All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Even so, Cordy still failed to teach Dicky pronunciation that night.Cordy couldn’t bear pushing him anymore, and so let him sleep early. She would come back tomorrow to continue teaching him.Once Dicky got in bed, however, he refused to let her go.She couldn’t turn him down, not with that sad puppy face. Hence, she slept with him.After Dicky fell asleep, his babyish appearance softened her heart. She couldn’t resist leaning in to kiss him on the forehead.She would always be reluctant to part with him.Just as she was about to leave, Dicky suddenly spoke in his sleep. "Cool hwip… Cool whip…"Cordy's heart stung; she wondered if she had been too harsh.She just didn’t want Dicky to be ridiculed by his classmates and teachers, so she never realized that she had put him under so much pressure.Remembering what John had said, she gave Dicky another kiss, feeling slightly guilty about what she had done.She swore to herself she would be more patient tomorrow, and tucked him un

Cordy was left stunned for several seconds. After that, she collected herself and snapped angrily, "You could’ve said that earlier!"She honestly scared herself, since it almost seemed to be the inevitable conclusion. Did he enjoy teasing her that much? "You never gave me a chance to speak," John said bluntly. Cordy was livid—he had literally made a speech, rambling on and on about his academic achievements! For once, she didn’t get upset with him and left after finishing the rum baba.As usual, John drove his Maybach and followed her all the way back to her apartment.-Another two days passed; Cordy was in Dicky's room, once again teaching the boy pronunciation by separating the syllables. She seemed to hear something outside, but the wall was soundproofed so well that she thought she was simply hearing things. "Lee-id. Lid." Cordy continued to teach Dicky patiently, having become much calmer after finding out about Dicky's IQ score.She had done some reading, and foun

John pursed his lips, but he didn’t turn around to reply. Even so, Jessica remained standing behind him."Your grandfather requested me to visit," she explained. "He said it's been a while since I've come to North City, and that he missed me. I went straight to Levine Manor, but he insisted that I come to you. I came because I couldn't refuse—I would’ve called ahead if I had known. I'm sorry I made things so awkward."John swallowed as he turned around to look at her, but he wasn’t angry and didn’t blame her for anything. Despite his guilt, he didn’t have any kind words for her, and merely said bluntly, "Come on, I'll take you back to your hotel."Jessica was disappointed.So, he still refused to let her stay here.Even when they were abroad, he would send her home in the same manner—no matter how late it was, or how many vacant rooms there were at his place.Even after returning to Zidonia, he remained as distant as ever.At first, Jessica used to think that it was because he w

In the changing room, Dicky had just put on his clothes when a boy suddenly ran up to him and pushed him to the floor.Dicky glared coolly at the boy in return.He recognized him—the boy was Jerry from the next class, who just came second in the swimming event.Two tall and pudgy boys were with Jerry, staring Dicky down."You brat! You took first place from me! You're really asking for it!" Jerry threatened Dicky viciously."It's a fair competition. No one’s taking from anyone," Dicky said righteously, but just as he was about to get off the floor, Jerry slammed his foot down his little hand."Did I tell you to get up?!" Jerry snapped.Angered by Jerry's unreasonable outburst, Dicky pushed Jerry off firmly with his other hand.Jerry stumbled several steps backward, unable to believe that Dicky was actually resisting. "How dare you push me? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? He built this school! I just have to tell the teachers, and you'll be expelled!"Dicky,

Cordy’s slap left everyone on the scene dumbstruck. Everyone was surprised at how vicious she could be. All Eva could feel was the burning pain on her cheek. She could not quite react, even as Cordy snapped icily, "A child's discipline is their parents' responsibility. Since you insist on not disciplining your son, I’ll have to discipline you instead!""Cordy Sachs!" Eva shrieked shrilly, unable to believe that Cordy had just slapped her in front of so many people.If word got out, she would have no dignity left!Nonetheless, Cordy took Dicky with her and started to leave, refusing to waste her breath with them.Just as she turned, Adam intercepted her, looking utterly savage.He had no intention of fighting Cordy with that pretty face of hers. However, since he was Eva's husband, a slap to her face was no different from a slap to his face—he would never live it down.Dicky sensed danger, and promptly moved his little frame to stand before Cordy, protecting her.Cordy's heart
