A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 817

Yelena had still been groggy from sleep, but Zoe made her wide awake.

Blinking her large innocent eyes at Zoe, she asked, "Was that daddy?"

"Nope."

"But he's outside," Yelena retorted, pointing at the door. "I want to greet him."

"He's not your daddy."

Yelena simply ignored Zoe while exclaiming happily, "He must have come to visit me."

"How many times have I told you that he's not your daddy?!" Zoe yelled a little loudly just then.

She was already in bad shape after getting drunk, but Yelena insisted on messing with her!

"Bad mommy!" Yelena scowled, her little face contorting with indignation.

"Yes, I'm the baddest person there is, so go back to bed and sleep or I'm giving you a spanking," Zoe snapped, making herself look as menacing as possible just then.

Yelena pouted but tamely got in bed.

Naturally, she was utterly upset even as she lay down, thinking the worst of her mommy who stopped her daddy when he came to visit her.

She decided that she must find a way to see daddy.

Zoe sat beside her bed, not knowing what her baby girl was thinking. All she could hope for right then was for Jay to leave soon, while praying that he never saw Yelena.

Jay was just so smart. He had been topping grades when they were children, and if, just if…

No, Zoe told herself—she would not let him find out, nor did she need him to take responsibility.

After a while, Clara entered to find Zoe spacing out as she sat on bed.

She was not sleeping even after getting drunk just because she did not want to deal with Jay?

But the man was carrying her in his arms as he brought her home…

Still, Clara was not one to pry. She said, "Mr. Parker has already left. He wanted me to remind you to drink honey, which would help with your hangover headaches."
