A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1029

"Are you really not worried at all?" Zoe asked Jay. "I mean, we really did lie to the public, and that's going to stick! Our careers will suffer from this permanently…"

Zoe was seized with further panic the more she spoke, especially since she was the reason for all this.

If it was not to save her reputation, Jay would never have publicly announced their marriage.

And now, she was dragging him down with her.

She was fine with anything that came her way, but Jay would now suffer with her…

"Don't worry. I can handle this," Jay said, even giving her an assuring look just then.

"But…"

"Just rest. I'll make some calls, set up an arrangement."

"What are you going to do?"

"You'll know soon enough."

"You're keeping it from me?"

"Just didn't want to worry you."

"I'm already worried." Zoe huffed. "The more you tell me not to, the more I'm panicking here."

"Be good now," Jay said, patting her head. "Believe in your husband—believe that he can protect you."
