A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1010

Zoey followed Jay into the elevator.

She wanted to speak several times, but gave up whenever she saw the stern look on Jay's face in the mirror within the elevator.

Even if she had cleared the air—even if they were now in a proper relationship, there was still a huge distance between them.

Arriving home, Zoe immediately picked up the strong scent of food.

And she had been famished.

They had been playing with Yelena the whole day without eating much, so eating something a little late would probably be fine.

"Welcome home," Clara greeted them warmly as she approached them. "Oh, Yelena’s asleep already?"

She took Yelena off Jay's arms as if it was only natural, and Jay didn’t reject her in any way.

In other words, Jay was only being distant towards Zoe.

He then told Clara, "We've been playing the entire day. Let her sleep."

"Okay." Clara always spoiled Yelena, and naturally couldn’t bear to wake her since she was sleeping so soundly.

Carrying Yelena into her room, Clara said, "Dinner’s ready. Just wash your hands and you can eat."

Zoe naturally didn’t shy away and headed straight to the dining table.

Ever since Zoe returned to showbiz, Clara had started to learn how to cook low-fat food and would cook separate portions for Zoe. Naturally, the menu would not be different aside from Zoe's, so she could have a normal menu if she got sick of the food.

And today, Zoe wanted to let loose—she certainly couldn’t resist the perfectly marbled steak filet.

Clara was naturally pleased to see Zoe gorging on the steak when she returned to the dining table.

Even if she was the one who helped Zoe's diet regiment, there was this part in her heart where she hoped that Zoe would eat normally.

Staying healthy was more important, after all.

"You're that hungry?" she asked casually.

"Famished—there's not much to eat at the amusement park," Zoe replied, and remembered something while she ate. "You cooked early today."

In fact, it was just five in the evening.
