So when the Levines all traveled abroad, John left Dicky in Jessica’s care? Without asking Cordy's permission, or whether Dicky wanted to stay with Jessica?Still, Cordy clenched her teeth and accepted reality. She was reluctant to bother John given present circumstances. His texts over the next few days were scarce since there was nothing to say, what with Jay not recovering anytime soon.However, Jessica was still constantly sharing updates of her time with Dicky even though it was definitely a mess, be it eating or bathing Dicky, leaving his little face covered in bubbles.She also brought Dicky outdoors to hiking and amusement parks, where they would play with all sorts of exciting rides.Cordy stayed silent, watching as Jessica expressed her motherly nature.That was, until she sent a photo of Dicky hurting his leg.In the photo, the boy was keeping his head lowered and staring at his leg, covered in white bandages, his expression impassive.Jessica's caption was: [I'm so

Cordy had to admit, she had fallen straight into Jessica’s trap.Despite that, she wouldn’t dismiss the fact that Jessica was definitely using Dicky to threaten her.Turning around in bed towards Dicky, Cordy watched his little face, sound asleep amidst the dim light.It was a habit she had every time she was sleeping with Dicky—turning on a soft light so that she could see him in the darkness and tuck him in.Only a real mother would feel that indescribable bliss when you see a child sleeping peacefully beside her. Cordy couldn’t help caressing his little cheeks once more. She vowed to herself that she would protect her boy, no matter the cost!-Cordy had gotten used to waking past ten o’clock these days, and that was the case the next morning. Dicky was still asleep since he may have slept too late last night, though he was adorable as ever.Cordy didn’t wake him and carefully got out of bed, limping on her crutch to the washroom to wash up before leaving her bedroom and

Cordy looked up to see that John was panting a little, and that he was flushing somewhat.Pursing her lips, she lowered her gaze and washed her hands, pretending as if she saw nothing while John left.However, she was quite distracted as she washed her fingers, as many images crossed her mind…Still, she soon turned off the tap, dried her hands, and left the washroom. John wasn’t in, and she vaguely saw a silhouette in the walk-in closet. Cordy headed over, entering it unhurriedly to find John changing.He was wearing yet another pair of black boxers, almost the same size as the one he just threw away.He spotted Cordy from the full-length mirror in front of him, a brief look of surprise flashing in his eyes before he soon said, "I'll come out once I'm done changing." "Can you get dressed without problems?" Cordy asked."Yeah.""Won't you be touching your scars?""I'll watch out… Eh?" John suddenly murmured, and gulped unwittingly as he felt Cordy's warm, dainty hands on

It was a slight motion, but Cordy woke the man beside her.To be precise, John was already up and was waiting for her to wake up."Hungry?" John asked her, his attractive voice clearly happy.Right now, he was feeling very energetic and refreshed.On the other hand, Cordy’s whole body felt limp and she thought she could die at that very moment."What time is it?" Cordy asked."Ten o’clock," John replied."That late?" she gasped."What do you think?" John chuckled, his glee barely hidden from his voice."Where's Dicky?""He said he's old enough to go to bed on his own, and he just did, like the good boy he is," John replied, before adding, "He also maintains that he'd be an exemplary brother."Cordy shot him a look, before struggling to get up.As John moved to help her up, the blanket slipped off, revealing all the hickeys and signs of fearsome lovemaking.Cordy turned towards him again, who asked a little awkwardly, "Getting out of bed?""Yeah." "I'll get your clothes.

Although she didn’t have much of an appetite now, Cordy ultimately finished her steak.She was a mother and had an obligation to take care of herself, so that she could take care of Dicky.When she was done, she returned to her bedroom, where she found him deep asleep.Watching as he slept, looking ever so innocent, she decided she would not regret her choice.-Early next morning, Cordy said her goodbyes with Dicky for the time being.Dicky was still under John’s custody before John married Jessica, and Cordy wasn’t cruel enough to insist upon taking Dicky away right now.Moreover, she was convinced that it was safer for Dicky to stay with John."The car’s waiting outside," John told her."Okay," Cordy said, and patted Dicky's little cheeks while assuring him, "You’ll see me again in North City, when school starts again in a few days.""Okay!" Dicky nodded obediently.He was under the impression that his daddy and mommy would be together after yesterday.He had always been
