Chapter 844
A Life Debt Repaid
Sean opened his eyes in a daze.
He looked at Richard, who was sleeping beside him. âLet me carry him home. Donât wake him up. Help me wake Patrick up.â
âOkay.â
Cordy tried to wake Patrick up.
Patrick moved slightly, but he did not want to wake up.
âGo back to your room and sleep,â Cordy reminded him.â Weâve arrived at Cranston Villa.â
Patrick struggled slightly before he woke up.
When he glanced at the time, he found that it was now past midnight. It was no wonder he was so sleepy.
He yawned and got out of the car with Cordy.
âWhereâs Sean?â Patrick was confused.
âHe carried Richard back to the room.â
âD*mn! I missed another chance to perform well.â Patrick became displeased.
Consequently, Cordy was rendered speechless. She wondered if Patrick became dumb after getting into a romantic relationship.
They walked into Cranston Villa, where Patrick insisted on seeing Cordy off to her room.
Cordy did not want to waste time in the middle of the night, so she acquiesced.
âCordy.â Patrick suddenly stopped her when Cordyâs eyes moved slightly.
âI like you.â
Consequently, Cordy was at a loss for words He suddenly seriously confessed his love for her.
He did say that kind of thing in the past, so he never brought it up again later on.
However, he behaved that way out of the blue at that instant.
âI donât know why but I have a feeling that you seem to be getting more distant from me.â Helplessness engulfed Patrick.
He was afraid of losing her because of that feeling.
âPatrick, you know that Iâ¦â
âI know.â Patrick nodded, but in the next donât you feel something for me?â
Cordy pursed her lips.
She had never let go of her heart.
Hence, she would not have such feelings.
When Patrick saw Cordyâs look, he at last felt slightly desolate.
He then smiled.
His smile was filled with a tinge of bitterness.
âIâm sorry, Patrick.â Cordy apologized to him. âAfter so many hold you backâ¦â
âCordy, youâre the only woman whom I want to build a family with and spend the rest of my life with. As for the other women, Iâm not interested at all,â Patrick explained straightforwardly.
Cordy was aware of that because he once told her that, butâ¦
âIs there a possibility that you never have any contact with the other women so you donât knowâ¦â
âOther than you, I resist having any contact with any other women.â Patrick interrupted her.
Cordy did not know what kind of response she could give.
âForget it.â Patrick suddenly gave up.
Cordy looked at him.
âSometimes, a love affair isnât about two people but one.â Patrick cracked a faint smile. âCordy, Iâll leave and give you my blessing if you find a better man to be with, but you donât. So, Iâm willing to wait for you my whole life.â
âThatâs unnecessaryâ¦â
âItâs not for your sake, but Iâm just unwilling to put up with the second best.â After that, he turned around to leave.
When he turned around, he saw Sean, who was standing not far away.
Sean pursed his lips slightly.
He did not intend to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he had to walk past that place, and their voices were not very soft.
Looking at Sean, Patrickâs expression became worse.
He could imagine how Sean would mock him for his failure to win Cordyâs heart.
Sean always tried to stop him from pursuing Cordy.
Of course, Sean would feel very happy now that he learned about Cordyâs attitude toward Patrick.
Well, Patrick would let Sean laugh at him if he wanted to. After all, he was indeed quite ridiculous.
