Zoe promptly tapped on the article, which briefly described their family of three going out on a playdate.
There were some exaggerated parts here and there but nothing malicious.
She then scrolled through the comments.
[Can I just say that this is so sweet it hurts? I'm so jealous…]
[Jay Parker usually looks so reserved and aloof, but there's no hiding it when you're in love.]
[How could anyone look that good? They really deserve each other.]
[Oh, I think I believe in love again now…]
[This public display of affection caught me off guard, but I approve!]
Zoe scrolled through a huge portion of the comments, but most of them were nice.
At least there was nothing like 'hurting public morals', 'society these days', or 'family unfriendly'.
She decided to be more careful when they were out in public next time around.
However, she realized that it was not even her fault after some thought—it was clearly Jay's.
"So? I take it that you've seen it?" Cordy teased from the other end.
"You contacted me just for that?"
"Just concerned about how things are going on over there, sister." Cordy giggled.
"Thank you." Zoe played along. "Judging from your tone, things are going well for you too?"
"What?"
"How are things with Patrick?"
"It's alright, I guess," Cordy replied evenly.
In fact, things were warming up by leaps and bounds between them.
It might just be a change in mindset, but either way, things were going well now between them.
"I really wonder if I should give you my blessing." Zoe sighed, a little conflicted.
She felt at the bottom of her heart that Cordy should still stick to John.
But even if he was alive, he had to marry Nana, and that alone makes him undeserving of Cordy.
"It's alright to give it."
