A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

Cordy had no idea what time it was when she woke up, only that she felt limp and muddled.

The room she was in was pitch-black and completely unfamiliar.

She could not even remember how she got here or how she got into this bed…

Bed?!

Cordy promptly pulled off her blanket to check her clothes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her clothes hugging her body neatly and tidily.

However, she suddenly became nervous just as she was about to relax-she was not wearing this when she got here!

Who helped her change? Could it be John?!

Cordy also lifted her pajamas to check… and her bra was gone!

Her face went crimson right then-how could she sleep so soundly?!

Did she not always jolt awake from the slightest movement?

How could she let down her guard around John when he was such a dangerous man?

“Could you be imagining some dramatic events in your head, Ms. Sachs? An attractive man’s voice spoke beside her ears just then.

Startled, Cordy quickly turned and saw the man leaning nonchalantly against the doorway, watching her with amusement.

“When did you get here?” she demanded, sounding clearly upset.

“I’ve seen everything I should and shouldn’t anyway,” John answered vaguely.

But that response almost killed Cordy.

What was that supposed to mean? Was he the one who took off her clothes?! Where was the respect he promised to show?!

In the end, all men are pigs!

In the living room downstairs, John was sitting on the expensive leather couch, crossing his legs while he read the local paper.

A gourmet chef was cooking in the open-air kitchen while five uniformed waitresses bowed when they saw Cordy.

“We will start eating now,” John said then, putting down the papers and rising to his feet.

He walked up to Cordy, dressed in all white.

Though he appeared milder in that hue, his ridiculously handsome face could not be hidden.

And that towering figure of his left her feeling pressured ever so slightly.

He was born with a kingly aura, and her heart skipped a beat the next instant as he reached out to take her hands, even locking fingers.

She pursed her lips but slowly and quietly allowed it.

John’s lips curled into a smile, and he led her to the window seat of the dining room.
