Chapter 243
Even after Cordy said that, silence remained in the car. John acted as if he hadn’t
heard any of Cordy’s words. He kept his eyes firmly on the road, not looking
away.
Cordy shoved down the turbulent emotions swirling angrily inside her. As calmly
as she could, she continued, “I have an important meeting early tomorrow
morning, and it’s already very late right now.’
“I know,” John replied.
Cordy waited a long time after he replied, but John didn’t speak again.
She bit her lip, frustrated.
Enter title…
Since he wasn’t going to say anything else, she leaned back in her seat and
stared out the car window at the night scenery once more.
Soon, they arrived at North Garden’s underground car park.
Cordy unbuckled her seat belt but remained seated. She turned to John and
said, “Go ahead.”
Perhaps John couldn’t multitask while driving and needed to focus on the road.
That was fine, because Cordy had no intentions of being careless with her life.
“It’s too late now. Go back home and get some rest. I’ll see you tomorrow,’ John
said bluntly.
“I don’t think we need to be so vague with words. Why don’t you just come out
and say it and get it over and done with? I don’t have much time to deal with you.
I’m very busy,” Cordy told him flatly.
She didn’t want to continue dwelling on this matter. She had always been rather
straightforward, and had done the same to Kyle back then.
John tightened his grip on the steering wheel, then turned to look at Cordy.
Even though she was acting very submissive tonight, John could feel how distant
she was.
“I didn’t know about my engagement with Jessica. My grandfather suddenly
announced it without my knowledge,” John finally blurted out.
He had been waiting outside her house for a long time. When she hadn’t returned
in the early morning, he had mobilized everyone he had to look for her all over
the city. When he heard she was at the hospital, he didn’t waste a second and
sped to see her.
Seeing her leave the hospital completely fine put him only slightly at ease.
At that point, he didn’t want to disturb her rest and had simply wanted to send her
home and leave.
However, Cordy obviously didn’t have that much patience with him; he
understood that.
Anyone else in her position would also be the same.
He continued, “My grandfather’s been keeping an eye on me recently, and my
phone was confiscated. I couldn’t come to you-”
“I know. Zoe gave me the heads up about that,” Cordy said, interrupting John.
There was no need for so many unnecessary explanations. The only thing they
needed between them was a proper conclusion.
John pursed his lips. He kept his gaze fixed on Cordy as he said, “I’m not going
to marry Jessica. Give me some time.”
“How long?” Cordy asked.
“Six months.”
“What if you still need to get married after six months?’
“That won’t happen.”
“How can you guarantee that?’ Cordy asked with a bitter smile. She continued
coldly, “Your grandfather can snatch away your freedom and block all your
contact with the outside world. How can you convince me that you’ll be able to go
against him in just six months?”
“It was something that happened so suddenly, and I had nothing to prepare
myself for it. Besides, my grandfather promised to return my freedom after
Jessica left. She’ll only be in the city for a week. I didn’t want to make any moves
that would raise his suspicions.”
And so, John chose to simply endure for now.
“I don’t trust you,” Cordy said slowly.
John swallowed harshly, his throat bobbing from the action as if he was trying his
best to hold back the emotions in him.
He had been well prepared before coming, but to be really rejected so bluntly by
the woman before him still left a dull ache in his heart.
“Besides, I don’t want to be involved in a love-hate relationship between your
family and the Stuarts. I don’t have that much patience to deal with both families,”
Cordy went on, her gaze steely and unwavering. She was terrifyingly firm in her
stance. “It was difficult to gain my days of peace. If I had to choose, I wouldn’t
hesitate to leave you.”
