Chapter 526
Cordy gave in to John.
She was willing to believe in love again for his sake.
John in turn gazed upon her in his arms, feeling her body's warmth and the strength with which she
tightened her arms around his waist further with each second.
There was a smile on his lips.
Even if the price he paid was a little too costly, this made it worth it.
Nothing else mattered other than her.
He in turn gathered her tightly in his arms. Feeling her in his arms with such certainty left his heart
racing uncontrollably too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey simply embarrassed each other like that, with neither letting go because they were not going to.
There was no telling how long had passed when John had to stifle a cough, and Cordy finally realized
with a start.
She most certainly had been greedy about feeling him there with her, worried that he would vanish if
she let him go again.
Even if she was rejoicing, she was still caught with lingering fear from almost losing him in this trial.
Nonetheless, she reluctantly pulled herself out from his arms, knowing that he should head home right
now to recover—he probably was struggling to stay on his feet at the moment.
But as she pulled away from him and looked up into his eyes again, she blushed again.
Around John, she definitely had not been this... enthusiastic.
As such, her abrupt and impulsive action just now left her a little embarrassed.
"Aren't you leaving?" she urged him-they would be staying the night here if they remained any longer.
Moreover, the journalists would probably have presumed that John had given them the slip after not
showing up for so long.
"Alright, let's go," John said, reaching out to hold her hand.
Cordy's fingers twitched, obviously a little reluctant.
"What?’’ John asked, frowning.
"The journalists might still be waiting," Cordy reminded him.
"I put my life on the line for you, but you still can't be serious about me?" John asked grumpily.
She pouted anyway-she was just uncomfortable and did not expect to go public about their relationship
so quickly.
After all, she still considered things between them to be opaque.

left my half-crippled with that bear hug. And you're dumping me just like that?" John demanded, huffing
every word while looking dead serious.
Cordy was left speechless by his ability to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Moreover, he was the one who wanted his own engagement annulled.
As for his wealth, even after all his assets were all sold off, he would still be filthy rich, with enough
money to last him several lifetimes even if he freeloads.
And as for his health... he just had to take his time to recover, and he would once again be that drop-
dead gorgeous hunk from before!
How did he manage to sell himself short right then?!
