A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259

"Why not?" Nancy calmly shot back. "Legitimate children take priority!"

Zoe was stunned for a moment, before realizing what Nancy meant.

Turning toward Jay, she told him, “Your sister is calling you a b*st*rd."

Jay was speechless-Zoe really took it all in stride, did she not?

Nancy in turn ignored Zoe and helped Cordy with the bangle, satisfied with how it looked on her wrist. "Johnny’s grandmother would definitely be pleased to know that he married such a great wife.”

Cordy was a little embarrassed from the flattery, while Nancy quickly said, "Alright, let's eat."

"Thank you, Aunt Nancy," Cordy said earnestly-being accepted by family was most precious and emotional for her, someone who was denied familial warmth since she was a child.

After the tea ceremony, everyone headed to Levine Manor's spacious dining hall for lunch.

Zoe was famished, since she hurried to Levine Manor without breakfast, worried that Nancy would scold her for being late.

In fact, she would probably get upset if anything did not go her way at all.

Somehow, even after they rushed to Levine Manor, neither Cordy nor John arrived, even taking their sweet time to come.

Truly, the difference in treatment given to illegitimate children was all too obvious-and as the wife of one, she should be more self-conscious.

"You should eat more, Cordy," Nancy told Cordy, as if worried her hospitality was lacking.

Zoe did not take exception, since Nancy would not actually be sincerely nice to her anyway.

In fact, she felt lucky that Nancy did not already kick her to the curb.

Still, as Zoe ate, she wondered if she was imagining it, but every dish was her favorite.

She could even swear she tasted her childhood.

Did Levine Manor not change their chef after so many years? The man must be advanced in age.
