Chapter 1244
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn explained, âIâm just saying⦠Letâs go home together after the wedding is over, okay?â
âWell see whether thereâs other arrangements,â Sam said, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Quinn pursed her lips, while Sam picked up a plate of food and headed for a table nearby.
He remained cold to her.
And here she thought he was concerned when he asked her to eatâ¦
Perhaps it was just mentioned in passing?
She should not have expected too much.
As the newlyweds moved from table to table, Zoe had Bob walk with her.
Naturally, they were now friends again-their past relationship was just a beautiful memory, and they both let it go.
âI just saw Cora approach you,â Zoe suddenly said.
âStill such a gossiper.â
âNot going to kiss and make up?â
âCan you not poke your nose in my affairs?â
âIâm worried you canât get over me and stay alone forever,â Zoe said solemnly.
âDonât give yourself too much credit, Zoe,â Bob said in contempt. âYou think Iâd still obsess over you after youâre married? Rich kids like me get all the ladies I need. I just donât want to stop having fun so soon-if I want to marry, I can do it anytime.â
Zoe simply listened to him brag, looking utterly skeptical.
âAnyway, just quit meddling with my business,â Bob huffed grumpily. âJust enjoy your life with Jay.â
âI just want to say that Cora is not exactly likable and she gets petty, but it must be said that she really loves you,â Zoe reasoned. âYouâre right for each other, and your parents and hers are happy about it, so try to reconsider. As a person whoâs directly involved, if I can let go of my prejudice against Cora, why canât you?â
âIâm not as heartless as you,â Bob snapped in disdain.
âYouâre the one whoâs heartless,â Zoe snapped back.
And with that, they went into a war with words, while Jay, John, and Cordy continued to greet their guests.
Cordy sighed exasperatedly, concerned that Zoe might have forgotten she was the bride and had to show the guests some hospitality. âZoe is still so capricious.â
âLet her be.â Jay smiled tenderly.
He would never tie her down with rules and obligations-as long as she liked it, it was fine.
Cordy nodded, and all three of them continued to move around the tables while Zoe continued to argue with that best man whom she had history with.
In the end, she said, âAlright, Iâll stop. Letâs see how youâll cry when you stay alone forever.â
With that, Zoe stormed off, and Bob watched her leave.
He still felt a little bitter inside because he felt he would never forget her.
Naturally, he was happy to see her happy and felt nothing else.
Moreover, he would not start a new relationship when the old one was not really over because it would be unfair to everyone.
In fact, he had been unfair to Cora when he dated her while holding on to past sentiment, and he did not want it to go on.
Maybe when the day came and he was really over it, he could reconsider.
Meanwhile, as Zoe returned to Jayâs side, he asked casually, âWhat have you been talking about with Bob? That took a while.â
âWhat, are you jealous?â Zoe grinned.
âNope, Iâm not.â
âYou donât love me anymore!â Zoe exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Jay smiled feebly. âIâve been jealous for too long. I canât do it anymore.â
