A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1026

Zoe asked grumpily, "Jay Parker, is it really that easy to give up on me?!"

"No," Jay quickly replied.

"Then why would you do it time after time?"

"Well, what's our relationship now?" Jay asked in return.

Zoe frowned, but it slowly dawned on her that he was pointing out that they were married.

If he really wanted to abandon her, why would he marry her now?

Somehow, that thought granted her comfort.

"Yeah, me too," Zoe suddenly said.

"What?" Jay asked, a little confused just then.

"I never abandoned you, even if you left me in despair repeatedly. Whenever you made a move, I'd…"

Zoe trailed off, reluctant to finish—she had her pride too!

But she could not lie either…

Even so, no matter how Jay hurt her, he just had to do something—anything—and she would be defenseless.

"Anyway, about Bob…"

Zoe suddenly brought the conversation back on track.

It left Jay feeling like he was stabbed—repeatedly.

Bob was certainly a thorn in his side…

Zoe said, looking Jay straight in the eye, "I think I really liked Bob and even envisioned a future with him."

She could see the displeasure in his eyes, but he had to restrain himself.

She never had the ability to make him jealous before, while he could leave her drowning with envy if she really wanted to pick up every old grudge she had against him.
