A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249

John kept his head hung low and didn't respond to Zoe for a long time. For a moment, Zoe thought he had fallen asleep. After all, it was four in the morning. She had just returned from an outstation announcement, and was also very sleepy.

Just as she thought that, John slowly raised his head and replied, "Let's go."

Wait, really? She had only offered to be nice. More than anything, she wanted to burrow under the warm covers of her bed right now.

Regardless, Zoe followed John out for a late-night snack.

They chose a small street store. The good thing was that there wasn't anyone else around at such a late hour, and she was so heavily armed that no one recognized her.

"John, shouldn't you drink less?' Zoe said, trying to discourage him from drinking too much.

She couldn't sit idly and watch as her cousin drowned himself in alcohol ever since he sat down.

So many dishes were before him, but he hadn't even touched his utensils. It wouldn't be strange if he got alcohol poisoning from the way he was downing the drinks without eating a bite.

John ignored her and continued to drink as if he hadn't heard her.

"Did you have a fight with Cordy?" Zoe was exasperated and could only try to find the reason for his behavior by asking him.

John paused in his drinking spree but remained silent.

Cordy wouldn't argue with him. She would only stay calm and rational and work things out.

John even wished that she would get angry and lash out sometimes. At least, it would prove that she cared.

"What the hell is happening between you, Cordy, and Jessica?" Zoe said somewhat impatiently when John didn't reply.
