Chapter 1059

Jay could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind Cordy’s words, but he did not dare contemplate the possibility of a miracle.

Cordy did not say anything further.

Some things belonged to John alone. Given their relationship right now, she had no right to say anything further.

‘Congratulations to you.’ Cordy changed the subject.

Jay was stunned for a moment before flashing her a smile.

Of course, he knew what Cordy was congratulating him for.

■Regarding things between you and Zoe, I initially didn’t hold out much hope, thinking that you two would eventually pass each other by. Turns out that heaven is fair after all. Lovers do end up happily ever after,” Cordy looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky and said with a smile.

‘I still find it unreal now,” Jay said rather shyly, “Something that I never dared to even dream of happened just like that…”

“You deserve it,” Cordy affirmed.

‘Thank you.” Jay smiled.

It was a smile that felt like a spring breeze, conveying the sense of happiness that arose from the depths of his heart.

True love would always find its way to show itself.

’It’s getting late. We should head back, or Zoe and Patrick might end up blacking out on the dining table,’ Cordy joked.

‘Sure.’

Jay did not ask her any further.

They were merely long-time friends with warm affections and concern for each other.

The two of them went back inside.

Zoe, who was high from the alcohol, was standing on her chair and drinking straight out of the bottle.

Patrick, as a man, could not refuse to drink.

Seeing Zoe down the alcohol with gusto, he did the same as well and emptied the bottle in one go.

Right after he did so, it was clear that he could not hold it in.

But for the sake of his pride and dignity, he forced himself to swallow the alcohol down his throat.

Cordy walked over to him. “Stop drinking.”

“Cordy, you can’t be biased toward your boyfriend!” Zoe was upset. “It’s so rare for us to gather for a meal and you’re such a busy woman, heaven knows when our next gathering will be. We must drink till we drop tonight!”

‘You’re already drunk.”

’Who’s drunk?’

‘Patrick.”

‘I’m not drunk-burp!” Patrick belched. “I can still drink.”

‘Look, look, he says that he’s not drunk… burp…”

‘Drunk people will never admit that they are. We’ll have a chance to gather again next time.” Cordy shot Jay a glance.

Jay nodded, and he sat down on his wheelchair.

In one swift move, he hauled Zoe up in his arms.

Zoe shrieked, “What are you doing, Jay Parker?!”

‘I’m bringing you back.”

‘I want to drink some more.”

‘Be good!”

‘You cant be so selfish.”

’Zoe.”

‘You’re being fierce to me!” Zoe looked indignant.

‘Be good. You’re drunk and you’ll get an upset tummy.”

‘Is your heart aching for me?” Zoe began chuckling.

Jay pursed his lips.

They were still in the private room and everyone was staring at them.

‘I won’t go if you don’t reply me,” Zoe said stubbornly.

Jay said in a low voice, ‘Yes.”

‘Are you lying to me, Jay?!” Zoe said with a look of disbelief.

’I’m not.’

‘You are.”

‘Why would I lie to you? I don’t want you feeling bad from drinking too much. It aches my heart,” Jay said with a tinge of exasperation in his voice.

Zoe stared unblinkingly at Jay.

She did not mean that.
