Chapter 1255
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy actually felt guilty.
She and John were sleeping in the same bed on their wedding night but were doing nothing at all.
She had no intention of shirking her spousal obligation since she decided to marry John.
To her, marriage was no childâs play, and it should be treated solemnly.
Even so, what happened tonight was definitely unexpected, and Cordy felt even more guilty when she saw the box of condoms in the bedside drawer.
John had really prepared for everything.
In fact, that was not al Iâhe even prepared underwear and sanitary pads for her, so there was nothing to worry about despite the surprise.
John probably just did not expect that she would need the pads tonight.
In fact, Cordy had trouble sleeping the whole night, tossing and turning in bed, probably because she was not used to sleeping in a new place.
As for the man beside her, he did not sleep at all.
They were still asleep late into the morning because of that until Johnâs phone rang.
He picked it up. âAunt Nancyâ¦â
âWhy arenât you here?!â Nancy snapped from the other end.
John checked the time to see that it was past ten.
Still, he was not in a hurry at all as he quietly replied, âBe back soon.â
âThe sooner the better. Donât keep us waiting.â
âOkay,â John said and hung up, having every intention to sleep in until he turned to see Cordy.
She was clearly woken up by the call. âYour aunt?â
âDonât worry. You can sleep a little longerâ¦â
âNo, letâs go already. Iâd rather not get her stink-eye at Levine Manor,â Cordy said, pushing herself out of bed with considerable difficulty.
She was certainly aware of Nancyâs bad temper, and everything would be fine if it went her way.
If it did not, the look on her face alone would be horrific.
âDonât worry, sheâs not going to get upset with you,â John said, clearly feeling Cordyâs exhaustion.
âSheâs so worried Iâd be celibate that she would never dare upset you.â
Cordy did a double take, though she soon understood what he meant.
Was he saying that he would never marry any other woman beside her?
She felt a faint warmth on her chest just then-she had no idea if she really accepted that she and John were married, but she definitely accepted her relationship with John now.
As such, she quietly lay down.
But just as she was going to sleep, her phone rang with a call from Zoe.
She picked it up. âZoe?â
âAre you still sleeping with Johnny?!â Zoe asked a little too loudly.
âUhâ¦â
How was she supposed to answer that?!
âAnyway, Iâm at Levine Manor already, and Ms. Levine here is saying that you and John arenât even up yet?â
Cordy stayed silent, unable to answer.
Zoe laughed mischievously at her silence. âSo, itâs been a long night, huh? Leaving early but still unable to even get up ⦠Was a box of condoms even enough? Wait, no. You need to get Dicky a sibling, so donât use protection⦠Hold on, John would definitely insist on protection, right? I mean, he didnât see any action for years, so heâd definitely want to enjoy himself for a while first, or heâd suffer a stroke if itâs bulls-eye! So? How was it? Was one box enough?â
Cordy was left speechless as she rambled on. âNo, last night we-â
Before she could finish, however, Zoe quickly said, âHold on, Ms. Levine is calling us again. Get here soon-letâs discuss this face to face.â
