Chapter 1148
A Life Debt Repaid
âWhen did I say I got weary of you? I was talking about this affair. What you did wasnât very appropriate. You know that Cordyâ¦â âFine! Letâs get a divorce!â Zoe said angrily.
âZoe!â
âLook! Youâre so fierce to me! As expected, all men are alike. They wonât cherish you once they get you. Will you do what you did back then? You got together with another woman after kissing me!â
âDidnât I explain that to you? It was because I suddenly learned about our relationshipâ¦â
âItâs just an excuse!â Zoe refused to listen. âJay, I saw through you. Letâs get a divorce now!â
âShut up, Zoe. If you dare to say that again, Iâll⦠Iâllâ¦â
âDo you want to abuse me physically? Well, Iâll report you to the police if you abuse me. Iâll expose your sins on the Internet, so you wonât be able to survive in the entertainment circle⦠Hmm!â Zoe widened her eyes.
Jay! That b*stard! How could he kiss her in front of someone else?
John was still around.
She twisted her body to resist Jay, but he used a greater force as she struggled more, grabbing her tightly and prohibiting her from moving.
Hmm⦠Hmmâ¦
Jay was not gentle at all, so grievances washed over Zoe.
On the other hand, John put the glass down and left quietly.
He was in such deep grief, but he was forced to suffer through their lovey- dovey momentâ¦
It seemed like he was the only unhappy person in the whole world.
Consequently, Zoeâs lips became swollen from Jayâs kisses.
âDo you still want to talk about divorce?â Jay threatened her.
Zoe remained quiet because she did not dare to do so, afraid that he would bite her hard if she said anything more about that.
Although she felt slightly aggrieved, inexplicable sweetness overcame her.
Was Jay filled with a deep fear that she might give him upâ¦
âD*mn!â Zoe suddenly regained her wits. âWhere is John? Where did he go?â
She only realized then that they were the only ones left in the private room.
Jay pulled Zoe over and placed her on his lap. âHeâs long gone.â
âWhy didnât you stop him?â Zoe was at a loss for words.
âDo you want him to see us do it on the spot?â
âJay, youâve changed!
âYouâve become glib-tongued!â
He did not exercise his self-restraint at all.
âLeave him alone. Heâll feel sadder if we try and console him now.â Jay sighed. âNo one can help him.
He can only figure it out himself/
âI always feel that he can have whatever he wants. He was superior to others from when he was born, but he suffered a loss in Cordyâs hands!
Well, weâre all fools of our destinies.â
âItâs getting late. Letâs go home and rest. Donât you want to look pretty tomorrow?â
âIt isnât Johnâs wedding. So, whatâs the big deal of me being pretty?â Zoe muttered.
Jay felt sorry too, but he could only accept it since things had turned out this way.
The night was hazy.
While Quinn was driving Cordy home, both of them remained silent for a long while.
Quinn took a deep breath. She finally could not hold herself back. âCordy, you can still go back on your word.â
Cordyâs eyes flickered.
She turned her gaze from outside the window to Quinn.
âI donât know what happened between you and John, but I feel that you guys still love each other. His love for you remains the same, and youâve been suppressing your feelings for him all this whileâ¦â
âNo, that isnât true.â Cordy interrupted Quinn and uttered calmly, âI no longer feel anything for him.â
âWhy are you so sad if you feel nothing for him?â Quinn sounded firm. âYou cried so sad under Johnâs body just now, and your gaze betrayed you now.
Cordy, oneâs life isnât long. Donât be so hard on yourself over a few things.â
