A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1218

In the photo, it looked as if Cordy was John's bride, and they were really getting married…

Cordy pursed her lips as she stared at it.

She then tore her eyes away and replied to Zoe's text: [Don't send that photo anywhere else or tweet it. It's inappropriate.]

[Puh-lease. What's inappropriate about that? The four of us are just gorgeous—we'd be the kings and queens of showbiz!]

Zoe's excitement was palpable, but Cordy was stern nonetheless.

[Zoe, I'm not the bride.]

Zoe could actually feel Cordy's wrath even from behind the screen—she was livid, even.

As such, Zoe quickly replied: [I won't tweet it. I just wanted to show you how good us four looked. Just save it for posterity.]

Cordy, however, disagreed—she was adamant that the photo was inappropriate.

Maybe she just wanted to avoid looking at the photo and let her imagination go astray.

Still, it was Zoe's photo, and it was her freedom if she wanted to save it.

[Aren't you a little upset, Cordy?] Zoe asked gingerly.

Cordy denied it. [Nope.]

[It feels like you're upset that John is getting married.]

[You're imagining things.]

[Honestly, there are times you shouldn't lie to yourself, Cordy. I think Wendy doesn't suit my brother too.]

[Don't say that, Zoe. And definitely not now.]

Cordy had just texted that when Zoe called her.

She answered it, and Zoe seemed to muster her courage to say, "Zoe, I think I'd regret it if I don't get this off my chest…"

Cordy pursed her lips.

She actually knew what Zoe would say, but did not stop Zoe—much to her own surprise.

"That's what you think," Cordy said calmly. "He has really been good to Wendy."

So good, in fact, that he insisted on marrying Wendy even when she made it clear that Wendy was cheating on him.

"Like I said, he just wanted to use Wendy to distract himself from his feelings for you! He doesn't want to burden you!" Zoe insisted.

"You're not him, Zoe…"

"Fine, then let me put you this way—are you going to do nothing but watch while he marries scum like Wendy Crane?!" Zoe asked sharply.

Cordy pursed her lips but decided that she was fine with it.

She was not the one getting married anyway, and she had already warned John.

He was the one who doubted her, and that made it his own responsibility, did it not?

"You can talk to John yourself if you can't bear to see it happen," Cordy said evenly.

"I wouldn't want your help if I could get through to him," Zoe snorted, speechless. "I might've said that he deserves to be deceived, but I still tried to talk to him in private. He refused to listen at all."
