Chapter 1263
After dinner at Levine Manor, Cordy and John left with Richard, while Zoe and Jay left with Yelena.
Nancy walked with them to the door, watching as they got into their car." Remember to come back often, Johnny."
"Yeah," John replied.
"But he's going to the capital soon," Zoe said, tactless as ever. ’He has to visit Cordy's family, so he's going to be gone for a while. Don't ask too much now."
Zoe was among one of few who found out about Cordy’s connection to the Cranstons later on, and she thought Cordy must have gotten tired of having to keep hiding that fact from her.
In reality, Cordy only told her because there was no threat against them- she did not want her loved ones to worry for her, let alone get them caught in danger.
However, before Nancy could say a thing, Cordy turned toward Zoe. ’But I never said I'm going to the capital, did I?"
Did anyone say anything about that?
Zoe appeared perplexed in turn-did she really not know? "But I just heard Jay and John talking about it this afternoon..."
Cordy turned toward John right then, who explained, "We talked about it last night."
Cordy frowned-he never said it was today!
Zoe giggled. "Well, you're not going to remember all the strenuous activities you were up to last night..."
"I'm on my period," Cordy blurted, having had enough of Zoe's teasing.
"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock. ’You mean you did not do it last night?!"
Cordy was silent, and Zoe took it as an admission, turning to look at John with sympathy right then.
Last night must have been torture for him!
"We're going tomorrow. I've already contacted Sean." John changed the subject right then.
"Do we have to go so soon?"
"I'm not exactly in a hurry," John replied.
