Semua Bab A Life Debt Repaid: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Lucas snapped right then, "What the devil has gotten into you?!"Cordy rolled her eyes. "I'm perfectly fine, thanks for asking.""If that's true, why are you asking me to come to your place? Don't tell me you've fallen for me now! Does that mean you climbed into my bed on purpose last night?!"Cordy knew it—asking Lucas for help was just asking for it.However, like Jim said, dignity was inconsequential when it came to her health.As such, she gritted her teeth and went for it. "You don't have to pay me back—just stay with me for one night.""Are you crazy?! Are you trying to jump me?! What do you take me for, a gigolo?!""Who's trying to jump you?!" Cordy felt like she could die. "Also, I'd be the one losing out if I slept with you! I'm even paying you for it!""Really?! And what would you lose?! You already have a child, while I…"Lucas' voice suddenly trailed off for a moment, but he soon snapped, "Anyway, I'm the one losing out here! And I'm telling you, Cordy Sachs—you're

The dining table turned quiet.It was obvious that Cordy had raised Richard well, as the boy observed all dining etiquette.Naturally, Lucas was no slouch himself.Still, he was surprised that the food here suited his palate to such an extent.Was this really a coincidence? Most of the food here was really his favorite! However, it was possible that Cordy went out of her way to find out about his preferences, and she just had to ask Maron to know anything she wanted.After dinner, Lucas did not tarry and returned to his room right away, wrapping his blanket in loops around himself.His scent would linger sufficiently like this, no?!And yet, unbelievably—despite the deed itself being absolutely revolting, he was responding to it.He promptly averted his eyes and whipped out his phone, intent on killing time.That was when he heard a knock on his door, and a little head soon poked inside. "Are you asleep, Lucas?"Lucas stared at the boy in turn. "What is it?""I was worried

Cordy was left infuriated even as Lucas violently dragged her to his room. "Are you crazy, Lucas?!"What was he doing in the middle of the night?!Did he not hate her getting close to him?!"You're the crazy one!" Lucas growled viciously. "You stood me up after I warmed the bed for you! You know, I really should…"Cordy glared at him.What could he do to her, when she knew all too well that he was not interested in her body?!"Should, what?!" Cordy challenged him."I…" Lucas once again trailed off, unable to say anything for a long while."What can you do to me—ah!"Cordy yelped as her whole body was pinned against the wall, his towering form restraining her dainty figure in place and denying her any chance of escape.Under the dim lights, she saw the fury in his eyes as if he could eat her.She was really confused—how did she upset him?!"You're really not afraid of me, are you?" Lucas growled through his teeth, his face contorted with rage.Cordy had the feeling he was j

Lucas was dreaming about something utterly soft and mild. He felt great in every inch of his body as if he had arrived in paradise, delighting his body and so.Naturally, the sudden shriek beside his ear startled him.He opened his groggy eyes and saw Cordy from up close, looking utterly unhappy and… blushing?Lucas, however, did not care that much—being yanked out of his sweet dream left his temper flaring."Is this how you treat your savior, Cordy Sachs?!" he growled angrily. "I would have been careful not to wake you if I woke early myself, but you'd actually treat me so harshly! Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"Cordy was actually prepared, expecting grouchiness from him when he woke her.Biting her lip, she said, "I was worried you'll regret it.""What would I regret? Wait, I am already regretting warming your bed! I mean, insomnia? You're clearly sleeping like a log, even snoring so loudly I can't sleep at all! And the instant I closed my eyes and started to sleep, you had

Cordy was driving home when she realized why Richard was behaving unusually—he obviously wanted to set her up with Lucas.Her son had been convinced that Lucas was John and was therefore single-minded about getting them together.But despite knowing that, she did not want to rain on Richard's parade—Richard was a major reason for her to live right now, after all.Therefore, she had no reason to refuse anything that made her son happy—as long as it did not violate her principles, naturally.When she returned to the mansion, Richard was already having lunch with Lucas.Noticing that she returned just then, Richard quickly called out to her, "Mommy! Lucas said he's hungry, so we started without you.""That's fine." She smiled, putting down her bag and heading to the dining room.Lucas never once looked up, while Richard said with slight disappointment, "He also told me that he's leaving for the capital after lunch.""Yeah, I know, Cordy replied and turned toward Lucas with composu
