A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1011

Jay suddenly said, "You won't get fat in a day."

"You're a riot. I'm going to be a pound heavier tomorrow, with half of it on my cheeks and the other half on my waist…"

Zoe closed her eyes, stopping herself from imagining the sight. "You were watching me eat, Jay! Why didn't you remind me of the so-called actress' self-discipline?!"

"You told me not to remind you."

Zoe was speechless.

With friends like these, who needed enemies?!

She slammed her fork and knife on the table right then and left the table.

Jay certainly knew that she was already making a run for the body weight scale in the room.

Soon, they heard the blood-curdling scream from the room.

In reality, she would at most have gained a quarter of a pound…

"Jay, I guess you should eat more." Clara gestured at Jay just then, used to Zoe's obsession with weight.

"Okay," Jay replied and kept eating.

Yelena woke up after he was finished, and he played with her a little to clear her drowsiness and kept her company as she ate dinner.

When she was finished, Jay took her on a stroll downstairs to help with her digestion before returning to the apartment to watch a cartoon with her.

Once it was about time, he had Clara bathe her, after which he read her a bedtime story and coaxed her to sleep.

Since Yelena took a rather long nap in the afternoon, it took him more time to coax him to sleep than usual.

As he returned to his room, he found Zoe just finishing her shower and double-checking their luggage.

It was only then that he remembered promising to help her pack up.

"Is everything ready? Do you need my help?" he asked nonetheless.

"Probably not," Zoe replied, since she was not missing anything after she checked—apparently, she helped pack Jay's luggage too.

"Thanks," Jay told her.

"You're welcome."
