A Life Debt Repaid
âI donât care what you say. Iâve already agreed with Mrs. Levine on your engagement.â
âYouâre making a huge mistake.â
âSo what if I am? You donât even have a girlfriend at this age N âBut I do!â Bob declared aloud.
âWhat?â Yulia was shocked to hear that.
âIâll tell you the truth. I spent the night at my girlfriendâs house.â
âWho is she?â
âThings arenât stable between us yet. Iâll bring her back home to see you once things are more settled,â Bob knew clearly that now was not a good time.
If his mom were to find out that he rejected Cora because of Zoe, she would probably burst out in anger.
âDonât you dare pull my leg on this.â
âI can handle my personal affairs. Leave me alone,â Bob said with a tinge of frustration in his voice.
âYou can handle your own affairs? Ever since you were young M âWhatâs more, Cora isnât interested in me either. Feel free to call Mrs. Levine to verify if you donât believe me.â Bob did not want to say any further. âIâm hanging up.â
With that, he ended the call.
Bob took a moment to compose himself before he returned to the dining table.
âYour mom?â Zoe asked.
âShe was asking why I didnât go home last night.â
âWhat did you tell her?â
âI told her I spent the night at my girlfriendâs house.â
Zoe was so shocked her face turned bright red, âYou didnât tell your mom itâs me, did you?â
âNot yet. Iâll waitâ¦â
âWait for a while more before telling her.â Zoe completed Bobâs unfinished sentence.
âItâs not a good time now.â
âI wonât make things difficult for you,â Bob promised her.
âI trust you,â Zoe said with a smile.
After breakfast, Bob took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Just when the two of them were preparing to hang out on the couch and watch some TV to make up for lost time last night, Bobâs phone rang again.
âMom, what do you want now?â
âCome back home right now!â
âIâll come back later.â
âIf you donât, Iâll kill myself!â
Bob had no choice but to tell Zoe, âMy mom wants me back home.â
âSure,â Zoe said thoughtfully, âIâll come back after Iâm done entertaining my mom.â
âOkay.â
âLast nightâ¦â
âIâll wait for you.â Zoe smiled.
It was a smile mixed with many emotions behind it.
âItâs a promise.â Bobâs heart started pounding.
He could not hide the bright smile on his face.
He swiftly put on a jacket and wore his shoes as he said to Zoe, âIâll crawl here tonight if I have to. You must wait for me at home, you must!â
âI will.â
âZoe, I love you so much.â
âMe too,â Zoe said with a smile.
Bob left wistfully.
Zoe could not bear to see Bob leave too, as she looked at his retreating figure.
She thought that he would be able to keep her company the entire day todayâ¦but it was fine.
She would wait for tonight.
Bob would come again at night.
Zoe waited for Bob at home expectantly.
In the afternoon, her doorbell rang.
Zoe opened the door excitedly but her smile froze upon seeing the visitor at the door.
It was Yulia Young, Bobâs mother.
