A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 401

After John and Jessica left the crowd of reports and entered the hall, Jessica asked

him, “You’re not angry, are you? That I didn’t tell the journalists that Dicky wasn’t my

the only way.

Thus, right now, she could bear with anything he threw her way.

want people talking badly about Dicky, especially since his mother was never

revealed. I’m worried there’d be a psychological effect. I’ve already considered him my

own son, even when he was a baby.”
