A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390

Jay watched as Zoe headed to the distance, and smiled wistfully.

It seemed he was the only one who couldn’t get over the past.

As he rose to his feet, his whole body seemed frozen stiff.

He thought about leaving, but for some reason, he was following Zoe instead, keeping a distance between them as he did.

It was very cold and very late, so there weren't many others on the streets.

Zoe was alone...so it was dangerous to be alone.

Zoe didn't notice she was being followed, since her only thought was to have her apple pie and head back.

Soon, she arrived at the stall and made an order. The owner asked her," Your boyfriend's not with you today?"

"He's busy," she replied, keeping her head lowered.

Even if she was canceled, she was still a public figure. Thus, she didn't want to be recognized.

"You know, your boyfriend's really nice," the owner chuckled. "He came by this one time, and was worried it’d get cold before he got home, so he kept it under his clothes. Surely you know how hot a newly baked apple pie could be."

Zoe felt warmth blossom in her chest.

There were times when she wanted to stay home, and Bob would come out here to buy her apple pie...

If only she knew how good of a man he was! She would be dating him ages ago.

What could've gotten into her, that she was so eager to humiliate herself?

"Take it slow. You'd burn yourself if you eat too fast," the owner said as he handed her an apple pie.

"Thank you," she replied, and called Bob while she ate.

On the other hand, Jay had been close enough to hear everything-Zoe flirting with Bob over the phone, and what the owner told Zoe about Bob.
