A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1230
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.

Wendy paused for a few seconds just then, and the guests at the scene all turned in shock toward John and Cordy.Cordy was pursing her lips, surprised that Wendy would suddenly mention her.Nonetheless, Wendy continued, "I know you've been good to me and earnestly wanted to be with me, but I must say that Cordy is a better fit for you. I can also tell that you have feelings for her although you keep hiding it deliberately. Are you perhaps afraid that she would reject you?""Actually, as a fellow woman, I can feel that Cordy loves you too. I don't know what happened between you that you deliberately kept your distance, but I earnestly feel that you both deserve each other. I asked Dicky too, and he admitted that he liked me but he still rather his parents get back together."Cordy turned toward Richard, who had been constantly tagging along at John's side.His face was still a child's, but he was over five feet tall and could play the role of John's best man.Though dressed smartl

#Cordy stared at John, watching as tears seemed to well up in his eyes. She was not sure if he was devastated that Wendy suddenly left him at the altar or over something else.Suddenly, she realized that she could not think straight, and her emotions were a mess.For the first time, she had no idea what she wanted to do."Wendy's right, and actually…" John said, gulping. "This wedding was prepared for you."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, surprise showing in her eyes.She thought Wendy running away from her wedding was expected, since Wendy was too self-indulgent to let go of the many vices the world had to offer.She just did not expect John to prepare the wedding for her.She was skeptical too, because John had no idea what Wendy was really like and therefore would never anticipate whether Wendy would come to the wedding hall.As such, Cordy felt a little repulsed.If John openly admitted to being tricked and asked her to help him save face, she might have agreed to it—this

The endless silence only made everyone anticipate Cordy's response more.After all, they could all tell that he was hopelessly in love with Cordy.Still, there was no telling what she was thinking just then, and she simply stared at John while he stared back.They were both silent while Richard stood nearby, staring blankly at them.He knows that this was his daddy's last chance—that he would have no more chances if his mommy still rejected him…But he really wanted them to get back together, and honestly felt that his daddy loved his mommy dearly.He had no idea how devastated his daddy would be to lose his mommy.He really did so much for her, going to the extreme lengths of playing pretend lovers with Wendy so that mommy would marry him…"I'm sorry," Cordy suddenly said.It was a rejection the instant she spoke.John smiled in relief, but his eyes were tearful.His heart really ached, but he truly gave in this time.He knew he had really hurt Cordy too much, that she did
