A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 438
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy was actually supportive of Zoeâs relationship with Bob, though she also held out a little hope on Jay in a corner of her heart.
Maybe, just maybeâ¦
Even then, Cordy found that part of her conflicting.
âYou mean we should be doing it already?â Zoe asked.
âI actually thought that you two were hitting it off,â Cordy replied. âIâm actually surprised that youâre that conservative.â
âNot really, itâs just that things hadnât really gotten that far⦠but he caught me watching an adult video a while ago,â Zoe confessed awkwardly.
âYou were watching what?â Cordy laughed.
âDonât start. I was just checking it out since Quinn asked for help, but Bob somehow stumbled upon me browsing! To be honest, we almost did it right then⦠if Bob didnât suddenly have to leave for some thingamajig.â
âAnd then? Was there no other opportunities?â Cordy asked.â I never knew you were that shy.â
âIâm a girl too, woman,â Zoe snapped. âI canât exactly just take the lead! Also, Bob may look like a playboy, but heâs actually extremely conservative about that stuff⦠Thatâs why Iâm wondering if I should be a bit more proactive? It feels like weâre lacking something if we donât do it.â
âSince youâre sure about Bob and really have feelings for him, it doesnât matter who initiates it⦠Though I do encourage you to do so,â Cordy gave her support right then.
At this stage, it would be ridiculous if Zoe continued to save herself for Jay.
Zoe actually seemed a little chipper after Cordy offered her encouragement too. âSoâ¦
Should I get prepared?â
âSure.â Cordy smiled.
âBy the way, when are you coming back?â Zoe could not help asking then. âI mean, Rocktown is where Jessica grew up. Donât you think the air there is dirtier because of that?â
Cordy chuckled, earnestly appreciative of Zoeâs earnestness just then.
Her life would certainly have been beautiful if not for her domestic troubles.
âIâm coming back once Iâm done with things here,â Cordy replied-as in, when she recovered.
âAlright. Iâll personally cook for you once youâre back,â Zoey exclaimed excitedly.
âSure.â
âYouâd better not keep me waiting. My children might be able to spell ABC before you come back, at this rate.â
They chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
Cordy had to admit she envied Zoe for having that personality of hers-candid and carefree no matter the situation and always full of hope in life.
Cordy lowered her phone to look up at the scant few stars up in the dark skies, pensive.
It was very late into the night, but Cordy did not fall asleep.
She did not nap that much, but she lost sleep anyway.
She checked the time and saw that it was already 11 PM.
Was John coming back?
Maybe not.
She got up, leaning on her crotch to leave her room to get herself a glass of water.
She just opened the door, when she found John striding inside from the living room, his cheeks flushed as if he had been drinking.
He clearly saw her too and smiled as she stood at the doorway of her room. âWaiting for me?â
Cordy snorted and promptly turned, intent on returning inside.
Those words disgusted her so much she did not want her drink!
