Chapter 834
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy then said, âAnyway, itâs a little late and Patrick lost his luggage, so ask the servants to get him some fresh clothes. He can buy the rest early tomorrow.â
âDonât worry,â Sean replied. âI donât like him trying to woo you, but I wonât treat him too harshly.â
âThank you.â
âThat said, you really shouldnât stay with him. He used to be⦠â Sean trailed off, as if worried that Cordy would not be able to take it. âAnyway, just keep your distance.â 1 Cordy could see that he had something to say, but she did not ask.
âJust take it easy for now. Join us during dinner later.â
With that, Sean left, unable to help sighing emotionally at how tumultuous Cordyâs love life had been.
Everyone around her seemed to be fine and successful, but none of them turned out to be normal.
Sean returned to his room and picked two sets of clothes before heading straight to Patrickâs room.
Patrick had slight clean freak tendencies.
After a long flight, he went straight to take a shower once he returned to his room⦠only to remember he did not bring any clothes.
He simply wrapped a towel around his waist, whistling as he prepared to call Cordy to bring him some clothes.
He even stood before the tall mirror in front of the bathroom to check his reflection, while flexing his muscles.
Satisfied with his figure, he stepped out, and almost jumped when he saw Sean, who was staring obviously at his body, in his room!
Patrick quickly tried to reach for something-anythingâto cover himself.
But there was nothing.
Fuming, he snapped, âGoddammit, Sean Cranston! Donât you respect boundaries?!â
How could he keep a straight face and stare at his perfect figure with such aplomb?!
Sean sneered in disdain, and Patrick found it absolutely humiliating!
Still, Sean threw the clothes he brought Patrick by the bed. â Cordy asked me to pass these to you.â
With that, he started to leave.
âStop!â Patrick snapped, and Sean paused at the doorway.
âWhatâs that look for? Were you mocking me?â Patrick demanded.
âItâs a perfectly normal look. What, do you take exception?â Sean stared at him coolly. âI thought youâre straight? Whatâs so embarrassing about being stared at by another man?â
âWhat makes you think Iâm embarrassed?!â 1 âMy eyes told me as much,â Sean said evenly.
He was a polar opposite from Patrick, who shook with rage and felt utter disdain from Sean.
Suddenly, Patrick pulled off his towel, while Sean blinked and pursed his lips.
âFeeling embarrassed yet?!â Patrick growled through his teeth.
Sean shot him a look, and said nonchalantly, âChildish.â
âChildish?! How am I childish?! Youâre blind!â Patrick was almost jumping with rage.
âI mean your behavior,â Sean retorted, a little speechless.â Now put some clothes on. Donât even think Cordy will take care of you if you catch a cold.â
And this time, he left without a pause, slamming the door heavily behind him after he was gone.
Patrick was left bristling by Sean.
The man was just so eccentric for a man in his forties who recently married and had a child!
There would not be more than a handful of women who could stand him!
