A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1128

She was used to having Sean receive her at the airport, but she was a little disappointed that she did not see Patrick.

"Where's Patrick?" she asked in the car.

Richard had returned to North City for a while now, and she did not bring him along this time.

He had his classes too, and she did not want to make him skip too many classes even if prodigies like him did not care much about normal schooling knowledge.

"He's home, but he hasn't fully recovered. I didn't let him come along since it would be taxing, especially since he has to travel early tomorrow," Sean explained.

"You've really taken good care of him for me, haven't you?" Cordy joked.

Sean was suddenly nervous as he explained, "W-Well, that's because he's your boyfriend, y'know?"

Cordy did a double take—she was just making an offhand joke, so why was Sean suddenly so nervous as if she had read his mind?

However, Sean soon recovered despite Cordy's stare. "And he saved my life, didn't he?"

"I guess." Cordy smiled pointedly.

Sean ignored her and turned aside, which only made Cordy further convinced that Sean was acting weird.

It was only when they arrived at Cranston Hall that she realized what Sean was hiding.

It turns out that Sean was just helping Patrick hide a surprise, and she realized that her thinking had been getting a little polluted.
