A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211

Zoe did not stop to argue with her grandfather.

Having lived here for years, she knew all too well that he would just talk her to death.

She pulled Cordy along and left Levine Manor, getting into their car that took them back to Cordy’s apartment.

Cordy did not say a word along the way and was so silent she might as well be air.

Zoe was not good at figuring out people or she could have avoided being so thoroughly wounded in her own relationship.

That was why she had no idea how Cordy felt as Cordy remained impassive. Was Cordy really sad, or was she actually as eerily calm as she looked?

But after they had returned home, Cordy went about her life as usually did, taking a shower and then going to bed.

It was as if nothing happened earlier, as if she was not hurt, not traumatized, and did not meet Zoe’s grandfather.

Unable to take it, Zoe dropped to her knees on the edge of the bed and snapped at Cordy, “Cry if you want, Cordy! You’ll feel better if you do-I’ve done it plenty of times myself or all that pent-up grief would hurt so much you’ll die.”

Cordy looked at Zoe’s face then and saw how much and obviously worried Zoe was.

She suddenly smiled.

It was not as if she did not want to cry, but she simply believed that crying changed nothing and things would just stay the same.

Moreover, she had become so jaded after so long that she could not cry, no matter how tremendous the tribulation.

And that was the case for today.

On the other hand, Zoe became even more flustered-how could Cordy still smile when she was clearly hurting?
