A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 981

Cordy returned to the banquet hall, where Patrick was growing restless from waiting for her.

She smiled despite herself-he really was a little impatient, since she was barely away for ten minutes.

’I would’ve gone looking for you if you didn’t come back,” Patrick said a little grumpily as he took her hand.

“What, did you think I’d lose my way?” she retorted in slight annoyance as they returned to their seats.

Patrick, however, said seriously, “You won’t lose your way, but you’re so beautiful everyone would want to kidnap you. It’s not easy for me to get myself a wife. Who would I cry to if she was abducted?”

Cordy was a little speechless-his danger sense was a little too keen.

However, before he could continue, everyone turned towards the stage as the wedding’s emcee started speaking. “Esteemed guests, thank you for taking time off your busy schedules to attend this blessed wedding ceremony of Mr. Lucas Lynch and Miss Nana Lynd. The ceremony shall begin at 12:08 pm. Once again, thank you for coming.”

When the emcee was finished, Patrick whispered into Cordy’s ear, “That’s another ten minutes.”
