Chapter 1285
A Life Debt Repaid
Night had arrived by the time they were done taking photos, with both couples going out with Richard for dinner.
Cordy, who had been busy taking care of Jesse for over a month, suddenly realized she had been neglecting Richard a little.
It felt like her son had grown up again, and he resembled a teenager now.
âAre you used to the capital, Dicky?â Cordy asked him as she put food on his plate.
âYeah.â Richard nodded.
âYour daddy and I wonât be here eventually. Will you get uncomfortable?â
âNo. Uncle Seanâs been good to me-heâll take good care of me,â Richard said cheerfully, showing no signs of being coerced into this decision. âDonât worryâjust go back to North City with Daddy. Iâll be fine here.â
âYeah.â Cordy nodded, a little emotional just then.
Richard was the greatest surprise she ever had in this world, after all.
âIâll take Dicky back to North City whenever thereâs time too,â Sean said. âThough I hope you two will come over instead.â
âYeah.â
After dinner, the five of them returned to Cranston Hall, where the place was silent since it was very late.
They tried to keep things quiet as they returned to their rooms.
When Cordy and John returned to theirs, John prepared a bath for her. âYou can bathe first.â
âOkay.â Cordy nodded and headed to the bathroom, though she paused at the doorway just as she was about to enter.
John had taken off his suit and was seated on the couch, killing time on his phone.
Still, he looked up when he noticed Cordy poking her head out to stare at him. âWhatâs wrong? Is the water too hot?â
âNo.â Cordy shook her head.
âThenâ¦â
âWant to bathe together?â Cordy asked.
John did a double take, surprised by Cordyâs bold suggestion.
âI mean, itâs late-and it would save time that way,â Cordy quickly added, blushing. âWe still have to check the lodgings for our guests tomorrow, donât we? Well be leaving early tomorrow.â
John smiled. âThereâs no need to go that far to save timetake your time, Iâll just take a break on the couch first.â
Cordy frowned at John, really doubting that he did not catch her hint!
However, it had been a few days since John came to the capital, and they were not doing much even though they shared the same bed.
She knew that the days were tiring, as they woke up early and slept late.
This, on the other hand⦠was ridiculous!
Gritting her teeth, Cordy turned and headed inside the bathroom, slamming the door shut a little forcefully.
John could do whatever he wanted-she was not that eager anyway!
On the other hand, John smiled feebly as he watched her slam the door shut.
He naturally understood Cordyâs hint, just as she had dropped plenty over the last few days.
In fact, he almost fell for her seduction on occasion!
Even so, he was hoping that he could give her the best, so he could afford to wait another couple days.
