A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1046

Except for breathing, there was only the sound of their heartbeats in the quiet space.

"Zoe." Jay finally spoke up.

When he spoke, he caught Zoe off guard, so she trembled slightly.

Consequently, Jay laughed.

Suddenly, his eyes seemed to have lit up brightly.

He was at such an age, but he had such clear and bright eyes. Well, he was indeed devastatingly bewitching.

"Did I scare you?" he asked gently.

"I was thinking. Of course you scared me when you suddenly spoke," Zoe answered grumpily.

"I was referring to the thing I said at the press conference today."

Zoe's heart skipped a beat.

She recalled everything that Jay said at the press conference today… Consequently, many emotions overwhelmed her.

Zoe took a deep breath and said slowly, "Jay, I did hate you for many years."

"I know."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zoe's eyes swiftly turned red.

However, she felt excruciating pain when she recalled her past grievances and how Jay suffered in silence.

"I'm afraid you couldn't accept it. Who can date their uncles?"

"At most, I could just assume I was disgusted by you. I didn't have to hate you so much!"

Jay was struck speechless. Was she so disgusted?

When he knew that Zoe was his biological niece, he was not disgusted at all, because it was Zoe. So, nothing was disgusting. He just felt deep pain and despair.

"My identity was exposed after that. You had so many chances. Why didn't you tell me?" Zoe interrogated him.
