A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 88
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy felt this emotion inside that she could not quite describe but she ignored it.
Soon, they arrived at Chateau Emporio, but before she could speak, John told her, âDickyâs waiting for you inside.â
And with that, she stopped herself from saying what she would have, just as Winston arrived, greeting them respectfully, âWelcome home, Master John-and welcome, Ms. Levine.â
So aside from Richard, Winston was here too?!
Did that mean John sent Winston away the last time she came over?
âMommy!â
A little figure dashed out of the chateau and threw himself into Cordyâs arms right then. âMommy, I missed you so much⦠but Daddy wouldnât let me see you at the hospital!â
It was obviously a complaint.
Still, Cordy patiently dropped to a crouch before Richard, explaining, âHe was hurt, so he had to stay at the hospital. He wouldâve had to take care of you if you went, and he wouldnât have recovered so quickly.â
âThatâs a lie,â Richard said sharply just then. âDaddyâs just worried that Iâd have Mommy all to myself.
He doesnât know how to share.â
Cordy could not help smiling then-the term âsharingâ might have been misplaced there.
Winston was smiling too, though he was on Johnâs side on this one since a man simply did not share his wife.
âDicky,â John growled, glowering just then.
Naturally fearing his father, Richard quickly stopped complaining at his threat and instead tamely took out a pair of pink slippers and placed them on the floor. âWhy donât you try them, mommy? Daddy and I spent a lot of time picking these from the mall.â
Cordy felt her heart softening just then.
She would not be visiting here that often, but they went out of their way to prepare those slippers for their anyway.
She felt worse remembering that John had to buy his own slippers the last time he visited her home.
Still, she put on the slippers, finding them soft and comfortable and the size perfect. âItâs so pretty.
âI knew youâd like them, Mommy. Now hurry-Iâll take you on a tour around our place. Itâs so big and beautiful,â Richard said enthusiastically.
Cordy wondered just then if his little heart could take it if she told him that she had been here before.
âMs. Sachs, itâs on the news that you just signed on Zoe York as your brand ambassador.â
âOh, right,â Cordy nodded, though she seemed to be glancing at John as she spoke.
He appeared perfectly calm, and when he turned toward her after noticing her look, she had already turned away.
âYou have a good eye, Ms. Sachs. Zoe is as beautiful as she is fashionable. Thereâs no better candidate for a brand ambassador,â Randy quickly added.
Since he was at once praising Cordyâs insight and Zoeâs good looks, he certainly was killing two birds with one stone-complimenting the two most important women in Johnâs life!
He almost wanted to pat himself on the back!
âDonât you agree, boss?â he asked just then, seizing the moment to fawn over John.
John glanced at Randy before commenting, âZoe York does have good genes.â
Randy stared at his boss through the rearview mirror for a while, utterly speechless.
The man should be acknowledging Cordyâs business acumen before flattering her by saying that she was more beautiful than Zoe, let alone brag about his familyâs genes!
Randy finally understood why John was having no progress with the missus after so long-in fact, it would be weird if he managed to woo her!
Meanwhile, Cordy frowned at Johnâs words. So⦠he had already met Zoeâs parents?
