All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Cordy looked at John, who stood before her. John had indeed called her many times today, and even sent her messages on WhatsApp. She hadn't meant to ignore them, but had been extremely busy. In the evening after work, she also had to deal with Bryson when he came to retaliate against her. She didn't even have time to breathe.Cordy thought that John wouldn't look for her today and would wait till tomorrow. Yet here he was, appearing out of the blue at three in the morning.She didn't even know how John knew where she was. With how skillful John was, though, he would still know where she was even if she went to hide underground.Naturally, Kyle saw John as well. Surprise flashed in his eyes.Hadn't John already announced his relationship with Jessica? Jessica had just left, yet John came looking for Cordy immediately after?!At this hour, much less?Cordy hadn't denied that she had been in an illicit affair with John the last time they were on the phone, but based on her persona

Even after Cordy said that, silence remained in the car. John acted as if he hadn’t heard any of Cordy's words. He kept his eyes firmly on the road, not looking away.Cordy shoved down the turbulent emotions swirling angrily inside her. As calmly as she could, she continued, "I have an important meeting early tomorrow morning, and it's already very late right now.""I know," John replied.Cordy waited a long time after he replied, but John didn't speak again.She bit her lip, frustrated.Since he wasn't going to say anything else, she leaned back in her seat and stared out the car window at the night scenery once more.Soon, they arrived at North Garden's underground car park. Cordy unbuckled her seat belt but remained seated. She turned to John and said, "Go ahead."Perhaps John couldn't multitask while driving and needed to focus on the road. That was fine, because Cordy had no intentions of being careless with her life."It's too late now. Go back home and get some rest. I

Cordy didn't reply.Sometimes, silence really could replace everything."I didn't mean to hide the fact that I was the man who slept with you when you were eighteen," John admitted. "I asked you before if you hated him, and you said yes. I thought I’d tell you when our relationship was more stable, when you no longer rejected physical contact with me. Maybe... Just maybe, you’d be able to accept my presence."Cordy listened quietly, not interrupting him at all. And so, John went on. "At that time, I had just returned from abroad and was drinking with Bob and a few other friends. At the bar, I saw you while you were delirious. A man approached you, and you tried to refuse him. I went up to you two and pushed him away, and then you leaned against me. You felt hot to touch. I admit that I took you to a hotel, but where else was I going to take you? I didn't know, and you were burning up. I asked you, but you didn't say anything. After that, when we reached the hotel, you pushed me on

"I did it to cope with the current situation!" John argued, somewhat agitatedly. "My resistance only worsens things, especially when I don't have the power to go against my grandfather!""Then what makes you think you can convince me that it’ll change in just six months?"Her retort dumbfounded John. There was nothing he could say that could convince her, all the more so when his actions couldn't prove otherwise."Perhaps my doubts aren’t because you're not capable of it," Cordy said, "but because I don't love you enough. So, it's best for us to separate now while our relationship hasn't gotten deep enough."Cordy pushed open the car door again.Seriously, enough was enough.She didn't want to be involved with him any longer."You can take the car. Just have Walter drive it back to me when he has time."Cordy got out of the car and left with confident steps. As far as she was concerned, she and John would forget about each other, and that was the end of it.But as she walked i

John kept his head hung low and didn't respond to Zoe for a long time. For a moment, Zoe thought he had fallen asleep. After all, it was four in the morning. She had just returned from an outstation announcement, and was also very sleepy. Just as she thought that, John slowly raised his head and replied, "Let's go."Wait, really? She had only offered to be nice. More than anything, she wanted to burrow under the warm covers of her bed right now.Regardless, Zoe followed John out for a late-night snack.They chose a small street store. The good thing was that there wasn't anyone else around at such a late hour, and she was so heavily armed that no one recognized her."John, shouldn't you drink less?" Zoe said, trying to discourage him from drinking too much.She couldn't sit idly and watch as her cousin drowned himself in alcohol ever since he sat down.So many dishes were before him, but he hadn't even touched his utensils. It wouldn't be strange if he got alcohol poisoning fro
