All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

Lucas urged Dicky, "Now go back inside. It's cold out here.""What about you?""I'm taking a stroll. Cabin fever.""Yeah…""Why don't you join me?" Lucas offered.Dicky didn’t refuse, and they started to stroll around the back garden. "You really love Nana, don't you?" Dicky suddenly asked. Lucas, however, was reluctant to answer. "What does a kid know about love?""What don't I know? I was six when I started helping my daddy woo mommy.""You're amazing," Lucas said.He almost couldn’t resist patting Dicky's head again, but lowered his hand when he remembered how Dicky refused him last time.For some reason, he had a real but indescribable affinity for Dicky. Maybe it was an attraction towards the boy just because they shared the same face?He never felt any desire to have children, and was even willing to be abstinent because of Nana's health issues.However, his heart seemed to change because of Dicky. Still, Nana's health took priority."Do you really love Nana?" Dic

Dicky took out the gold bullion, which left Cordy taken aback.It wasn’t small, and obviously quite heavy.Handing it to her, Dicky said, "Lucas gave it to me, saying he didn't know what to give. I can't use it anyway, so you can have it."Cordy was left speechless. Who on earth gives a kid gold bullions?Fashioning it into jewelry would be more acceptable!However, a thought occurred to Cordy when she took it. Was this actually Lucas's gift to her? Was he using Dicky as an intermediary to make amends for losing his temper at her the other day?After all, it would be more convincing if he gave Dicky something that suited Dicky’s age. An adult, on the other hand… Cordy decided she was too lazy to figure it out, since it was pointless anyway.As a business person, she had no reason to refuse a huge gold bullion. In fact, she would be less interested if it was just jewelry. No one could refuse such a gift.-After having dinner with the Lynds and seeing them off, Cordy lef

Patrick grinned. "I could tell. But what if it's actually a yes, too?""No, it isn't," Cordy growled."I mean, who knows? You actually hated me when I touched you before, but you're touching me willingly now, aren't you?"Cordy was left utterly speechless. Was she not making sense before?"I mean, whatever your reason was, you touched me on your own accord," Patrick added very flirtatiously, before studying her for a moment. "That said, you rarely gave another person so much attention. You really hate Nana, don't you?""Nope.""Don't bother trying to trick me.""Nana's really your ideal type, huh? You men are all the same. ""You're my ideal type," Patrick said solemnly."Save the flattery," Cordy snorted, completely skeptical. "I mean, Nana is the type who… Actually, I can't really describe her, but either way, she's not my type." Patrick certainly didn’t know how to comment on Nana. He didn’t feel that positive about her at first sight, but wasn’t exactly repulsed either

Zoe wanted to challenge herself—she would abandon Cora's interpretation of the character and make a completely new character instead. However, doing so had its risks; the audience might not be used to the new character since it went against what they remembered, which in turn would lead to her being slaughtered. After thinking things through, Zoe decided to stick to Cora's interpretation.The audience began to vote after the contestants' performances before the program moved on to the judges' comments.Hailey was the most experienced amongst the judges, and she had been watching solemnly.She was even more solemn after watching Zoe's team's performance.Zoe, Wynn, and Candice felt their hearts racing nervously. They more or less managed to recreate the performance as it was, but had no idea if the judges and audience would buy it.Hailey then spoke, "First and foremost, it's commendable that the performance overall was replicated without obvious mistakes. Naturally, there were

Zoe was simply waiting for Jay’s impending critique, since Hailey had mentioned almost everything that could be said.At this point, there was nothing she couldn’t accept.She was actually retaining her usual smile, having weathered through the world shattering beneath her feet over the years but bearing with it anyway.She would always put on her best performance in front of the cameras. She just had to do her utmost, even if no one was buying it.After all, your effort was disproportional—even inconsequential—to your success in this world.Nonetheless, Jay continued, "I'm sure anyone who was involved in a stage production would understand that a performance with zero mistakes is exceedingly difficult. It involves perfection in everything including your breathing, expressions, movements, dialog, and interaction with your fellow actors. And yet, no one has achieved that today, save for Zoe."Zoe simply kept smiling at Jay, but without gratitude in her eyes or the rejoicing of bei
