A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 770

Yelena sported a bob and baby fat remained on her adorable face. Her eyes were large and round and her skin was fair. She was bound to grow up as a beauty.

She slumped over the table listlessly, her face splat on the tablecloth.

Of course, Zoe knew that Yelena was like that because she was late. Yelena was angry and disappointed.

She hastened her footsteps and walked toward Yelena.

"Mommy!" The moment Yelena saw Zoe, her posture transformed completely.

Her entire demeanor brightened up, and even her eyes shone in the night.

She reached out her stumpy little arms and hugged Zoe as best as she could. "Mommy, you're finally here."

"I'm sorry for being late."

"It's all right," Yelena said forgivingly in her sweet voice. "Granny said that although it is my birthday today, it was also a very difficult day for Mommy. Mommy gave birth to me on that day and suffered much pain. So we'll celebrate my birthday today, as well as what Mommy did."

Zoe felt warmth creep up her heart at Yelena's words.

She could not help but kiss Yelena on her cheeks and hug her back tightly.

She sat on Yelena's chair and picked up the menu on the table, asking casually, "Have you ordered?"

Her tone toward Clara was significantly colder.

"Not yet. Yelena insisted on waiting for you before we ordered as she didn't want the food to go cold," Clara explained.

"Silly Yelena. You can order first and tell the restaurant to serve it later as you wait for Mommy," Zoe said dotingly.

"I'm not silly! I just want to wait for Mommy to come so that you can order what you like," Yelena rebutted her very seriously.

Once again, Zoe felt that warmth in her heart again.

She kissed Yelena once more. "You truly are my sweet darling."

"Of course I am!" Yelena said proudly.

The smile on Clara's face deepened as she looked at them.

Over the years, no matter how Zoe treated her, she felt content seeing how happy Zoe was now.

"What do you want to eat?" Zoe asked Clara after ordering her and Yelena's portions.
