A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 692

Lucas urged Dicky, "Now go back inside. It's cold out here."

"What about you?"

"I'm taking a stroll. Cabin fever."

"Yeah…"

"Why don't you join me?" Lucas offered.

Dicky didn’t refuse, and they started to stroll around the back garden.

"You really love Nana, don't you?" Dicky suddenly asked.

Lucas, however, was reluctant to answer. "What does a kid know about love?"

"What don't I know? I was six when I started helping my daddy woo mommy."

"You're amazing," Lucas said.

He almost couldn’t resist patting Dicky's head again, but lowered his hand when he remembered how Dicky refused him last time.

For some reason, he had a real but indescribable affinity for Dicky. Maybe it was an attraction towards the boy just because they shared the same face?

He never felt any desire to have children, and was even willing to be abstinent because of Nana's health issues.

However, his heart seemed to change because of Dicky. Still, Nana's health took priority.

"Do you really love Nana?" Dicky asked stubbornly.

"I do," Lucas replied honestly.

"How could you fall for anyone other than Mommy?" Dicky was a little agitated.

"...I understand that your mommy is successful, but that doesn’t mean everyone in the world will fall in love with her. Precedence applies to everything."

"But you loved Mommy first!"

"It's always been Nana for me."

"What if you realized the one you loved from the start was my mommy? Would you return to her?" Dicky asked.

Lucas watched as Dicky left, looking clearly upset. His own emotions were stirring in him too.

It was a feeling he couldn’t describe, but it had been there for a while now.

While it didn’t actually hurt, there was just this stuffy feeling on his chest.

Wait, could he be having a heart condition too?

Lucas made a mental note to get himself checked as well the next time he accompanied Nana for checkups.

It was just so freaky.

As he returned to the living room, Nana promptly took his hand and locked fingers with him. "That's a long bathroom break."

"Can't bear to separate from me at all, can you?" Lucas teased.

It was normal flirting between loves, and it wasn’t as if Cordy couldn’t stand it.

However, Dicky didn’t return with Lucas. Thus, she decided she should check on her son.
