A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 732

Nonetheless, Jay stopped her. "Zoe."

Zoe turned and promptly nodded politely. "Thanks for the ride, Mr. Parker."

"You left this," Jay reminded her then.

"Left what?" Zoe patted herself, but her bag and phone were there, and she had nothing else.

"This," Jay said, holding out a box of food.

While Zoe was left surprised, he said, "It's your portion."

Zoe realized with a start then.

Sure, she said she wanted to take the rest of it home, but she did not actually mean it…

And he was the one who bought the chowder in the first place. Why did he have to make up for it?

Still, she did not want to argue and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Parker. See you tomorrow."

Jay swallowed.

Was this the only way Zoe would treat him now?

Still, he raised the car window and told his chauffeur to drive away.

Zoe watched as the car left before heaving a slight sigh of relief.

Just now, she felt that Jay was a little angry for some reason.

Well, whatever—the past they shared was far from ideal anyway.

In fact, she would not argue if he wanted her dead.

Nonetheless, she gingerly returned home with the chowder, worried that she would wake up everyone else in the house since she had been returning very late recently.

But just as she stepped through the front door…

"Welcome home, Zoe."

Zoe was startled—there was only a single faint light in the living room, and Zoe did not notice the person on the couch.

"Did I scare you?" Clara looked very apologetic.
