Chapter 669
A Life Debt Repaid
Sean was taken aback too.
Why would Cordy like something that only little girls fancied?
But he did not reject their requests. He asked Richard, âDo you want one too?â
âI can give it a try.â Richard nodded.
Richard did not like snacks. To be accurate, he didnât like eating food from outside. But if Mommy liked it, he was willing to give it a go.
âSure.â
Sean walked into the milk tea shop.
Just then, a man walked out.
Sean was stunned for a moment.
Lucas was shocked too.
The moment both men brushed past each other, Lucas saw Cordy and Richard standing along the street.
Cordy and Richard spotted him too.
Richard had thought he would never see Lucas again. The sudden meeting made him lose control of his emotions as he yelled out, âDaddy!â
Lucasâ brows furrowed.
He had told Richard before that he was not his daddy.
But before Lucas could speak, that girl sipping on milk tea walked toward Lucas in all smiles, wrapping her arms naturally around Lucasâ arm. Her eyes were like crescent moons when she smiled, making her look gentle, adorable, and innocent.
Cordyâs heart leaped.
The girl asked, âGot it?â
Lucas looked back at the girl and said, âI did, but no more after this.â
With that, he handed a sweet ice cream to the girl.
âItâs easy to catch a cold eating ice cream during winter, and your health is weak to begin with.â
âYes, yesâ¦â The girl said coquettishly as went on through pursed lips, â People who have no idea might think that youâre my dad.â
Lucas smiled fondly.
Cordy and Richard looked on as both of them behaved intimately with each other, and Cordy remained calm and composed.
Lucas had mentioned many times that he had a girlfriend.
Richard, on the other hand, was staring wide-eyed at them.
His daddy had really moved on and fallen in love with another woman.
Was this why Mommy was unable to believe that Lucas was Daddy?!
Richardâs heart ached, and he reached out and held Mommyâs hand.
Now that Richard was older, he felt embarrassed at times when Mommy held his hand in public, although it was not that he didnât like having Cordy near him.
Cordy did not make things difficult for Richard too.
Now that Richard took the initiative to hold her hand, Cordy knew that Richard had probably misunderstood the situation.
She was all right, really.
Previously, she thought that she might behave aggressively the next time she saw Lucas. After all, they had parted on a bad note previously.
But right now, she felt absolutely calm seeing him and his girlfriend together.
Lucas behaved so gentlemanly and chivalrously in front of his girlfriend.
It was completely different from how he treated her, and it made her unable to find any reason to flare up at him.
Some sort of chemistry had formed between them.
Lucas did not greet Cordy and Richard.
Richard remained silent after yelling out âDaddyâ just now.
Cordy was silent throughout.
She silently looked on as Lucas wrapped his arms around the girlâs waist and left right in front of them.
When they left, something suddenly came to the girlâs mind. âOh yes, to whom did that little boy call Daddy?â
Lucas ignored her question.
The girl did not take it to heart and simply mumbled, âThe little boy looks so handsome, heâll surely be a hunk when he grows up. Come to think of it, he kind of looks like you. Do all good-looking men somehow resemble each other?â
Lucas chuckled and said in all seriousness to her, âOf course, not. Iâm better looking than he is.â
âWhat a braggart you are.â
âIâm speaking the truthâ¦â
The two of them walked farther and farther as their voices faded out in the night.
