A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 611

Cordy and Lucas rode the same car back to the hotel.

Neither of them spoke along the way, staying silent as if they were two strangers sharing a cab.

They kept their distance when they returned to the hotel as well, heading inside one after another.

Even as they got in the elevator, they looked like they would rather die than talk to each other.

Arriving on her floor, Cordy arrived at her room and was about to open the door when Patrick suddenly opened it, exclaiming, "Surprise!"

Cordy was left stunned even as fresh flower petals rained down on her.

The man was supposed to be more mature than this!

Why was a political elite behaving like a little boy around her?!

Seeing that she was speechless, he asked tentatively, "Don't you like it?"

"Nope."

Patrick's tone turned wounded. "I was thinking that it'd be a waste to throw those flowers I bought the other day, so I plucked every petal to prepare a gift celebrating your discharge from the hospital."

Cordy actually imagined him crouching alone on the floor, carefully plucking the petals just then.

There was no question that she was occasionally cold toward him.

"Well, do you feel better now?" Patrick asked, changing the subject just then—he was never going to hold a grudge against her anyway, which only left Cordy feeling guilty every time.

Still, she was not sure if it was not a tactic of his either, since politicians were as cunning as they were insightful.

However, even as he watched her and Patrick, he suddenly sneered with considerable disdain.

Cordy frowned in turn. No matter what the situation, that look of disdain alway infuriated her, even as he snorted and strode past them.

"What's his deal?" Patrick was a little upset too. "It's like he's above everyone else!"

So it was not just Cordy herself—no one could stand Lucas' conceited reaction.

"He must think being good looking is all there is to it!" Patrick kept rambling on. "What is he getting smug about? There's a lot more good-looking men out there! I used to like men, and I would've looked a little if I still swung that way. But I'm not interested in men now!"

Cordy was speechless—she was watching as Patrick ogled Lucas for a long while, never once blinking even after he headed inside his room!

Still, Patrick seemed to notice Cordy's judgmental look just then and promptly turned away. "Look, I was looking because I just thought he resembles John Levine a little. Don't you agree?"
