A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 772

Zoe frowned. When did she ever point out someone on television and tell Yelena exactly who her father was?

"I'll show you, Mommy." Yelena gave up on explaining, feeling the urgency to take her mommy to see her daddy.

Zoe was being pulled along by the girl, almost taken into the men's room. Before things could escalate, she hurriedly scooped Yelena up in her arms. "Yelena, sweetie, girls don't go into the men's room."

"But Daddy's inside…"

"You don't have a daddy," Zoe explained feebly as she carried Yelena away.

"Everyone in the kindergarten has a daddy. Why not me?" Yelena asked.

"...You had one. He just died early," Zoe lied.

"But I just saw him!" Yelena furrowed her little brows, looking a little angry.

Zoe said nothing, and brought Yelena back to her highchair. She simply considered it a sudden fantasy of Yelena's, since a three-year old would occasionally have her head in the clouds.

Even so, Yelena refused to let it go.

Seeing that her mommy doubted her, she told her grandma loudly, "Grandma, I just saw Daddy."

Clara did a double take. "You daddy?!"

What daddy?!

She herself had no idea who exactly Yelena's daddy was, yet Yelena did?!

She turned towards Zoe, who remained nonchalant. "Let her be. She's just spouting nonsense."

Yelena got a little upset at that. "No, I'm not! I’ll take you toDaddy if you don't believe me."

And with that, she climbed off her chair and pulled Zoe along to see her daddy.

Zoe didn’t want to do it, but she couldn’t stop Yelena's resolve either.

They only managed to walk two paces when Zoe spotted Jay. She immediately turned around.
