A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1227
There was much cheer in the anteroom, when Quinn suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder how things are going with John's wedding."While Cordy pursed her lips, Zoe remained cheerful and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? He's not marrying a woman I like, so he can do whatever he wants."Quinn chuckled. "Well, I'm just a little curious. There's nothing on John in the news at all—it's all you and Jay topping trending searches.""Of course," Zoe said smugly. "A star director and a star actress—now that's a real power couple. Everyone's going to be as jealous as they are envious.""Yeah, yeah, you're the best," Quinn replied.Zoe could not care less—she was the main event and the happiest person there was.They continued chatting and laughing for a while until a staff member entered. "Ms. York? You may enter the wedding hall now."Zoe became visibly agitated. "What should I do? I'm getting a little nervous…""Aren't you a star actress who's used to red carpet events? Are yo

The curtains of both miniature castles slid open.Zoe took a deep breath, feeling nervous if not mostly excited.She maintained a prim smile nonetheless, since that was a mandatory standard of a star actress, and she strode out of the miniature castle arch with the accompaniment of music.Without a father, and since Jay had trouble walking, she walked down the aisle alone toward Jay up their section of the stage.The guests were seated along the red carpet covered in petals, and she had not taken more than a few steps when she glanced aside. Behind her, Cordy and Quinn turned too, surprised to find no bride emerging from the arch.The guests were surprised as well, but no one asked any questions so that they did not impede the wedding.As such, Zoe continued striding along amid the romantic atmosphere and up the stage, walking straight toward Jay.Still, she glanced at the empty spot nearby, while the emcee was obviously left flustered as well.He walked toward John, seemingl

Everyone was charmed by Yelena in her little pink dress as she tamely brought the rings to Jay and Zoe."Thank you Yelena for bringing your parents your rings," the emcee said warmly, dropping to a crouch before Yelena. "Do you have anything to tell them?"Yelena leveled her round, large eyes at Jay and Zoe, before talking into the microphone. "I want a little sister."Everyone laughed at her words—with that goofiness, she was definitely Zoe's daughter.Jay and Zoe laughed too—honestly, who taught her that?In fact, Zoe had expected the emcee to ask something like that and even told Yelena while they were alone that she must wish them to be happy together forever.She had made sure that Yelena remembered that, only for the girl to say something else entirely.The emcee chuckled too and asked, "Not a brother?"Yelena blinked. "Well, that is acceptable."The adultlike tone left the whole hall laughing again, and Yelena suddenly said, "Actually, I want both. Daddy and Mommy shoul

While Zoe wondered if she had raised an ingrate, the emcee teased, "Let's give our flower girl another round of applause, to thank her for bringing us such joy."The hall was certainly resounding with laughter, and it seemed to have been the case since the start."And now, let's move on to the exchanging of rings," the emcee announced.Naturally, the wedding rings were matching and made in accordance to specific details. Jay took off the engagement ring on Zoe's middle finger and carefully slipped on the wedding ring on her ring finger. It was not entirely elegant, but Zoe found it beautiful anyway, since Jay had flown abroad just to have it designed according to his intention.She was so obviously engrossed staring at it and could not draw herself out that the emcee prompted her, "And now, the bride may help the groom put his on."Zoe realized with a start, and the hall rang with laughter again as it was a rather funny reaction.She picked up Jay's ring and put it on his ring

Every guest was staring at Cordy, convinced that she was going to declare her love for Jay because her affection for him was all too visible.And given Zoe's personality, she would want nothing less than to announce it to the whole world.And yet, when she began, she said, "There are two people I want to thank. The first is Clara Gooding, my mother."Clara was sitting below stage, her body obviously stiffening when Zoe suddenly mentioned her. She was holding Yelena in her arms after she got off the stage."Yes, she's my mother," Zoe said. "But I never called her that, because there was a time I hated her. If not for her, I wouldn't have gone through the worst moment of my life—I mean, who would've thought that an heiress of the great Levine family would turn out to be just a maid's daughter?"Her words were calm, but everyone could empathize with her pain and despair at the time."I really did not want to acknowledge her. I really wanted to disown her…" she continued even as sh

Zoe allowed herself to calm down before saying, "And the second person I wanted to thank is…""Your husband!" someone suddenly shouted below stage.Everyone laughed as Zoe paused, and she could not help laughing too. "Can't wait to start eating, can you, Bob?!"Naturally, it was Bob who shouted just now.He was learning to let go of the past and to bless Zoe. Everyone laughed at Zoe's outburst—it was certainly a wedding of tears and laughter."Sorry to disappoint you, Bob, but it's not my husband, and I have plenty to say. The wedding luncheon would have to wait."Bob shrugged, while the other guests chuckled before turning quiet. Zoe took a deep breath and then said, "The second person I want to thank is Nancy Levine."Nancy was naturally present.There were two weddings today, Jay and John's—she would never miss it for the world.And she would be lying to say that she did not take exception to Zoe's confession to Clara.She hated Zoe for the longest time, even now—for m

Zoe concluded, "That is why I'm grateful for you raising me, for giving me so much love so that I could survive any tribulations that may come and continue forward with determination. Much has happened between us, and though I know you still hate me, I'll still say to you: thank you."And with that, she bowed.Nancy pursed her lips, apparently not reacting.However, anyone close enough could see that her eyes were glimmering with tears, and she was holding them back.She never expected Zoe to still be grateful toward her now. After all the ruthless torment she put Zoe through, she thought Zoe would hate her back.She suddenly remembered Zoe as a child again.While not knowing who she really was, Zoe had been so adorable, and she always doted on Zoe…Nancy turned away so that she did not hold Zoe's gaze.Zoe watched her cold reaction, feeling slightly disappointed. Nancy was a proud woman, and there was no way she could let go of such a grudge.She had certainly been taken fo

As she pulled away, Zoe asked, "Can you feel it now?"She could express her love with actions, after all.Jay pursed his lips but did not answer, although his hand tightened over hers without knowing it."They're starting," Zoe quickly told him.Jay took a deep breath, deciding that he really should get used to Zoe—her emotions lasted no more than a couple seconds before changing.He turned toward the stage then, though he had to admit that the second wedding was actually the climax.He watched as John walked on stage under the emcee's invitation and took center stage.The emcee then went through a long opening monologue before announcing toward the castle arch, "Now, let's have our bride make her flashy appearance!"The curtains slowly parted, and everyone saw a woman in a white gown standing there.Indeed, there was no mistaking it—a gown, not a bridal dress.After all, it was not Wendy but one of her bridesmaids.She appeared awkward, unsure of what to do just then.
