    Chapter 1199


    John rose to his feet nheless.


    "I''ll walk you to the front gates, at least." He really was meticulous when it came to Wendy.


    "Okay," she smiled sweetly in turn, before turning to Cordy and Richard, "I''m sorry.I have to leave since


    my friend''s in trouble.Enjoy your meal." Cordy said nothing, while Richard nodded cheerfully.


    "Okay, Wendy.Come again next time."


    "Of course I will."


    "See you."


    Wendy gave him a pat on the head before leaving.When she was gone, Richard could not help sighing.


    "Wendy''s so nice."


    Cordy felt a little miffed at that but thought to herself that she really was not jealous this time.She was


    just conflicted—should she expose Wendy here? It took John a while to return after walking Wendy to


    the gates, and Cordy presumed that they must have gotten a little frisky.


    They were still in the honeymoon period and were perhaps reluctant to be apart even for a second.


    Cordy looked at John, who felt her gaze and asked, "Do you have something to say?" She quickly


    averted her eyes and shook her head.


    "Nope."


    She did not know where to begin and whether she would be ruining a rtionship if she spoke up.


    "If you don''t like me around, I''ll leave right after I clean up," John said just then.


    Cordy was left stunned for a moment before realizing that John thought she still disliked having him


    around.


    But the truth was that she did not feel averse to him, and they were gathered here for Richard''s sake


    as well, so she quickly said, "I don''t mean anything like that.We''re doing this for Dicky, so you don''t


    have to worry about it."


    "Yeah," John replied, and he seemed to smile faintly just then.


    They kept eating, and the grill sessionsted a while just like any would.


    Naturally, it only tasted better with alcohol.


    "Things are going strong with Wendy, I see," Cordy mentioned offhandedly just then, like normal friends


    conversing about one of their love lives.


    "It''s alright, I guess." John nodded.


    "She''s young and can get immature asionally, but she’s lively and adorable, even naive."


    Naive.


    Cordy seemed to use the word in her head just then, wondering how John would react if he knew


    Wendy''s true nature.


    The dilemma was killing her too—should she tell him or not?! Would he think that she was trying to


    cause a rift between him and Wendy? "She hasn''t been a bother today, has she?" John asked just


    then.


    "That''s just how she is—she''s instant besties with everyone she meets."


    "No." Cordy shook her head.


    "She''s nice.It''s just..."


    "Just...?" John raised a brow.


    "It''s nothing."


    Cordy ultimately stopped herself from saying it.


    John did not press her either.


    In fact, it was Cordy who spoke to him throughout dinner, while John mostly spoke with Richard and


    basically did not talk to her.It was nine when they were finished eating, and Cordy cleaned up since


    John was the one who cooked.He and Richard headed to the living room, and by the time Cordy was


    done cleaning up, she turned to find John asleep on the couch, his cheeks flushed.


    She remembered that he had been drinking alone, and he had drunk a lot.She walked over to him...Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
