A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 668

She clearly remembered it when she left her house, but it slipped her mind with so many other things she had to remember.

Cordy sighed.

'Forget it,' she thought. 'I'll head out later to buy some sleeping pills.'

Cordy did not feel too troubled by it.

After tidying her room, one of the servants came to tell them to head downstairs for some food.

Everyone in the family was seated together.

Yet, it was eerily quiet at the table.

"Dicky, what do you like to eat? I'll get the servants to prepare your favorite food for you," Jesse asked enthusiastically.

He really liked Richard from the bottom of his heart.

Whenever Richard came to visit, he would try to engage in small talk with him.

Richard had a good relationship with Alan and was adept at talking to older folks.

"Thank you, Great-grandfather. I like eating everything on the table. I share similar tastes with my mommy," Richard replied to him immediately.

"She has similar tastes to your grandmother," Jesse said with slight sorrow in his voice.

Everyone knew that he missed Cordy's mom.

Back then when she left the house, she had left for good…

"Great-grandfather, eat more," Richard was quick-witted to realize that something was wrong with the air at the table, and he took the initiative to spoon some food into Jesse's plate.

Jesse smiled, touched by Richard's gesture, "Thank you, Dicky. You should eat more too, you're a growing child."

"I will."

Very soon, the tension in the air relaxed, thanks to Richard.

Everyone else at the table would occasionally sneak a peek at Richard. They were impressed with his maturity in face of difficult situations even at such a young age. Feelings of surprise, admiration and even jealousy mingled in their hearts.

In the Cranston family, children of the same generation as Richard ranged from as young as three years old to older than Richard by one year. Sean was the eldest grandson but married the latest, and his child was just born a month ago. He was considered a late-bloomer in his family.

As long as he was happy, she would be willing to agree to anything.

Sometimes, she felt that one's happiness was the most important thing in life.

Everything else was fleeting.

Cordy and Richard walked through the night market with Sean tagging along throughout the trip.

Richard was mesmerized by many little trinkets he found in the night market and had much fun looking around.

"I want some milk tea," Cordy said as they stopped in front of a milk tea shop.

Cordy saw a girl holding onto a cup of milk tea.

She was wearing a furry jacket and looked sweet and adorable.

Her eyes were filled with satisfaction as she sipped on the cup of milk tea in her hands. It made Cordy, who usually loved black coffee and has no interest in milk tea whatsoever, suddenly find that cup of milk tea in her hands fragrant.

It made Cordy want to try it too.
