A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1262

Chapter 1262

Zoe stared at Cora in slight surprise, not quite convinced that she could let go of past grievances so easily.

Cora read Zoe’s mind too and explained, “Since I’ve been brought back here, my mother has become the most important person to me. She gave me everything I did not even dare dream of before, be it riches, fame, or kinship. To me, her concerns are mine, and I won’t care for what she doesn’t care about.”

In other words, Cora changed her opinion of Zoe because Nancy did.

It was as much of a surprise as it was unexpected.

However, Zoe told her bluntly, “Actually, I think you should be more independent. You shouldn’t be living for anyone else.”

Cora stared at her, unable to react to Zoe’s advice, not to mention that her mother had told her the same thing just the other night.

“I understand that you’re still afraid even after being given back what was rightfully yours,” Zoe explained. “That’s why you’re tiptoeing and never gained confidence, because you fear that your newfound happiness will turn out to be a hallucination.”

Cora pursed her lips, but it was clear that Zoe had experienced the same things she did, allowing Zoe to read

her mind.

Or perhaps… she was really afraid to admit it, and to stop herself obsessing over her grudge with Zoe.

Moreover, they were biological sisters-they shared a father, after all.

“Also, I’m guessing you have another reason for talking to me,” Zoe said then. “It’s Bob, isn’t it?”

Cora gaped, surprised that Zoe could see through that too.

She had always considered Zoe tactless and simple- minded, unable to read the room and unaware of what everyone else around her was scheming.

Zoe shrugged. “I just don’t like to do it, and I’m not good at it anyway-life shouldn’t be that complicated or taxing.”
