A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1199

John rose to his feet nonetheless. "I'll walk you to the front gates, at least."

He really was meticulous when it came to Wendy.

"Okay," she smiled sweetly in turn, before turning to Cordy and Richard, "I'm sorry. I have to leave since my friend's in trouble. Enjoy your meal."

Cordy said nothing, while Richard nodded cheerfully. "Okay, Wendy. Come again next time."

"Of course I will."

"See you."

Wendy gave him a pat on the head before leaving.

When she was gone, Richard could not help sighing. "Wendy's so nice."

Cordy felt a little miffed at that but thought to herself that she really was not jealous this time.

She was just conflicted—should she expose Wendy here?

It took John a while to return after walking Wendy to the gates, and Cordy presumed that they must have gotten a little frisky.

They were still in the honeymoon period and were perhaps reluctant to be apart even for a second.

Cordy looked at John, who felt her gaze and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

She quickly averted her eyes and shook her head. "Nope."

She did not know where to begin and whether she would be ruining a relationship if she spoke up.

"If you don't like me around, I'll leave right after I clean up," John said just then.

Cordy was left stunned for a moment before realizing that John thought she still disliked having him around.

But the truth was that she did not feel averse to him, and they were gathered here for Richard's sake as well, so she quickly said, "I don't mean anything like that. We're doing this for Dicky, so you don't have to worry about it."
