He loved her to the core. Could he watch her throw herself into another man's arms?John did not want to talk much with Zoe. "Are you going or not?" "Are you leaving?" Zoe appeared disappointed. "I have something else to do." "Have some wine." Zoe grabbed his clothes and refused to let go. "Let's have a drink since you're here!" John glared at Zoe. "It's been a long time since we last had a drink. You finally came back alive. Just do me the favor." Zoe picked up a glass of wine and shoved it into John's hands. John's face turned gloomy. "Just sit for a while if you're free," Cordy chimed in. "After all, we'll go back in a while because we need to wake up early tomorrow." John's heart wavered. He pursed his lips and answered, "Hmm." "Tsk!" Zoe was full of scorn. "It's useless no matter how much I say. Just one word from Cordy is enough to persuade you!" "Isn't that what you wish for?" Quinn inevitably criticized her. Zoe thought for a while. "That seems to be the
John was stunned, struck dumb on the spot and not accepting the glass of water for a long time.Cordy originally thought that it was a very normal action. It was her bachelorette party that night, and since John was there to drink with them, she should treat him politely. However, John's current action made her feel a bit awkward. She was about to put it down and go to ask Zoe and Quinn to leave when John accepted it. "Thank you." "You're welcome." John extended his hand to accept the glass of water, and surprisingly, he touched Cordy's hand by accident. Cordy behaved naturally and let go of the glass.On the other hand, John retrieved his hand as if he was frightened. The two of them let go of the glass at the same time, and all the water in the glass splashed on John's pants. Clang! The glass fell to the floor and was smashed into pieces, and they were struck dumb for half a second. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Cordy naturally took out a napkin to wipe his pants
Quinn did purposely leave them some time to be with each other because she felt that John might want to say something to Cordy. However, it was beyond her expectation that they would go straight to that. Should she go out now or stay in the washroom? Zoe was quite drunk earlier, but seemed to sober up now that she stumbled upon their romantic exchange.As she watched with great interest and excitement, she wondered if she was allowed to watch that for free.It was a pity that they did not become actors and shoot films. She was still trying to figure out if they should keep on watching if John and Cordy decided to go all out…Feeling anxious, they were full of complicated feelings. The two people on the couch were entangled even more. John's lips left her tender lips before he started kissing her neck. He put his hot, large palm under her clothes…Suddenly, his body stiffened when he tried to unhook her bra. He seemed to have woken up from being splashed with icy wat
After Cordy smoothed her clothes, she got up to leave."Cordy." Zoe could not hold herself back anymore, so she ran out of the washroom. She staggered, so she nearly threw herself on Cordy and made Cordy fall. "Are you going?" Zoe hugged Cordy and refused to let go. "Hmm, I have to wake up early tomorrow. You guys should go home early." "Let me give you a ride home.""Look at you. You'd better take care of yourself," Cordy said. "Mr. Parker is at the door." "Okay, we'll give you a ride." "I'll do it," Quinn chimed in. "You and Mr. Parker should go home first. You can't even walk steadily." "No, I…" "Zoe, listen to me." Quinn sounded serious. Zoe bit her lips. She wanted to chat for a little longer with Cordy."Well, I'll leave with Cordy first." Quinn ignored Zoe before she was about to leave with Cordy.The door was opened, and Jay was indeed at the door. When he saw Cordy come out, he appeared slightly awkward. "Zoe is drunk. Please take care of her." On the
"When did I say I got tired of you? I was talking about this affair. What you did wasn't very appropriate. You know that Cordy..." "Fine! Let's get a divorce!" Zoe said angrily. "Zoe!" "Look! You're so fierce to me! As expected, all men are alike. They won't cherish you once they get you. Will you do what you did back then? You got together with another woman after kissing me!" "Didn't I explain that to you? It was because I suddenly learned about our relationship…" "It's just an excuse!" Zoe refused to listen. "Jay, I saw through you. Let's get a divorce now!" "Shut up, Zoe. If you dare to say that again, I'll… I'll…" "Do you want to abuse me physically? Well, I'll report you to the police if you abuse me. I'll expose your sins on the Internet, so you won't be able to survive in the entertainment circle… Hmm!" Zoe widened her eyes. Jay! That b*stard! How could he kiss her in front of someone else?John was still around.She twisted her body to resist Jay, but he used
Cordy shook her head in silence. She did not know if she was telling Quinn or herself about her decision. "Cordy, you don't have to suppress yourself so. Your current choice is related to the rest of your life. You…" Quinn tried to persuade her. However, Cordy interrupted her and said, "Quinn, I'm well aware of my choice." "I know you're very rational. I also know that you'll work hard and lead a very good life once you've made the choice. Patrick is indeed a good man. That's undeniable. You'll also be very happy if you marry him. I also believe that you guys can be very happy in the future, but Cordy, don't you feel sorry about that? Won't you think of someone when you have a dream one night…" "No, I won't," Cordy answered very firmly. Quinn looked at her."Thank you, Quinn," Cordy continued. "I've thought of all of the things you said, but it's unworthy for me to risk everything I have now for a few feelings I may have when I have a dream one night." Quinn pursed her l
Quinn was struck speechless too. "It's a well-known fact that Cordy is prettier than you. Why do you haggle over this during her wedding?" "I'm a female star who never admits defeat," Zoe announced smugly. Both Cordy and Quinn were amused by her. They slept very late the night before, and Cordy might be the one who slept last among them.She just had a lot of…In short, Zoe's joke made her regain her wits at the moment. Zoe took a deep breath. "I'll wash my face with cold water. You have to try your best to make me pretty. Do you get it?" "Ms. York, you're very pretty even without makeup on." The makeup artist tried to please her. "You talk nicely. I'll ask Cordy to give you a great bonus later." "Thank you, Ms. York, Ms. Sachs." The room instantly became lively in the early morning. It was just a little past eight in the morning.Cordy had finished dressing up, and so did Zoe and Quinn. The bridesmaids' dresses were not any simpler than the bride's gown. The b
Patrick hammered on the door. "Open up!"There was a raucous from the outside, but Zoe shouted from behind the door, "We won't let you have Cordy just because you asked!"She was so excited it was as if she was the one getting married."What should I do, then?" Patrick asked loudly."Pay up.""You have to open the door. How else can I pay you?""Forget it. You men are savages—you'll start charging in the instant we open the door," Zoe replied, not easily fooled.It was true, since many of Patrick's family and friends from Rocktown were there with him, and were ready to charge inside like bandits if she opened the door."Well, how am I going to pay you if you don't open the door?""It's the digital age, Mr. Stuart. There's something called Google Pay!""But I don't have your account number.""Then start asking."Patrick had no choice but to ask, and Zoe told him. She soon received a notification of a wire transfer.It was a four-digit sum, and Zoe was impressed as she check
