A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 502
A Life Debt Repaid
There was a hint of teasing in Samâs tone, while Cordyâs pupils dilated.
Surprised?! Aghast was more like it!
Bob was dating Zoe, wasnât he? Why was he suddenly dating Cora?
What was going on here?
âThereâs still time before the trial starts,â Bob told Cordy. âLetâs step out for a moment.
Iâll tell you in private.â
âOkay,â Cordy agreed to it immediately.
Sam, however, was less than composed at that. âHey! Why act all hush- hush? Why canât you talk with me around? Arenât we bros? Bob!â
Bob simply ignored him and left with Cordy.
âSh*t!â Sam could not help cursing and barking at Bob. âRemember, Bob! Donât lust after your brotherâs wife!â
Cordy was at a loss for words-it wasnât surprising that Zoe was always so mean towards Sam.
Even if parents could name their child poorly, there was some truth to name-calling!
At the same time, Cordy and Bob stepped outside the courtroom to one of the walkways, where Bob cut straight to the point. âZoe and I broke up.â
âWhy?â Cordy had a hunch, but she didnât get it.
Bob smiled faintly. âShe never liked me. It was always Jay for her, and she was just being grateful to me⦠I had to let her go and give them my blessings.â
Even though Bob seemed thoroughly wounded in contrast to his usual cheerful demeanor, Cordy was still doubtful. âYouâre saying Zoeâs still into Jay?â
From what Cordy knew, Zoe wasnât the type who would toy with her partner in a relationship-she decided to be with Bob, and would therefore have given up on all her hopes in Jay.
And Jay was still comatose after that accident, wasnât he?
Did Zoe even know? Did she go to him?
âAs long as sheâs happy,â Bob said dolefully. âAs for me⦠Well, Iâm fine with anything.â
âSo thatâs why youâre dating Cora now?â Cordy asked, putting aside her doubts-only Zoe knew the truth, and Bob might not even be privy to it.
âYeah.â Bob nodded. âMy parents are really eager to have us get together, and I agreed to it.â
âBob, relationships arenât a game,â Cordy told him. âEven if youâve broken up with Zoe, you should calm yourself first instead of starting another relationship so hastilyâ¦â
âItâs alright,â Bob said, completely nonchalant. âIâm fine with anyone, now that itâs obvious itâs never going to be Zoe.â
Cordy had more to say, but Bob continued somberly, âThatâs all about Zoe and myself.
We never went public anyway, so I hope you can keep this secret for me⦠Just pretend weâve never dated.â
âOkay.â Cordy nodded, since there was no way she would tell anyone about that anyway.
âIf you see Quinn, please tell her what happened on my behalf too.â
âOkay.â
âAlright. Iâm going back inside now,â Bob said, turning to leave.
Cordy watched as he left, suddenly having this feeling that Bob was incapable of smiling or being happy ever again.
Turning away, she whipped out her phone to call Zoeâs number.
It had been a long time since they contacted each other. Cordy was afraid she would blab about Jay and affect Zoeâs relationship with Bob.
But at this very moment, she had no such concerns.
