Chapter 1008
A Life Debt Repaid
Zoe stared at the ice cream she was holding, and wondered if she should finish it.
That was when she suddenly remembered Jay kissing her, as well as the touch of his lipsâ¦
She immediately threw the ice cream into the trash can.
That devious man!
He was doing everything he could just to stop her from finishing that ice cream!
She quickly ran after Jay and Yelena, joining them as they queued up for the Ferris wheel. She never noticed someone taking photos of her from a distance.
They queued for a long while until it was finally their turn on the Ferris wheel. Yelena really liked it, constantly getting excited whenever the Ferris wheel rose into the air.
It was no exception this time as she beamed cheek to cheek, leaning against the glass window of the Ferris wheel.
âDonât lean on the window, Yelena,â Zoe told Yelena. âIt looks dangerous even from where Iâm sitting.â
Yelena pouted, clearly refusing to listen.
In fact, she wasnât moving an inch.
The brat had been getting full of herself ever since she got a daddy.
Just as Zoe was going to snap at her and show her who was boss, Jay interrupted and said, âDonât worry. Itâs safe.â
She turned and gave him a look. He was immediately cowed; he quickly scooped Yelena up in his arms and put her on his lap. âWe can get a good view from here too, Yelena.â
âBut I can see better there,â Yelena huffed.
âItâs the same. You can look outside and stay close to me. Isnât that good? I wanted to hug you too.â
Yelena considered that for a moment, and agreed to it.
Zoe became obviously annoyed that Yelena only listened to Jay these days, while Jay certainly knew how to handle her.
She raised Yelena for three years, yet Jay defeated her with such ease!
When their pod rose to the highest point, Yelena suddenly asked, âCan we take a photo together, Daddy?ânvëlx.o âOf course.â Jay quickly whipped out his phone and took several selfies with her.
âArenât you going to take one with Mommy?â Yelena then asked.
Jay turned towards Zoe, but she said, âDonât come.â
There was a flash of disappointment in Jayâs eyes, and he actually looked wounded.
Zoe thought to herself that she mustâve imagined it, but she explained nonetheless, âThe pod would shake if everyone sits on one side. Youâd scare me.â
âOkay,â Jay replied evenly, nodding.
Somehow, Zoe felt that he was a little happy about that.
In fact, she had been wondering if she was possessed as she started to take more notice of Jayâs emotions.
Their pod finally came to a stop after half an hour.
Zoe alighted with Yelena first, before helping Jay out with some assistant from the staff.
There was a stairs leading up to the pod, so it took Jay considerable effort to go up as well.
That was the case when they got out as well. Zoe had to match his slow pace while carrying Yelena.
It took a while for Jay to finally reach his wheelchair, and Zoe could see that his brow was covered in sweat and his breathing was rushed.
She couldnât help asking, âIs there no chance for your leg to recover, Jay?â
Jay paused instantly, just as Zoe came to a realization right then.
She seemed to have hurt his pride once again.
