Chapter 819
A Life Debt Repaid
When Zoe finally coaxed Yelena to sleep, she could not help leaning in and giving her daughter a peck on her pudgy cheeks.
Thank goodness she did not take after Jay, or she was never going to explain herself.
Eventually, she dozed off⦠Until she woke up with a start from her ringing phone.
She still had her eyes closed as she reached for it, when she suddenly felt her phone being passed in her hand.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was Yelena, and she felt warmth in her heart.
Giving her a peck on the cheek, she then answered the call.â Why did you call me so early, Quinn?â
âEarly?! Itâs 11 AM! Time for lunch.â
What?!
Zoe sprang up from bed in disbelief.
She had been sleeping for that long?!
Zoe then turned to look at Yelena and saw that her daughter had already changed into fresh clothes, clearly having gotten out of bed for a while and only returning to bed to pass her her phone.
âWhy did you call me so late last night?â Quinn asked.
âDid I?â Zoe asked, before remembering that she did without thinking much about it.
âHow much did you drink, honestly?!â Quinn sighed.
âPot, meet kettle. Did you know that you were calling for Sam in your sleep?â Zoe exposed her right then.
âDid I?â Quinn blushed from Zoeâs words.
Though she did not remember how she made it home last night, she more or less remembered being carried.
Her initial thought was that they would do whatever they wanted while she was out like light.
However, even though she could not tell since was really drunk, and even if she wanted to accuse them, she realized that she had not been touched at all.
Still, she was a little unhappy about being teased and retorted, âForget about me for a second. Do you know what you were doing last night while youâre drunk?â
Zoe frowned-did Quinn know that Jay carried her home?
âDo you know what you did to Jay while you were drunk?â Quinn asked.
âWhat can I do to him?â Zoe thought nothing of it.
âYou were touching him.â
âShut up. Iâd never do that.â Zoe snorted in disbelief.
She always avoided Jay like the plague, let alone approach him on purpose.
And yet⦠Jay was the one who carried her home.
Well, she was asleep and did not know what happened, so she was not the one who started it.
âYou donât remember anything?â Quinn asked tentatively then.
Nope. Why would I?â
âYou were saying that Jay felt nothing below the waist,â Quinn reminded her then. âAnd you were inviting me to join in too.â
Zoe frowned as the memory of that slowly grew vivid.
She just wanted to find out what was wrong with Jayâs leg, whether it was disabled or whatnotâ¦.
There was no way she would touch Jay anywhere else.
âSh*t.â
She could remember it then, and worse still⦠the sensation on his finger still lingered!
Zoe almost dropped her phone.
âZoe? Zoe?! Zoe!â Quinn kept calling out to her.
âWhy did you have to remind me?! You could have let me forget about it! Jay is my instructor now, so I canât even hide from him-how am I supposed to face him?!â
She really wanted to just end herself right then and there.
âYou were the one who teased me first,â Quinn said a little softer then.
Zoe really felt like crap and would cry if she had the tears.
To make things worse, Jay was not drunk last night, only she was!
