A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 462

Jay was lost in his thoughts.

"Are you unwilling to help me?" Zoe asked in a slight mocking tone.

She had expected that he might not be willing to.

After all, if he were to agree to help her, it would certainly cause a dent in his friendship with Bob.

To Jay, his self-benefit has always been his priority.

"I just feel like things need not be brought to such an extreme. Yulia doesn't want you to be with Bob simply because she's worried that Bob will anger Charles, and Charles would cut off Bob's inheritance of the family business. But if Bob starts taking the business seriously and works hard, thus gaining Charles' recognition of his abilities, there's no need for Charles to force Bob into a marriage alliance."

"Having been with the Levines for so many years, do you really think this is about inheriting the family business? A proper match in family backgrounds is the foundation of every high society marriage. What right do I have to marry into the Davis household given my status now?"

"I don't see any problem with your status. Bob loves you and that gives you the right to be with him. Proper matches in marriage is nothing but an excuse. True love conquers all things, not to mention social status…"

"But I am also someone whom Nancy hates to the core. Would Nancy allow me to be with Bob, especially now when she's bent on matchmaking Cora with Bob? If she were to know that I'm currently in a relationship with Bob, I can't even imagine what she'd do to me!" Zoe could not hold back her agitation.

"Whatever it is, I don't think it's right to make such a hasty decision. You can't rush matters of the heart. I suggest that you talk things through with Bob and have a good chat with him. There will definitely be a way out of this…"

"Jay, are you very worried that no one else will ever love me and I'll stay single and lonely?" Zoe cut him off and asked.

Jay felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In front of Zoe…no, just the thought of Zoe would often send sharp pain shooting through his chest.

"You're just worried that with no one else loving me, I'll cling onto you," Zoe said plainly.

A corner of her lips curled in a sneer.
