A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249

Nancy was left staring at Zoe-was she lecturing her?!

What gave her the right?!

How was it Zoe's business how she raised her daughter?!

"Of course, it's just a suggestion.’ Zoe shrugged. "What you do with Cora is all your business."

Nancy had to stop herself from saying what was on the tip of her tongue, though she suddenly felt as if Zoe was taking her for a ride.

"Alright, I’m going over there-my friends are waiting for me," Zoe said, twirling her wine glass. "Enjoy the party, sister."

And with that, she left.

Nancy inhaled deeply in turn, feeling like she could get a heart attack everytime Zoe called her 'sister'... and she had to do it so naturally!

"Mom, what were you talking with Zoe about?" Cora asked, walking up to her just then.

"Nothing." Nancy was not in the mood to tell.

Cora did not ask in turn. After all, there was nothing she could do about Zoe when Zoe was so thick-skinned, and right now, she was more concerned about her relationship with Bob and was not in the mood to care about anything else.

"Mom," she said. "Could you talk to Bob's mom? He's not listening to me at all, but he'll listen to his mother. You know Mrs. Davis, so you can ask her to talk to Bob again-'

"Cora," Nancy said, cutting her short.

Then, as Cora stared at her in shock, she finished, "I think you should learn to fight for yourself already."

Cora stared at Nancy in disbelief, unsure what had gotten into her mother.

Her mother had always agreed to her every request, never saying no to anything.

What had gotten into her today?!

"I just think it's time you grow up," Nancy continued bluntly. "You're not young, so don't keep relying on me. I'll eventually be too old to help- moreover, this is your relationship. If we old folks meddle, it changes the entire relationship itself. This time, I believe you should try to fight for it yourself."

"B-But Bob doesn't love me," Cora groaned reluctantly.

"Exactly. Do you think the marriage would be happy if we forced him to be with you? A loveless marriage is just a house of cards-it'd collapse from the slightest touch," Nancy said bluntly then.
