Chapter 1057
A Life Debt Repaid
Jay was stunned for a moment as his ears turned red.
Yelena saw what her mommy did and her smiley face immediately turned sour. She said unhappily, âMommy, you played cheat! How could you kiss Daddy while weâre not paying attention!â
âNonsense.â Zoe said in all seriousness, âYour daddy is my husband. I can kiss him anytime I want.â
âI donât want that,â Yelena grumbled. âDaddy is my Daddy. Heâs mine.â
âYouâre wrong.â Zoe informed Yelena very seriously, âYou daddy is forever mine. Iâm just loaning him to you for the time being and allowing him to play with you. Ultimately, he belongs to me.â
Boo hoo hoo! Daddy is mine!â Yelena was driven to tears by Zoeâs words.
âYou must learn to accept reality. You can find your own husband in the future,â Zoe said ruthlessly.
Jay was rendered speechless.
Zoe was being calculative with a three-year-old.
âYelena, donât cry. Iâll always be your daddy,â Jay comforted her.
âHmph.â Yelena immediately puffed her chest up and said, âDaddy said that heâs mine.â
âHeâs bluffing you. Heâll chase you out of the house once youâre all grown up.â
âBoo hoo hooâ¦â Yelena burst into angry tears at Zoeâs words once again.
Zoe was suddenly in the best of moods.
Who asked Yelena to hog her husband all day?
âDaddyâ¦â Yelena hugged Jay tight, refusing to let go.
Zoe scored and left happily.
Jay hugged Yelena back dotingly.
Happiness flooded his heart.
Zoe had called him her husbandâ¦
In the evening, Zoe and Jay headed to the address that Cordy sent them for dinner.
Quinn was invited as well, although Sam did not turn up.
Cordy gave Zoe a look that asked, âWhy didnât you call Sam over?â
Zoe, the loud person that she was, said outrightly, âI asked Jay to call Sam but he said he wasnât free. I asked him why and he refused to explain.â
She turned to look at Quinn. âAre things still bad between you and Sam?â
Quinn smiled. âBut of course.â
âWhat is he putting on airs for?â
âItâs not because of him.â
âIf itâs not him then who could it be? You?!â Zoe would never think that the problem lay with Quinn.
Quinn had always been an obedient girl since she was young and a top student to boot.
âI am the problem.â
âWhat exactly did Sam do in his past life to deserve someone like you?â Zoe lamented.
Cordy said to Zoe, âPerhaps Sam really has something on. Whatâs more, itâs reasonable for him to feel uncomfortable with me bringing my boyfriend to meet all of you.â
âWhy would he feel uncomfortable?!â Zoe just wanted to complain on Quinnâs behalf.
âSam is Johnâs friend. What do you think?â Cordy was baffled.
Zoe was stunned.
That was when realization hit her.
Cordy gave a half smile and said, âAllow me to introduce my boyfriend, Patrick Stuart. These are two of my best friends, Zoe York and Quinn Summer. This is Zoeâs husband, Jay Parker.â
âHi everyone. Iâm Patrick,â he said very politely and greeted everyone by name, shaking their hands.
After the formalities, Patrick eagerly handed over presents that he had prepared for them. âHope you guys like them.â
âNot bad, not bad,â Zoe teased as she received the gift box.
Zoe and Quinn both received a Hermes scarf in their gift boxes.
âI have one too!â Cordy said as she lifted the scarf tied to her bag.
âGood taste.â Zoe was generous with her compliments.
âThank you,â Patrick said humbly. âAs long as all of you appreciate it. I was worried that I might not be good enough.â
âHow could that be?â Zoe posed with her scarf to see how good she looked with it.
âI have big shoes to fill, after all.â
âHa ha ha, thatâs true.â Zoe was frank.
Patrick admired Zoeâs personality.
She did not bother hiding her true feelings.
