A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1336

Chapter 1336

Bob's cheeks were as read as a baboon's rump, and he looked sick.

He kept tossing and turning in bed, sighing endlessly until he eventually asked, "Jay, some water please..."

Zoe poured him a glass and made him sit up. "Get up before you drink."

Bob opened his muddled eyes, and it took him a while to see who it was.

"Oh, it's you." He smiled.

"What, I won't do?" Zoe asked grumpily.

"Isn't Jay worried, leaving you in a room with me?" Bob joked as he got up and took the glass.

"Nope," Zoe said bluntly. "He trusts your character."

Bob did a double take before smiling wistfully.

Truly, Jay had him pegged as some noble monk...

That was when Zoe added, "I trust you too. You're a really good man, Bob."

Bob gulped a little as he drank, hiding what he was feeling just then.

Once he was finished, Zoe asked, "Want some more?"

Bob shook his head.

"I'm taking it back then."

"Zoe..." Bob suddenly called out to her.

"Yeah?"

"Would you have gone back to Jay if I never let go back then?" he asked.

He could not help it-it was the worst regret he had in life.

How could he have bought the lie that Zoe cheated on him? He just had to ask around to find out that it was his mother's fault, and Zoe had to make sure he would give up, which was why she chose a drastic move.

She was always serious with everything-it was he who lost her.
