Chapter 965
A Life Debt Repaid
âOh, come on. Everyone knows that Iâm the adopted son of the Levine family.â Jay refused to give in to Cora.
Coraâs eyes turned red with anger.
Zoe stood idly by and watched with completely no intending of stopping the fight.
Bob had to be the one to shoulder everything.
He, a rich heir who lacked neither money nor fame, gave in to Coraâs pleas and joined the TV show, telling himself that he could just treat it as a holiday. Yet, he did not expect to end up being the one hurt most deeply.
As if the torture of seeing Jay and Zoe being so in love was not enough, he even had to deal with the aftermath of their behavior.
He said, âYouâre wretched. Jay. Cora, donât stoop to his level. To me, youâre the best no matter what.â
Coraâs annoyance dissipated upon hearing Bobâs words as a smile broke across her face.
âEat more. I like seeing you eat well and becoming cute and chubby under my care.â Bob started putting lots of food on her plate.
âAre you saying Iâm fat?â Cora was on the brink of collapse again.
âI misspoke.â Bob immediately corrected himself, âI like seeing the look of joy and happiness when you eat the food I cook.â
âThen from now on, as long as itâs food that you prepared, Iâll eat it. At most, Iâll exercise more to lose weight.â
âYouâre really not fat at all.â Bob put more food on Coraâs plate. âDonât listen to Jay spout nonsense. Heâs just trying to make Zoe happy.â
âI think so too.â Cora and Bob sang the same tune.
Jay and Zoe did not cut in.
They simply looked at the other couple with a glad look on their faces.
After lunch, Jay and Zoe did not stay on.
Zoe pushed Jay on his wheelchair and returned to their homestay.
âShall we go for a stroll?â Jay suggested.
âSure.â
Zoe thought it was a good chance to walk off the calories from the meal they had.
She pushed Jay on the wheelchair and walked leisurely around the area.
There were no passers-by around and the production team had already left long ago.
Their photographers were still with them, though.
Because of that, it was not very appropriate for them to talk properly.
Zoe held it in for a while before finally asking the photographers, âCould you give us husband and wife some privacy, please? You can continue filming after we go back. Is that fine?â
The three photographers exchanged glances, but none dared to answer her.
âWeâre just walking around, so thereâs nothing much to film.â Zoe pushed harder. âWhatâs more, itâs time for lunch now, isnât it? You have to take care of your health in order to work well. Well head back in half an hour. Go and have your lunch first.â
The photographers thought about it before one of them asked tentatively,â
Are you sure youâll be back in half an hour?â
âDonât worry!â Zoe shot them a bright smile and immediately said politely,â Thank you so much.â
âYouâre welcome.â
The photographers finally left.
Zoe heaved a huge sigh of relief.
She was finally free from being under the camera lens. She almost could not take it any longer.
She was so relaxed that she did not notice the irrepressible smile on the face of the man on the wheelchair.
If he had heard her correctly, Zoe referred to them as âhusband and wifeâ just nowâ¦
âWe can talk now, Jay,â Zoe immediately said.
They only had half an hour, which was precious little time.
Jay snapped back to attention and asked, âWhat do you want to talk about? â
Zoe was slightly stunned.
Jayâs tone made it sound as if she was going to confess to him.
She immediately tried to clarify. âJust now, at Bobâs homestay, I kissed you only becauseâ¦â
âFor the cameras,â Jay finished her sentence.
âOh. Good that you know.â Zoe heaved a sigh of relief.
For some inexplicable reason, she somehow felt a little disappointed.
If Jay was so certain that she did it for the cameras, then did he kiss her back for the sake of the cameras as well?!
Frustration suddenly crept up her heart.
