All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 971 - Chapter 980

Zoe quickly changed the subject. [Still up this late?]Cordy replied: [Why'd you text me if you knew it's late?]Zoe was suddenly stumped, though Cordy soon sent another reply to answer the question. [I'm in bed. Just haven't fallen asleep.]Zoe exposed Cordy right then. [Because Lucas is marrying Nana Lynd tomorrow.] [It has nothing to do with them. I'm chronically insomniac.][Really?][Yeah.]Zoe didn’t press the issue. [Fair enough. So what's the secret?]Cordy didn’t reply, however, and Zoe was left restless—she was always rash, while Cordy was always calm.Someday, that woman would kill her. Still, Zoe’s phone started ringing with a call just as she started to draft another text.Zoe quickly answered. "Cordy?"On the other end, Cordy frowned. "What happened to your voice?"Huh. She forgot that she had lost her voice."Do you have a cold?" Cordy pressed."No.""Then how did your voice get so hoarse?""Uh…"Why Zoe was unsure how to explain, Cordy asked, "Wait,

Cordy was still unable to fall asleep after she hung up.She didn’t mind admitting to herself that she was losing sleep because it was John and Nana's wedding's tomorrow.However, having made up her mind, she was supposed to feel relieved towards it all…and yet, there was still a heavy load that she couldn’t get off her chest.Maybe it would be gone once John actually got married?She flipped in bed and kept trying to sleep when her phone jingled with another Whatsapp text message.Cordy was convinced it was Zoe, since that girl always imposed no matter the time.However, she picked up her phone to see that it was a text from Patrick.[Are you asleep? I'm at the capital now.]Cordy's heart skipped a beat—he had never mentioned that before.In fact, after the night they confirmed their relationship, they planned to go on another trip around the capital the next day to let their feelings grow. However, he ended up returning to Rocktown early the next morning for work, and she ha

Patrick snapped, "What, do you kiss only after you're married? What, are you from ancient times, boomer?!""I don't know," Sean replied flatly. "All I know is that you don't get to do it here in my house as long as you're not married."Patrick almost had a stroke right then. "Look, man—"Sean, however, simply ignored Patrick and firmly pulled his hand off Cordy, who was watching everything in silence. She could see that Patrick could jump from sheer frustration. Even so, Sean added threateningly, "Watch yourself if you don't want to get kicked out of my house."Patrick gritted his teeth, clearly withholding the hissy fit he was just about to let loose.Cordy couldn’t help smiling as she watched that reaction; she always had the feeling that Patrick was completely powerless when he was around Sean—as if Sean had Patrick grabbed by the balls."Go to bed," Sean repeated sternly at Cordy, scowling.Cordy glanced at Patrick, worried that he would blow up right then and there; howev

Patrick grinned. "So? Do you think we're a perfect fit for one another?"Before Cordy could answer, the store assistant nearby promptly praised them sycophantically, "Of course, Mr. Stuart! You and Miss Sachs are a match made in heaven—no one deserves each other more than you two!"Patrick was obviously delighted from the obvious fawning, and there was no hiding the dazzling smile on his face.Later, Cordy was escorted by the store's staff to the makeup station, while Patrick took a seat on a nearby couch and waited. While others would be killing time by fiddling with their phones or reading something, Patrick was resting his chin on one hand as he stared straight at Cordy.…As if worried she would disappear in the blink of an eye.The staff who were helping Cordy with her makeup were getting embarrassed by his stare, and couldn’t help teasing, "Are you that afraid we'd abduct Miss Sachs, sir?"Cordy blushed, and snapped a little grumpily, "Could you keep your eyes to yourself,

Someone else added, "That's right. Let old Jesse rest. His health is of utmost importance."Sean nodded, and wheeled 'Jesse' into a lounge reserved for them. He then spotted Cordy and shot her a knowing look.Cordy hurried to his side, while everyone else in the banquet watched in slight surprise.How did she manage to get in Sean's good graces?!Once they were inside and ensured that no one was eavesdropping, Sean told Cordy, "Jean will definitely come by to visit Jesse. Play along when the time comes.""Okay." Cordy nodded. Then she asked, "Is Dicky going to be alright at Cranston Hall?"She had her boy stay there since something might happen today, as she refused to put him in potential danger."Don't worry," Sean assured her. "My people are watching him.""Right." Cordy nodded.Silence ensued, until someone suddenly opened the door.Jean then entered, escorted by the rest of her family.She began slowly, "Jesse…""I'm sorry, ma'am," Sean said, standing between her and '
