A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 463

Jay's throat felt parched and dry, and he clenched his trembling fists.

He saw the hopelessness reflected in Zoe's eyes, the hopelessness she felt toward him.

He felt as if thousands of swords were piercing right through his heart at that moment, making him unable to say a word.

"If I could find someone else to help me, I wouldn't even consider troubling you," Zoe said softly. "But right now, you're the only one who can make Bob believe that I don't love him. I find it miserable indeed, to have only loved two men in all the twenty-five years I've lived. How good it would be if I had another option to go to."

Jay tried so hard to compose himself that his whole body shook.

He said through gritted teeth, "I'll help you."

Zoe looked at him, unmoved.

What was there for her to be moved by?

He simply had no choice after hearing what she said.

"Thank you," she whispered brokenly.

She still had to thank him.

Thank him for agreeing to it, despite being put in a difficult spot.

At night, before 8 PM, the doorbell rang.

Bob had the passcode to access her apartment, but because he insisted on showing her respect, he would always knock on the door out of habit.

He also said that he loved the feeling of her opening her door to him.

The smile on her face was enough to make his days from here on happy.

He never expected that the only time he used the passcode to open the door would result in him witnessing an earth-shattering scene.

He punched in the numbers one by one.

Meanwhile, Zoe looked at Jay inside the apartment.

Ever since Jay agreed to Zoe's request, the two of them had been sitting on the couch, awaiting Bob's arrival.

Zoe said that she would take the initiative to do something physically intimate with him.

He had dreamed about this countless times, yet each time he opened his eyes, he could only feel the tears from his eyes.

He dared not move, not even an inch.

He did not know what Zoe ultimately wanted.

He was afraid that if he were to show an ounce of response, she would not be able to take it.

He could only resist his instincts and leave Zoe to take the initiative…

The door was opened.

Bob stood at the door with a huge smile on his face, which froze the moment he looked into the apartment.

His smile was frozen stiff.

Was…

Was there something wrong with his vision?
