Chapter 603

Lucas turned to lay on his side, keeping his back to Cordy.

Cordy followed suit; while she disliked his attitude, his words undoubtedly offered her slight relief.

If anything happened between a man and a woman in the same room, she would be the one who stood to lose. As such, Lucas’s words gave her a mysterious sense of security.

The night was quiet, and Cordy seemed to hear Lucas’s breathing assuming a steady, regular rhythm.

He certainly fell asleep very quickly; when she thought about it, he really did put himself through the grinder tonight.

Thinking about it that way, he wasn’t all that evil-despite his complete reluctance, he ultimately endured it, and somehow ended up as her guardian.

Cordy turned around, since she really wasn’t used to sleeping in that posture.

When she did, she found that Lucas had already turned as well. In his case, he was sound asleep even as he faced her.

It was too dark for her to see his facial features clearly, but that was also the reason why she found him bearing even more resemblance to John.
