Chapter 1119
A Life Debt Repaid
Patrick could understand the reasoning but hearing it from Sean upset him anyway.
He did save Seanâs life, so did Sean have to treat him like this?
Was he saying that saving Seanâs life was less than Johnâs achievement in destroying the Lynds?
Patrick got further upset the more he thought about it, but he never said it out loud.
Sean, however, seemed to notice that Patrick was moody anyway, and he softened his tone. âI admire John as a great man. I would have liked him to work for me ever since he took down your cousins, though thatâs impossible now after all thatâs happened.â
Patrick remained silent.
Yes, John was extraordinary, but was it not a little too cold to tell a rival that in the face?!
Fortunately, the servants arrived with lunch and left it on the table of the veranda.
âHow about eating out here? The air is good,â Sean asked Patrick.
âYou already asked your servant to bring it out, and youâre asking me now? Pointless, isnât it?â
Sean smiled, but he did not deny it.
Both men sat at the table and started eating.
The breeze that gently brushed against their faces was more than a little relaxing.
However, Patrick suddenly yelped halfway through. âOh!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Sean asked worriedly.
âWhat about Cordy and Dicky?1â² Patrick asked, feeling very guilty just then.
Sean was speechlessâand here he thought he was choking!
Still, he said, âCordy has work to do, but sheâll come downstairs to eat once sheâs done, and I had the servants save her something. As for Dicky, heâs having lunch with John at the hospital.â
âOh.â Patrick nodded, realizing that he had made a fuss over nothing.
Still, he soon remembered something else. âSo, Sean.â
âYeah.â
âI was wondering if I should formally propose to Cordy.â
Patrick was scowling harder the more he listened. He asked miserably, âSo, how many days is that?â
âOne week, more or less.â âThat means I wonât see you for one week?â âWe can keep in touch through video calls.â
