A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 672

"It's nothing," Sean assured Dicky. "I'm fine on my own. Just don't go anywhere.”

"Okay."

Sean strode past Lucas as he headed towards Cordy, while Lucas headed towards Dicky.

"You like these?" Lucas asked Dicky.

Dicky turned, and was startled when he saw Lucas.

The next second, he was delighted and quickly asked, "Dad—I mean, Lucas, did you come to see us?"

"No. Sorry to disappoint you." Lucas never allowed anyone to fantasize.

"What are you doing here, then?"

"Just came to visit."

"You like this stuff?"

"More or less," Lucas said begrudgingly.

More or less?

Dicky doubted that—adults wouldn’t just 'visit' a place like this.

But it was fine, since his daddy was such a coward. He should be considerate to his daddy's dignity and not expose him.

"By the way, did you do the parental test?" Lucas asked casually.

It wasn’t as if he cared, but he had the right to know since he was someone involved.

"Oh."

"And?"

"There was an issue with the sample," Dicky explained quickly.

However, Lucas quickly understood. "So, the answer is no?"

"Dicky," Sean called out to Dicky from behind. Dicky hurried over, dumping Lucas right then and showing considerable spite.

Lucas watched as the boy left, feeling a disappointment he could not quite describe.

"Lucas!"

His girlfriend called out to him from behind, and he turned to her as she asked, "Were you speaking with that boy?"

"Yeah. About nothing, really."

"He's going to be very handsome when he grows up," his girlfriend said earnestly.

"Yeah," Lucas replied.

"Oh? Is someone as proud as you admitting that there might be someone who's better looking?"

As the two flirted in the planetarium, Cordy watched their public display of affection.
