A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1248

Zoe was skipping around, reveling in bliss.

She had certainly been misbehaving today, but Jay had to admit that everything was worth it just to see the smile on her face.

As Zoe kept drinking with one guest after the other with a silly happy grin that seemed to broaden constantly, Jay sat nearby with a faint smile.

“Drink up! Wish me well…” Zoe poured herself a glass full but trailed off when she saw the person in front of her.

After all, it was Nancy Levine.

She was still here? It was already very late—she always slept early to maintain her healthy appearance, no?

Still, Zoe pursed her lips and told herself to get serious before holding up her glass. ‘Cheers, sister.”

Nancy was already scowling, and she scowled even harder after Zoe addressed her as ’sister’.

“That’s our relationship now,” Zoe muttered-she was not messing around.

Nancy kept scowling. “How unseemly it is for a lady to go around drinking.”

“You told me that life should be enjoyed as much as possible, no? You even brought me to a bar to ‘see the world’ when I became an adult, testing my alcohol tolerance. You told me never to drink beyond my limit, and I’m far from reaching that limit.”

Nancy was left stumped by Zoe’s words-she had always indulged Zoe’s whims, never saying no to her if it was something Zoe liked.

And during the years they were still mother and daughter, she would drink with Zoe since the girl was really fond of her alcohol…

“Came to wish me well too?” Zoe asked, changing the subject right then.

She was also surprised that Nancy would come to her—was Nancy not supposed to dislike her a lot?

“I don’t have the time,” Nancy said coolly.

“Then why are you here? Had a stroke?” Zoe blurted.

“Zoe York!” Nancy could suffer a stroke right then, but she took a deep breath-she would only be the one getting upset if she argued with Zoe.

After all, Zoe just declared that she would get upset with anything Nancy threw at her.

She gritted her teeth and said bluntly, “I came to ask about you and Bob.”
