A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1185

"Thank you," John told Cordy politely.

However, Cordy said nothing and left with Richard.

On the way home, however, Richard suddenly asked, "Mommy, don't you think Daddy looked good?"

Cordy's fingers clenched over the steering wheel, but she said nonchalantly, "I wasn't paying attention."

"Really?" Richard murmured before adding, "He's going on a blind date today."

Cordy blinked and glanced at the boy.

"Are you upset, Mommy?" Richard quickly asked, sensing Cordy's stare right then.

"No. Just a little surprised," Cordy said nonchalantly.

"Well, Grandaunt Nancy arranged the meeting for him," Richard said. "He didn't want to go, but she insisted."

"He wouldn't dress up for the occasion if he was really reluctant." Cordy scoffed.

"I thought you weren't paying attention, Mommy?" Richard smiled in amusement.

Cordy pursed her lips—she could not afford letting her guard down around Richard these days now that he was all grown up.

"Grandaunt Nancy prepared the suit and everything," Richard added.

"Let's not talk about your daddy, okay? What would you like for dinner? I'll treat you to something good," Cordy said, changing the topic right then.

After all, whatever John wanted to do was his business and had nothing to do with her.

"I was just craving the steak at Perkins House."

"Alright." Cordy agreed to it without hesitation and took Richard straight there.

Cordy entered the washroom.

When she stepped out from one of the cubicles, she found John's blind date talking into the phone excitedly. "I really hit the jackpot today—he's rich and handsome, although he's just a little older…"

"That's good. Older men will pamper you more," her friend teased. "And they are especially good, if you know what I mean…"

They both laughed then, the meaning all too obvious.

"Yeah, but I don't think he's that easy," John's blind date said, frowning then. "He's nice and gentlemanly, but he's also quite distant. I mean, among all the men I've met over the years, he must be the first who's so uninterested in me."

"And I suppose you suddenly find that… challenging?" Her friend giggled.

"Of course," John's blind date exclaimed excitedly. "I intend to seal the deal tonight."

"You can do it, girl."
