Chapter 1056
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy sent Richard back.
Richard saw Cordy leave in the car with a heavy heart, not really knowing how to articulate the feelings inside him.
He could sense that things were going well between his mommy and Patrick.
Mommy treated Patrick very well and vice versa. In fact, Patrick treated him very well.
Everything seemed like it was falling into place.
Richard sighed.
He should not have held out any hope.
It was Daddy who gave up on Mommy, and he should not find it a pity on Daddyâs behalf.
In the car, Cordy gave Zoe a call.
âCordy, did you leave the hospital so soon?â Of course, Zoe knew that Cordy could not possibly call her in front of Nancy.
âYeah. I just wanted to bring Dicky to visit her.â
âOh. Where are you right now?â
âIâm heading to the office. Letâs have dinner tonight.â
âSure. Will your boyfriend be joining us?â
âYes, he will.â
âI got a good look just now. Heâs quite handsome,â Zoe teased.
âHeâs pretty all right,â Cordy said shyly.
âPretty all right? Youâre too humble. His looks will rank him in the 90th percentile of all men in the country,â Zoe said agitatedly before adding,â But I donât blame you for having such superior taste in men. You used to have a man with looks that dazzled the entire country.â
Cordy pursed her lips.
Of course, she knew who Zoe was referring to.
âDid I just say something wrong?â Zoe noticed that Cordy went silent and immediately asked.
âNo, you didnât. Itâs all in the past. Since Iâve committed myself to a new relationship, Iâve let go of everything in the past,â Cordy said lightly.â Conversely, Iâm quite happy with your character now. This means that after you got together with Jay, youâve become that heartless yet pure-hearted and happy woman you used to be in the past.â
âSince when was I heartless?â Zoe feigned anger.
âYes, yes, youâre not heartless.â Cordy played along with her.
âBut I must admit that things are pretty good between Jay and I right now,â Zoe said honestly, âHad I known that Jay left me because of so many reasons that he had no control over, I wouldnât have hated him so much. Come to think of it, have you seen the news about me and Jay?â
âI have,â Cordy replied.
âWere you moved by our story?â
âYes, I was.â
âHuh?â Zoe furrowed her brows.
âIâve known about Jayâs heartaches for a long time.â
âWhat?!â Zoe exclaimed in shock. âHow did you know about it? Why didnât you tell me? Cordy Sachs, whose best friend are you exactly?â
Cordy smiled bitterly upon being questioned by Zoe. âJohn told me about it once, but my reasons for not telling you are the same as Jayâs. At first, we didnât want you to be burdened by it. Subsequently, the two of you passed each other by and I couldnât find an appropriate chance to tell you about it.â
Zoe bit her lip.
Things had indeed passed by in a flurry between her and Jay.
Many times, it seemed as though things ground to a stop before anything started.
They never had the time to explain things to each other.
âThankfully, the two of you are finally happily together.â Cordy gave them her blessings, saying, âCongratulations.â
âThank you,â Zoe gladly accepted Cordyâs blessings.
She truly felt that she was very fortunate right now, and there was no need for her to hide her true feelings.
âIâve reached my office. Iâll send you the address of the restaurant later,â Cordy said, âIâve invited Quinn.
See if you can get Jay to invite Sam over as well.â
âSure. Iâll tell Jay that.â
âSee you tonight.â
âBye.â
They hung up and Zoe turned back.
She saw Jay seated on the floor playing with Yelena, and she simply could not hold herself back.
She held Jayâs face in her hands and planted a huge kiss right on his lips!
