A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 678

Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.

He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.

Cordy noted her son's odd behavior. Since she wasn't watching when Dicky touched Lucas's head, she didn’t know what exactly he did.

She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed—he never acted like that before.

Still, they were fortunate that they weren’t seated at the main table, where the elders were. Rules weren’t that strictly enforced on the other tables.

On the other hand, Nana watched as Dicky left. She turned to ask Lucas softly, "You really like Dicky, don't you?"

"Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.

He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing.

"Well, you're really nice to him," Nana said.

"Aren't I nice to you?"

"That's different!" Nana shook her head. "I'm your girlfriend."

"He's a kid."

"You like kids?"

"They're alright."

"I can give you one if you do…"

"Be good, and eat your greens. Get pregnant when you've recovered."

"You're unbelievable," Nana flushed right then.

Cordy listened as they flirted, wanting really badly to tell them to keep it down—that she could hear them.

But naturally, she wasn’t about to meddle that much.

Jean was not in a hurry to leave after dinner.

"Do you want it?" Cordy asked.

"Can I?"

"Of course. There's plenty to go around—I'll just get another," Cordy said.

"Thanks, Cordy!" Nana didn’t shy away at all.

She gave this impression that she was sweet and charming, yet it didn’t leave people repulsed.

Such was probably the difference between a natural and pretentious person.

Cordy gave Nana the cake, and Nana took a bite; her eyes gleamed in satisfaction, as if she never had any in her life prior to this.

But given the Lynds' background, they definitely could afford expensive cakes, even if they weren’t as powerful as the Cranstons.

Perhaps it was simply Cordy's preferences for gourmet food.

Anyway, Cordy thought nothing of it.
