A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1217
Cordy returned to her office after sending John to Levine Manor, but she ended up distracted, even spacing out during the meeting in the afternoon.When it was finally over, she could not focus on her work when she returned to her office.Her subordinates noticed she was being weird when they came to report the day's work, and they asked, "Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Sachs? Do you want to get checked at the hospital?"Cordy had never been perfunctory in the years since she took over the company, after all.She did a double take when her subordinate pointed that out, finally realizing that she was acting strange.Still, she said, "I'm alright—I just need a break. You may go for now.""Yes, Ms. Sachs."Cordy then had her assistant bring her a cup of coffee to freshen up before walking up to the glass wall and gaze upon the city's skyline to adjust her mood.She admitted to herself right then that she was not entirely unaffected by John's upcoming wedding.Was it really only beca

In the photo, it looked as if Cordy was John's bride, and they were really getting married…Cordy pursed her lips as she stared at it. She then tore her eyes away and replied to Zoe's text: [Don't send that photo anywhere else or tweet it. It's inappropriate.][Puh-lease. What's inappropriate about that? The four of us are just gorgeous—we'd be the kings and queens of showbiz!]Zoe's excitement was palpable, but Cordy was stern nonetheless.[Zoe, I'm not the bride.]Zoe could actually feel Cordy's wrath even from behind the screen—she was livid, even.As such, Zoe quickly replied: [I won't tweet it. I just wanted to show you how good us four looked. Just save it for the memories.]Cordy, however, disagreed—she was adamant that the photo was inappropriate.Maybe she just wanted to avoid looking at the photo and let her imagination go astray. Still, it was Zoe's photo, and it was her freedom if she wanted to save it.[Aren't you a little upset, Cordy?] Zoe asked gingerly.C

Cordy said evenly, "That means it's his decision. Shouldn't we respect it?"Zoe was left speechless by Cordy's retort, but Cordy could understand where Zoe was coming from—she could not afford to do nothing given her connection to John, and it was even reasonable for her to be agitated.However, there was no uncertainty that Cordy and John had missed out on each other, and that was that."Whatever. I'll stop here," Zoe said, giving up right then, perhaps understanding that anything else she said was pointless just then. Cordy could sense her disappointment.However, while there were things where she would stake everything to help Zoe, she was powerless in others."Well, now you just have to wait for our wedding. Just be there on time," Zoe said. "Yeah." Cordy smiled. I'll properly make time to be a good bridesmaid.""I'm hanging up now. Bye.""Bye."Cordy's smile faded the instant she hung up, and she looked out into the distance.She thought to herself that she just had t

Cordy headed to Zoe's home before six in the morning on the day of the wedding, though Zoe had just gotten out of bed and was barely awake.Seeing Cordy and Quinn arrive, she mumbled feebly, "Getting married is… taxing.""And you were looking forward to it so much," Quinn teased."No way. Jay insisted—I had no say in it.""Stop bragging," Quinn snapped.Zoe stuck her tongue out at Quinn and smiled.Despite her complaint, Zoe had to admit that she felt great.With that, all three of them started to put on their makeup on the makeshift dressing table, and it certainly took them a while—especially Cordy, who was not done even after Zoe's complicated bridal makeup was complete.Were they trying to make her the belle of the ball?Her ego actually felt a little hurt for the first time ever, since she always thought of herself as a natural beauty who did not need much makeup. After a long while, she asked, "Wait, there's still more?!""Sorry, Ms. Sachs, but I guess I'm a little la

Nonetheless, Zoe was determined. "I don't care. I'm not going to open the door just like that."Bob sighed feebly. "Well, what can we do to convince you, ma'am?" "Tell Jay to sweet-talk me," Zoe said. "And make sure it pleases me."Bob called out loudly right then, "You heard your bride, Jay. She wants you to sweet-talk her."Everyone laughed in amusement. Joy was never lacking wherever Zoe was.However, silence followed the laughter, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Jay to say something. They were amused just a moment before, and now actually expectant—they all knew that Jay was not good with words, despite being a film director. In private, he did not speak much.And now, he was supposed to declare his love for Zoe in front of so many… the bride truly knew how to mess with her groom.After a long, deafening silence, however, Jay still did not say a word.Zoe, who had been a little smug at first, started to panic a little.She called out loudly, "Jay? Why don't you say

"Zoe…" Jay suddenly spoke outside.Zoe's heart skipped a beat.Even though they had been together for a while now, her heart would still race when he said her name so tenderly."I'm very nervous now," he said. "I'm even more tense and excited than when I was giving my acceptance speech for being awarded the best director."Zoe's heart kept racing, with her feeling ever so slightly guilty and wondering if she had really put Jay in an awkward position."I didn't want to drag things out—I'm worried I'd delay our wedding too, and heaven knows how long I've been waiting for this moment."As Jay spoke quietly outside, it was obvious he was working very hard to keep his own voice calm. "I've been planning this wedding for so long and was looking forward to this ever since we had our marriage registered. I wanted to give you an unforgettable wedding, and not just to do it while Johnny was having his. I prepared this with all my heart."Zoe nodded silently—she certainly knew, because she

Zoe stared at Jay and Yelena, her eyes welling up with emotional tears.She really wanted to weep, for the sight of them before her was the most blissful moment she had ever seen."Mommy," Yelena called out to her in her soft voice as she held out the bouquet with her little pudgy hands.Zoe could not stop herself as more tears welled in her eyes."Why are you crying, Mommy?" Yelena asked in confusion. "Shouldn't you be happy you're marrying Daddy today?""I'm not crying, I just…" Zoe was choking on her tears, unable to explain herself."Daddy was crying too," Yelena suddenly said.Zoe was left stunned, while Yelena round cheeks curled into a grin. "His eyes were red like yours, and he told me he wasn't crying when I asked, just like you, Mommy. You're both so funny."Zoe looked up at Jay, who blushed a little.He had certainly been so thrilled he could not stop his tears, and he certainly did not expect Yelena to spill the beans.He would have been embarrassed any other day,

'I-Is he being serious?'Jay had always been so shy and withdrawn, but he was doing this in front of so many people…'Hmph! 'Let's see who lasts!'Zoe never liked losing and began to respond—even going on the attack.They locked lips for a long while until the people around them could not help reminding them, "Hey, you two are the main event, but aren't we on a schedule?"Zoe and Jay did a double take, realizing then that they were getting too much into it.As Zoe pulled away, she saw Jay blushing all the way up his ears.What should she do? She felt like she loved him even more now and wanted to jump him right then.Wedding? She would rather stay in bed with him."Quit staring at each other already," Bob snapped, having had enough. "You two had plenty of action already, so can't you be more considerate about the feelings of poor single folks like me? Get married already."Jay puckered his lips and sighed quietly, still feeling the touch of Zoe's lips just then.Nonetheles
