A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 678

Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.

He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.

Cordy noted her son’s odd behavior. Since she wasn’t watching when Dicky touched Lucas’s head, she didn’t know what exactly he did.

She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed —he never acted like that before.

“Why’d you say that?” Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.

“Aren’t I nice to you?”

“That’s different!” Nana shook her head. “I’m your girlfriend.”

“He’s a kid.”

“You like kids?”
