A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 956

He must have guessed that she was hurt by John and needed someone to lean on.

Perhaps that need was not love.

She was just tired.

He clearly knew all that, yet not only did he not mind, but he even felt thankful for her acceptance.

Cordy lurched into Patrick’s embrace, no longer able to hold her emotions back, and Patrick stood stunned.

He did not know if she was crying for him or for John. The only thing he cared about was that she was in his arms, in a place where he could finally feel her near.

“Patrick, I admit that I don’t love you enough right now, but I swear I’ll do my best to love you,” Cordy said clearly as she made her promise to Patrick.

“That’s enough for me.” Patrick hugged Cordy back.

The sight of the two of them locked in a tight embrace landed in Richard’s line of vision, and Sean was standing right next to him.
