Chapter 851
A Life Debt Repaid
Zoe was speechless.
Jayâs name just had to keep popping up.
Was she unable to survive without him?
If Jay really wanted to take responsibility, he would already have done so. He did not need to bury his head in the sand and pretend he did not know anything.
âHe wonât take responsibility for this. Itâs that simple.â Zoe did not want to explain any further.
It would just be a waste of breath.
Quinn wanted to say more but someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Clara opened the door and poked her head in. âZoe, Jay is here.â
Zoe was stunned.
The look on Quinnâs eyes clearly said, âI told you so. I know Jay Parker isnât like what you described him to be.â
âWhat are you doing just standing there? Go out and discuss with Jay how to deal with the news,â
Quinn urged.
Zoe pursed her lips.
She eventually walked out of the room with Quinn.
Jay was carrying Yelena in the living room.
Yelena wrapped herself around Jay as she said, âDaddy, are you here to bring me out to play? But Mommy is at home today. Arenât you afraid that sheâll see you?â
Zoe furrowed her brows.
What did Yelena say?!
Quinn was shocked too, but she quickly figured out what was happening.
Clearly, Yelena and Jay had been in contact since long ago, yet Zoe thought that Jay was still clueless.
How could someone as smart as Jay be clueless about it?
When news broke out today, Jay did not respond immediately, and it was probably because he already knew that Zoe had a daughter. Given his personality, he must have wanted to think through how to deal with the entire situation before coming to find Zoe.
Jay saw Zoe come out of the room along with Quinn.
He put Yelena down and said, âDaddy has something to discuss with Mommy today. Play by yourself for now, all right?â
âNo.â Yelena tightened her arms around Jayâs neck. âI want Daddy.â
âYelena, be good.â
âI want to play with Daddy.â Yelena turned to face Jay with those large, innocent eyes that one would find hard to reject.
Zoe and Quinn saw the tender look on Jayâs face, his eyes brimming with love, as he said, âAfter Daddy and Mommy are done talking, Daddy will play with Yelena, okay?â
âCan Daddy sleep with Yelena? Daddy will sleep with Yelena tonight,â Yelena said innocently.
Jay pursed his lips. Of course, he could not promise her.
Just because he wanted to stay behind did not mean Zoe would let him.
âDaddy, donât you want to stay with me?â Yelenaâs eyes turned red as tears welled up in her eyes.
Quinn witnessed for herself some serious acting chops right there.
Yelenaâs expressions were so on point-did she get it from Zoe?
No.
If Zoe had Yelenaâs emotional intelligence, she would not have suffered so much in her love life.
âI promise to only leave after you fall asleep, okay?â Jay immediately gave in.
âOkay.â Yelena nodded.
Her eyes twinkled, knowing that she succeeded in getting her way.
Quinn could not help but smile.
