    Chapter 1197


    Stunned, their eyes met for seconds before Cordy quickly pushed John away and turned her back on


    him.


    They had been so close she spaced out for a moment, but she still felt John''s hot breath bing


    rushed.She could also feel her own heart racing wildly, while her cheeks burned.She took a deep


    breath to calm herself, deciding that she had been a little careless just then.


    "That was great, Mommy! Do your best!" Richard quickly eximed just then, cheering her on as he


    noticed the awkwardness between his parents.

    Cordy slowly calmed down as well and seriously learned baking from John while quietly keeping his


    distance.


    Naturally, he did not step out of line either—in fact, he was paying considerable attention not to get too


    close since he felt her aversion.


    Soon, they finished making cookies, which were a little charred but tasted good.


    Cordy felt a strong sense of aplishment, especially with Richard munching while ttering her.


    "Wow, your cookies are wonderful, Mommy!"


    "You''re amazing, Mommy! This is so delicious!"


    "Wendy, you should try my mommy''s cookies too.It''s her first time, but it''s really good!"


    Wendy had some too, and she did not hold back from praising Cordy as well.


    "It''s really good—it''s is much better than what I made.You have a gift, Cordy."


    Cordy was actually embarrassed from all the unrestrained praise.It was fineing from Richard since


    he was her son, but it was definitely awkwarding from Wendy.


    Did Wendy not mind that Cordy used to be with John? After she was done with the cookies, Cordy got


    a call and excused herself.


    It was actually nothing important, but she really could not stay immune to the atmosphere in the room


    and theplicated web of rtionships between everyone in said room.She returned to her study


    and kept working—she had no idea how long Richard would film his vlog, but she figured that they


    would not be staying for dinner.She dilly-dallied until it was past six before finally stepping out of her


    study.


    There was no one around by then, and she wondered if everyone had already left.She could not quite


    describe how she felt just then, but she was definitely a little upset that everyone left without telling her.


    And most of all, did Richard leave with them, thus leaving her alone? She took a deep breath, telling


    herself once again not to get petty.


    However, just as she arrived downstairs, she suddenly overheard someone speaking over the


    phone.Her voice was soft, and it seemed to be Wendy...so they were still around? Although Cordy did


    not have the habit of eavesdropping, she suddenly heard Wendy exim excitedly, "A six-foot tall b


    of muscles?!"


    Cordy pursed her lips but stopped in her tracks.


    "Well, I can''t make it.I''m not done over here," Wendy whispered.


    "I mean, you girls could send me more photos...Yeah, I''d really like to be there!"
