Chapter 820
A Life Debt Repaid
Everything Zoe did, Jay would know all too wellâ¦
Zoe froze just then.
By the way, why did he not stop her?
âActually, Jay has been good to you. If youâre still into him, you should-â
Hold it,â Zoe stopped Quinn right then. âAbsolutely impossible. Not on my life.â
âYouâre really petty,â Quinn said, speechless.
âRevenge is a dish best served hot.â
âItâs ârevenge is a dish best served coldâ, girly.â
âItâs the same,â Zoe replied nonchalantly. âAnyway, Iâm hanging up. I need to get some rest.â
âItâs actually fine. Who knows, Jay might be enjoying itâ¦â
Zoe hung up right then.
Quinn was such a pervert-she had really changed after three yearsâ
Zoe put away her phone, noticing then that Yelena was still beside her.
Yelena always made a ruckus, but she was now so silent Zoe completely forgot about her.
So⦠she said a lot of child unfriendly stuff, did she not?
âMommy, are you done with your call?â Yelena asked.
âYeah.â
âCan I use your phone?â Yelenaâs eyes were wide with expectation.
Zoe frowned-she usually was not this addicted to watching YouTube.
Still, Zoe tolerated that. âGet Grandmaâs phone if you want. She doesnât usually use hers, and I have to take a lot of calls. Itâd be inconvenient.â
But I want to use yours,â Zoe said stubbornly.
âBe a good girl, Yelenaâ¦â
Donât you love me anymore?â Yelenaâs eyes were immediately red and wheeling with tears.
And with her little pout, she looked utterly miserable.
Zoe was melting right thenâshe knew that Yelena was just faking it, but her little girl was that good at acting.
She wondered if Yelena got that from her or Jay⦠though it was definitely her, since Jay was no actor.
1 âAlright, alright,â Zoe said and passed Yelena her phone.â Give it back to me in ten minutes. Iâm going to nap again.â
She needed time to cool off.
Yelena was beaming right then and happily took the phone away before running back, saying, âYou didnât unlock it, Mommy.â
Zoe used her face to unlock it.
âThanks, Mommy,â Yelena said and gave Zoe a peck on the cheek before running off again.
Zoe felt warmth over her chestâYelena was definitely her little angel, and thank goodness she was not emotional when she made her choice back then.
Naturally, she just did not know what Yelena was up to.
Meanwhile, Yelena was carrying the phone to the living room -she was still young and did not know what to do other than browse YouTube.
However, she was much smarter than her peers, understanding more while they were still in the dark about everything.
And she especially knew how to charm others.
âGrandma,â she called out to Clara.
âWhatâs wrong, darling?â Clara smiledâshe really reserved all her tenderness for her granddaughter.
âWhat was the name of the man who came last night?â Yelena asked.
âOh you saw her too? Heâs Jay Parker, your mommyâs colleague, I guess. What about it?â
So her daddyâs name was Jay Parker-Yelena remembered that.
She then said, âGrandma, could you help me look through mommyâs phone and find Jay Parkerâs number? I want to save it.â
âWhy?â 1 âI want to call him,â Yelena replied, still too young to know how to lie.
