A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1186

John's blind date laughed. "Well, I've never failed thus far."

"By the way, are you really not going to settle down?" her friend asked, her tone turning slightly serious. "It's just been one blind date after another—are you really just going to play around like that?"

"Settle down? I'm only twenty-four! That'd be a waste of my youth. And you know that I won't ever get my parents to shut up unless I attend these blind dates. And what's the harm when I might find some top-quality stud while I do?"

"Older men are not that playful, y'know," her friend warned. "He might want you to take responsibility."

"Don't worry—I'm a veteran," John's blind dates said nonchalantly. "That said, I don't mind hanging around to play a bit more with this one. You have no idea, but he's the best-looking one I've had yet. He'd even give movie stars a run for their money."

"Really?"

"I'll send a photo over later."

"In bed, I hope." Her friend laughed.

"I'll do my best." John's blind date did not reject the idea.

"You better do, sister."

"Don't worry—I change lovers, not besties. You can pick up what's left after I'm done."

"That's a deal."

The two women spoke a lot more after that, and it was not until John's blind date hung up that she noticed Cordy standing beside her.

She did a double take, finding Cordy a little familiar just then.

And it was only natural to take a second look at another woman that was gorgeous—out of an instinctive competitiveness between females and not attraction.

She then remembered that Cordy was sitting at the next table with her son, who appeared around ten.

'What a shame, wasting her youth like that.'

Still, she greeted Cordy. "What a coincidence."

"Yeah," Cordy replied.

"You're married quite young."

"I'm not actually married."

The woman was charmingly sipping on her fruit, and she spat it out right away when she heard Richard.

John and Richard were both left staring at her, and Cordy actually felt second-hand embarrassment even as she looked on.

Still, John's blind date quickly wiped her lips, staring fixedly at John and then at Richard…

And finally, Cordy.

The awkwardness showed obviously on her face as she said nervously, "Y-You're married… but you still came on a blind date?"

"I'm not married. I'm actually single, although I do have a kid," John explained.

"B-But…" John's blind date could not manage another word.

Cordy promptly beckoned at Richard in turn. "Time to go, Dicky."

Richard returned to her side, but before they left, Cordy turned and said, "He's really single—there's nothing between us, so you don't have to feel burdened about us."

And with that, she left with Richard, leaving John and his blind date staring at each other.
