A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 445
A Life Debt Repaid
âDo you live around here?â Cora asked her.
âHmm.â âThis neighborhood seems pretty good,â Cora said lightly.
âSo, you think I should stay in the slums, donât you?â Zoe sounded rather blunt.
âI didnât mean that. I also feel quite guilty to see Mom treat you that wayâ¦â
âOkay, thatâs enough. You donât have to tell me about your good relationship with your mother.â Zoe interrupted her.
Cora then stopped talking.
Though she did not treat Zoe badly, Zoe did not like her.
âLetâs go,â Jay said to Cora as he put down his spoon.
âI havenât finished eating.â Cora liked to eat apple pies very much. Besides, the apple pies here were very nice.
âIâll get the leftovers packed up for you,â Jay said. âGet into the car first.â
Jay handed the car key to Cora.
She nodded obediently. âOkay. Thank you, Uncle Jay.â
After that, she grabbed the key and left first.
Zoe sneered.
Jay was nice to everyone. It was in the middle of winter, and he would rather suffer in the cold to pack the food for Cora than let her get cold.
However, Zoe was still confused.
Why did he treat her so badly?
What did she do to make him hate her?
Was she any worse than Cora?
Oh, no.
He started to hate her after she fell in love with him. He then revealed his true colors.
Jay had been very nice to her too in the past. Did he treat Cora the same way too?
Jay grabbed the apple pie that had been packed and was about to leave.
âJay, arenât you afraid that Cora will fall in love with you?â Zoe suddenly asked him.
Jayâs hand stiffened as he held the apple pie.
âIâm just reminding you. You should have a sense of propriety even if you want to be nice to people.â
Jay kept quiet and brushed past her.
Zoe chuckled, and she inexplicably shed a tear.
It was not regret or grief, however-she just felt sorry for her past self.
Jay did not deserve her at all.
Luckily, her apple pie was ready at that moment. The sweet taste made her think of her relationship with Bob, and the past soon disappeared.
Cora carefully ate her apple pie in the car.
She was slightly happy, and she felt that Jay was not that aloof toward her.
He would eat the apple pie with her. Besides, he would even pack it up for her for fear that she might get cold.
Currently, she yearned to gain approval from the Levine family.
âDo you like Bob?â Jay suddenly asked.
She was stupefied because of the sudden question, and after that, she blushed slightly.
She whispered, âIâve got a pretty good impression of him.â
âYour mother brought you here today to let you get to know Bob and date him, isnât it?â
âYes.â She nodded honestly.
âHeâs not suitable for you,â Jay said straightforwardly.
Cora looked at him and asked slowly and sadly, âDo you think Iâm not worthy of Bob?â
âNo, itâs just that he wonât like a girl like you.â
