A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 279

After Cordy left work, she headed straight to John’s apartment.

It was only after she arrived and saw the food placed on the table that she remembered that she hadn’t eaten.

In fact, she had forgotten that it was now dinnertime.

Winston invited her to join them eagerly, while Dicky was also hugging her leg and saying, "Mommy! I missed you so much! Let's eat together— Winston made us a lot of good food."

Unable to resist Dicky's enthusiasm, and because she afforded Kyle an opening to attack her because she wasn’t eating well that one time, Cordy wouldn’t allow herself to repeat the same amateur mistake.

Even if Kyle was dead, John lives—and he was far more dangerous than Kyle.

As she sat at the dining table, John never once spoke to her and maintained his noble aloofness.

Cordy finally looked at the food on the table to see that almost every dish was her favorite.She then remembered that Dicky's tastes were just like hers; therefore this wasn’t the least bit surprising.

Picking up her knife and fork, she started eating.

As they ate, Dicky's chipper voice made it obvious how happy he was to have Cordy there.

He kept putting food on her plate, asking repeatedly if the food was good.

When she looked like she was about to put down her knife and fork, he told her seriously that she should take care of her body so that she could give her a sister.
