A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 922

Jay leaned in to kiss Zoe on the lips again before quietly leaving, content.

He then spent three long hours making one soup and three dishes, and while it did not look good, Zoe woke up when she smelled the fragrant aroma.

She was too hungry and had not eaten for almost a day.

As she sat up, Jay asked her, "You're up?"

"Yeah," Zoe replied, stretching. "Are you done?"

"Yeah. See if you like it."

Zoe sat in front of the dining table, staring at the food that hardly looked appetizing.

"Let's make do for now. I'll visit the other couples tomorrow and learn from the best." Jay clearly saw Zoe's look of aversion.

Zoe, however, said nothing and took the knife and fork from Jay to start eating.

She might have been really hungry, since it did not taste as bad as she thought.

"How is it?" Jay asked nervously.

"It's okay." Zoe did not hold back her praise.

"That's good," Jay replied, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, darling," Zoe suddenly said.

"It's my honor to be praised by my dearest."

Zoe was speechless—that was so cringeworthy!

She had to pretend as if they were in some sappy soap opera.

After finishing dinner, Jay turned her down when she offered to do her dishes.

She did not nap again this time, instead keeping him company and watching him fumble his way through.
