A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 866

Until now, he told Zoe nothing.

He would rather she hate him for life than go through the torment that he did.

But he never expected that Zoe was not a member of the Levine family by blood.

The moment he found out, he did not know whether to be happy or not.

He had hurt Zoe so much, after all.

All right, he admitted that he felt truly happy.

It meant that he was not related to Zoe by blood and they could be together openly.

But that required some time, because Nancy could not accept Zoe's existence.

Zoe was evidence of her husband having an affair. For someone as proud as Nancy, she would never accept Zoe's existence.

So, if he wanted to be with Zoe, his only choice was to sever ties with the Levine family.

He looked Alan up to lay all his cards on the table without any hesitation.

Alan did not immediately agree; instead, he simply said that they would talk again after some time.

He agreed to Alan, thinking that there was still time and by way of thanking him for raising him over the years.

But life never went according to plan.

Before he could start life anew with Zoe, she had gotten together with Bob.

He was always late by a step, and he was fated to pass her by.

Once again, he had to bury his own feelings and give Zoe and Bob his blessings.

As long as she was happy and as long as they genuinely loved each other, that was enough for him.

As for himself, he had gotten used to it over the years.

He had gotten used to dreaming of Zoe in the depths of the night, waking up in tears and to an aching heart.
