Chapter 1147
A Life Debt Repaid
After Cordy smoothed her clothes, she got up to leave.
âCordy.â Zoe could not hold herself back anymore, so she ran out of the washroom.
She staggered, so she nearly threw herself on Cordy and made Cordy fall.
â Are you going?â Zoe hugged Cordy and refused to let go.
âHmm, I have to wake up early tomorrow. You guys should go home early.â
â Let me give you a ride home.â
âLook at you. Youâd better take care of yourself,â Cordy said. âMr. Parker is at the door.â
âOkay, weâll give you a ride.â
âIâll do it,â Quinn chimed in. âYou and Mr. Parker should go home first. You canât even walk steadily.â
âNo, Iâ¦â
âZoe, listen to me.â Quinn sounded serious.
Zoe bit her lips. She wanted to chat for a little longer with Cordy.
âWell, Iâll leave with Cordy first.â Quinn ignored Zoe before she was about to leave with Cordy.
The door was opened, and Jay was indeed at the door.
When he saw Cordy come out, he appeared slightly awkward.
âZoe is drunk. Please take care of her.â On the contrary, Cordy spoke up very naturally.
âOkay, do you want me to give you a ride?â
âLet me,â Quinn hurriedly said.
So, Jay mentioned nothing more about that.
It would be very awkward if he gave Cordy a ride now.
After Cordy and Quinn left, Jay entered the private room, where he saw Zoe sitting unsteadily beside John. âJohn, are you⦠okay?â
Did she not address him as her nephew?
Jay rolled his wheelchair over to them, but he did not urge them to leave.
After all, Zoe could easily get rid of her hangover. Being good at drinking, even if she was very drunk tonight, she could still be lively and energetic the next day.
âJohnny,â Jay called after John.
âHmm,â John replied.
He did not expose his emotions, but he picked up the glass of wine and started drinking.
Zoe wanted to stop him, but she found it good to let him drown his sorrows.
She picked up the glass and wanted to drink too, but Jay stopped her.
Hence, she was dissatisfied.
âYouâre the bridesmaid tomorrow.â Jay reminded her.
However, Zoe pouted.
She was sober now, and she had regained her wits.
She inevitably said, âJohn, werenât you too impatient? You canât do that in front of everyone⦠Although youâre left with no options since sheâs going to marry tomorrow, you have to respect her thoughts. You canât do that just because you were drunk! Well, Cordy hates you even more now.â
John remained silent, while Jay was struck speechless. âDonât talk too much.â
Did she not see how much pain John was in?
That kind of affairâ¦
If he could hold himself back, he would not have gone to such an extent.
Who was willing to see their beloved hate them?
âI was anxious too. I wanted to give him a chance on the last night. I didnât expect thatâ¦â Zoe was angry about how John let her down.
âThat wasnât a chance at all. Cordy went to such lengths. Of course, thereâs no longer any chance between them!â
âSo, are you saying that I made a mistake?â Zoe asked.
âYes, you were indeed wrong.â
âJay, weâve just been married but youâve become weary of me now, huh?â Zoe interrogated him.
