A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Cordy hadn't pressed any of the buttons on the elevator either, so it was still stuck on the underground car park floor.

Zoe, who was standing there, was shocked when the doors opened.

Coming back in the early hours of the morning was scary enough, and the sudden loud noise from the elevator was almost enough to send her running back from where she came from.

She stared at the couple in the elevator, petrified.

It was only when the elevator let out a beep that Zoe returned to her senses. She hurriedly retreated and said, "C-Carry on! I didn't see anything!"

And then the doors slid close.

That was scary as hell!

John and Cordy were actually inside the elevator, and...

After calming down, Zoe suddenly realized that Cordy had been crying. John wouldn't have... forced himself on her, right?!

With that thought in mind, she hurriedly pressed the elevator button again, watching anxiously as the numbers came down.

Inside the elevator, John roughly shoved Cordy back into her clothes. Cordy was hurt by the barbaric treatment, but she endured it in silence.

When the elevator arrived on the floor, John pulled Cordy to her unit door and punched in the security code hurriedly. Once the door opened, he pushed her in.

Cordy stood in her house, staring at John as he remained at the entrance without indicating he was coming in.

So... His eagerness to bring her in was not to sleep with her...?

Cordy had just been thinking she would need to change her security code after tonight.

"Cordy/ John called out in a tight voice. "Dont let go. I really, really want to have a future with you. Very badly."

After he finished speaking, John closed the door.

Zoe must have seen it wrongly.

It was impossible for John to cry!

He hadn't shed a tear when his parents died, but she was sure he had. Otherwise, his eyes wouldn't have been so swollen on the day of their burial.

Zoe had once thought John couldn't shed tears unless it was in a life-and- death situation, but was he actually crying because of Cordy?

When she thought about it again, she was able to understand. John and Cordy must've fought hard because of their conflicting views. The engagement between John and Jessica had been publicized in pomp and splendor; it was impossible for Cordy to be completely unaffected, regardless of how rational and indifferent she was.

If Zoe guessed right, Cordy must have mentioned breaking off their relationship. John must be heartbroken.

Although the two had only been dating briefly, she knew John truly loved Cordy. Why else would a stubborn bachelor like him fall into the river of love so easily? After getting together with Cordy, John became such an amiable person.

Zoe had a soft spot for her cousin, and her heart melted when she saw him suffering. She also forgot her intention of questioning him on why he had forced himself on Cordy.

With a concerned look on her face, she approached him and asked cautiously, "John, do you want to get a drink with me and vent a little?"
