A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 678

Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.

He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.

Cordy noted her son's odd behavior. Since she wasn't watching when Dicky touched Lucas's head, she didn't know what exactly he did.

She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed —he never acted like that before.

Still, they were fortunate that they weren't seated at the main table, where the elders were. Rules weren't that strictly enforced on the other tables.

On the other hand, Nana watched as Dicky left. She turned to ask Lucas softly, "You really like Dicky, don't you?"

"Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.

He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing.

"Well, you're really nice to him," Nana said.

"Aren't I nice to you?"
