want to see him? He's a little hunk now, and almost my height.]Zoe refused. [Forget it. That can wait until I'm successful… I mean, I used to be, so I can't let Dicky feel that I'm down and out. Or at least as successful as Cora.][You're still as successful as her.] Quinn butted in.[Zip it. Do you think you'd be that nonchalant if you’re in my place? I've just been assigned a harder grind for now. Once I overcome this, I'll be a star again.]Cordy couldn’t help smiling at that.Just then, someone knocked on her door."Come in," she said.Dicky entered her room in dark-blue pajamas. Cordy checked the time to see that it was already past nine.What was he doing up? Wasn't he supposed to be tired? Somehow, he appeared to have a lot we

Cordy raised a brow. "Why? You don't want to go home?""No, I just…" Dicky muttered, and trailed off. Still, Cordy knew that this was about Lucas.Was the boy convinced that Lucas was his father, and therefore wanted to spend more time with Lucas?She actually wondered if Dicky went looking for Lucas earlier today. The thought of that possibility strengthened her resolve to leave the capital."Okay…" Dicky finally gave in.In the end, his mommy didn't love his daddy anymore. Daddy was definitely out of line too, protecting another woman in front of Mommy, and scolding Mommy harshly to boot.Mommy had every reason to hate Daddy."Good night, Mommy. I'm going to bed now.""Goodnight, dear." Dicky returned to his room, and stared at the paternity test on the table. He waited the whole day for that, and he wanted to show it to his mommy.But now, it was pointless.He tore the papers into pieces, and threw the pieces into the bin.Since Mommy didn’t care, letting her know w

Cordy could immediately tell that the bracelet was worth a fortune, even priceless.There was no way she could say it out loud, though."This has nothing to do with Nana," Jean told Cordy. "It's just a present to celebrate our first meeting since your return to the family. Don't be shy. I’ll get upset if you keep refusing me.""That’s right, Cordy. You should just take it—don't get so cagey!" Nana said beside them. "Grandma spent a long time picking it from her private collection. Both Lucas and I think it really suits you. Try it!""Cordy, you should accept it since it's a gift," Jesse added.Even if Cordy really didn’t want to owe anyone anything, she had no choice but to accept the diamond bracelet. "Thank you, Mrs. Lynd.""We're family, don't be so formal. Come, I'll help you put it on.""Okay." With the bracelet on her wrist, the emerald glint on her slender wrist made her look much prettier. "See? I was just saying it suits you. It's simply gorgeous!" Nana flattered Co
