A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1009
Zoe wasn’t trying to provoke Jay or scorning him, but…Fine, she could admit that it hurt her to see how difficult life was for Jay these days. It was why she blurted out such thoughtless words.And the look on Jay's face now, she felt like she had wounded him again."I mean…” she went on awkwardly. “Don't get me wrong, I just think…" Even as she quickly tried to explain, she fumbled her words once again—which she seemed to do every time the situation became tense. "The doctors told me that chances of recovery are very low. I've tried physiotherapy before as well, but the effect wasn’t obvious," Jay said calmly, his emotions inscrutable.But whatever the case may be, he seemed really wounded.Before Zoe could say more, Jay had Yelena sit on his lap, and steered his wheelchair ahead.Zoe watched as he left, feeling so guilty she could die.-They only had a simple lunch after spending the day at the amusement park. Moreover, Yelena was too energetic and never ate much as she

Zoey followed Jay into the elevator.She wanted to speak several times, but gave up whenever she saw the stern look on Jay's face in the mirror within the elevator.Even if she had cleared the air—even if they were now in a proper relationship, there was still a huge distance between them.Arriving home, Zoe immediately picked up the strong scent of food.And she had been famished.They had been playing with Yelena the whole day without eating much, so eating something a little late would probably be fine."Welcome home," Clara greeted them warmly as she approached them. "Oh, Yelena’s asleep already?"She took Yelena off Jay's arms as if it was only natural, and Jay didn’t reject her in any way.In other words, Jay was only being distant towards Zoe.He then told Clara, "We've been playing the entire day. Let her sleep.""Okay." Clara always spoiled Yelena, and naturally couldn’t bear to wake her since she was sleeping so soundly. Carrying Yelena into her room, Clara said,

Jay suddenly said, "You won't get fat in a day.""You're a riot. I'm going to be a pound heavier tomorrow, with half of it on my cheeks and the other half on my waist…"Zoe closed her eyes, stopping herself from imagining the sight. "You were watching me eat, Jay! Why didn't you remind me of the so-called actress' self-discipline?!""You told me not to remind you."Zoe was speechless. With friends like these, who needed enemies?!She slammed her fork and knife on the table right then and left the table.Jay certainly knew that she was already making a run for the body weight scale in the room.Soon, they heard a blood-curdling scream from the room.In reality, she would at most have gained a quarter of a pound…"Jay, I guess you should eat more." Clara gestured at Jay just then, used to Zoe's obsession with weight."Okay," Jay replied and kept eating.Yelena woke up after he was finished, and he played with her a little to clear her drowsiness and kept her company as she a

Zoe was a little annoyed.Was Jay that sensitive to her presence?She really wondered just then how he remained so calm whenever she put the moves on him back at Levine Manor.These days, it was like he flared up the instant she looked his way!She slid her dainty hands against his bare skin just then, but he caught her. "Get some sleep soon. It's a long journey tomorrow.""But… we can't do it once we leave tomorrow."Whether there were cameras in their room tomorrow night, they were still doing a recording away from home. There certainly was no way they could get frisky, ignoring the presence of the entire production crew, right?Jay began, "Zoe—"Zoe cut him short right then. "I repulse you, right?"Jay did a double take. "I thought it's the other way around."The pot was calling the kettle black!"I… That's why we have to learn more," Zoe said as if it was only natural, even though he was clearly blushing. Jay's heart was racing in turn, but he had to admit that today

Zoe asked in exhaustion, "What time is it?"Did they not have a recording today?!"It's still early. You can sleep a little longer if you're sleepy.""But can we make it?" Zoe pressed, unable to open her eyes wide and actually intending to sleep in."Yeah.""Okay. I'm sleeping a little longer," Zoe said and tossed around.Even that took considerable effort, and she made a mental note not to tease Jay from now on.Honestly, she should not even touch him or the consequences would be too severe!However, she stiffened right then—even as she turned her back toward Jay, he gathered her in his arms from behind with a bear hug.Still, he said, "Don't worry. I'm holding back."Zoe was silent but skeptical, though she fell asleep anyway.She had no idea how long had passed when she woke up again and stretched.Jay was still holding her firmly in his arms from behind.And here she was wondering why it felt like she was suffering sleep paralysis—it was all Jay."You're awake?" he as

Zoe promptly tapped on the article, which briefly described their family of three going out on a playdate.There were some exaggerated parts here and there but nothing malicious.She then scrolled through the comments.[Can I just say that this is so sweet it hurts? I'm so jealous…][Jay Parker usually looks so reserved and aloof, but there's no hiding it when you're in love.][How could anyone look that good? They really deserve each other.][Oh, I think I believe in love again now…][This public display of affection caught me off guard, but I approve!]Zoe scrolled through a huge portion of the comments, but most of them were nice.At least there was nothing like 'hurting public morals', 'society these days', or 'family unfriendly'.She decided to be more careful when they were out in public next time around.However, she realized that it was not even her fault after some thought—it was clearly Jay's."So? I take it that you've seen it?" Cordy teased from the other end.

Zoe quickly washed up and got changed before leaving the house with Jay.He brought her some low-fat food, and she asked worriedly, "Are we really not going to affect recording progress?"She was really afraid of getting scandalized, since she still wanted to stay in showbiz."We'll be fine. Don't worry.""Alright," Zoe said, telling herself to trust Jay as well.He had never broken a promise before, after all.-Later, Zoe finally found out how Jay could be so direct. The second episode was to be filmed at a huge farm situated up in the mountains. Aside from organic and natural crops, there was also a ranch for livestock.They were supposed to ride a land vehicle through a rugged mountain path, but Zoe and Jay went there on a helicopter. As such, while traveling on land would have taken them six hours, they arrived in just two hours, saving them a total of four hours. What was more, two of the other couples were still on the way there when they arrived, and one of them was

The lettuce was certainly heavy, but Zoe started looking for the next vegetable on the inventory.She had never seen actual eggplants in farms before, but she at least knew that they were purple.It was too distinct a trait, so she found them immediately and plucked two.And then, it was the bell peppers… "Bell peppers, so peppers that look like bells? I guess I just have to find something similar… Okay, got it!"Zoe started to get a little excited just then.She suddenly wanted to praise herself for her intelligence—she never felt as smart as this!Once she was done with the bell peppers, she started to look for giant cabbages."This one should be easy. Since it's 'giant', I just have to find the biggest vegetable in the farm," Zoe said, though she had to move to another part of the farm to pull out the cabbage.With that in the basket, she moved on to the spring onion, and found it yet again according to a hunch.But what was a cilantro? Zoe was left staring at the word.
