A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 518

It was an earnest blessing and the satisfaction of getting a cathartic outcome.

Cordy heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

It turned out that she was not actually as indifferent toward John as she had thought—she was already deeply in love with him, and she was just trying to avoid confronting her feelings.

But now, she would not push him away again, ever.

"The trial is here concluded!"

With that, the judges left before everyone else filed out of the courtroom.

Cordy and the others stepped out from another exit.

There were many journalists outside, but they were kept outside the courthouse and unable to enter.

Cordy waited at an entrance, but soon enough wondered why John was not coming out.

Reasonably speaking, he should be out already…

Right now, even a second was grilling.

As she kept peeking into the courtroom, Sam could not help teasing her, "You're really craning your neck there."

Cordy felt slightly embarrassed but did not look away.

She wanted to see him sooner.

More people stepped out after a while, and Cordy tensed up.

She was despondent when she saw that it was Sean who strode past Cordy and the others.

He seemed to slide a peek at Cordy as he left, but no one seemed to notice it.

"Okay," John replied.

"John." Cora greeted him tentatively then. "Grandfather is already abroad, so it's only me and my mom in the mansion. She misses you and she's worried, so bring Cordy along to visit when you're free. She couldn't make it today because she has to oversee the sales of some of Levine Ventures' assets."

"Yeah." John nodded, clearly distant toward Cora too.

Even if he seemed neutral toward Zoe, Cordy actually had the feeling that he cared about her.

Cora, on the other hand, seemed inconsequential to him.

Naturally, Cora did not linger and left with Bob.

Quinn gave a simple nod in farewell before leaving, and Toby naturally was sharp enough to excuse himself as well.

With that, John and Cordy were left alone.
