Chapter 1240
A Life Debt Repaid
When Cordy said yes to his proposal, John noticed her glancing behind himself at Richard.
But whatever the case maybe, he was rejoicing that she would say yes and would never ask for more.
In fact, he was a little flustered, unsure as to what he should do to not annoy Cordy.
On the other hand, Cordy noticed the tiny beads of sweat over Johnâs forehead.
However, the dayâs climate was just right, and there was even a breeze- but he was sweating anyway.
Was it perhaps from nerves?
She also noticed that John was reaching for her hand.
She was ready to take it, but John ended up lowering his hands, his entire figure looking very stiff.
Was that nerves too?
Was he more nervous than she was?
Cordy pursed her lips and suddenly reached out to take Johnâs hand.
Johnâs whole body flinched visibly.
Below the stage, Zoe giggled âthe dauntless John Levine was bristling from Cordyâs touch!
Truly, everything has a weakness, and John was destined to be at Cordyâs mercy.
That thought alone left Zoe feeling cathartic, especially since John had been so conceited when they were children, as if no one would ever size upto him.
And he deserved to fall completely to Cordy.
As Cordy took Johnâs hand, she could feel her palm drenched in sweat, spreading a layer of wetness between their hands.
The emcee could not help teasing, âIt seems that the bride is more eager than the groom! Alright, now letâs have our beautiful bride and our handsome groom take a step forward.â
Everyone laughed at his joke while Cordy was left blushing.
John held on to her hand even tighter then, while the priest moved to stand between them to officiate the ceremony.
âJohn Levine, do you take Cordy Sachs as your beloved wife? To love her and cherish her, in sickness and in health-â
âI do!â John quickly answered.
The emcee could not help chuckling. âOur groom really is impatient.â
Everyone laughed again, while John pursed his lips.
He might usually be calm as a cucumber, but he could not help exposing himself today anyway.
âI will always be with Cordy, and not even death could take me away from her,â John said resolutely then.
âCordy Sachs, do you-â
âI do,â Cordy answered before he could finish too.
The priest could not help joking, âWell now I just feel silly standing here.â Cordy blushed, the pigment on her cheeks making her appear even more attractive just then.
With that, even the emcee seemed to speak quicker. âAlright. Letâs move on to the exchange of the rings so that no one gets impatient. Over here, Yelena. Come onârun up and bring their rings.â
Yelena promptly leaped out of Claraâs arms, took the ring box from the staff, and ran onstage as fast as she could on her little feet.
Cordyâs heart could melt from the mere sight of such adorableness.
âJohnny.â Yelena greeted John just then.
John had dropped to a crouch to take the rings and was left a little dumbstruck by Yelena calling him Johnny.
Sure, Jay was his uncle, but did Yelena really have to assert herself so much?!
âI wish you and Cordy will be happy forever together and give me another brother like Dicky,â Yelena continued seriously.
Their family tree seemed to be a real mess just then
