A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 773
Zoe racked her brains, but she simply couldn’t remember when she had ever told Yelena that Jay was her father.Still, that wasn’t important. She needed to leave with Yelena right now if she didn’ want unnecessary trouble.A waitress arrived with their food, at which Zoe promptly made up her mind. "Excuse me, but can you box that up for me?""What?" The waitress did a double take, but quickly replied, "Oh, yes, we do, but we do charge an extra fee…""Sure," Zoe said. She immediately took a tissue off the waitress to write on. "Here, this is our address." "Okay." The waitress left with the plate of food."Are we leaving, Mommy?" Yelena asked in surprise. "Yes, we are.""Why? I don't want—I want to enjoy my birthday! Bad Mommy!" Yelena immediately refused to leave, since it was a rarity to celebrate her birthday."Be a good girl, Yelena. We can celebrate at home too. I'll buy you a big cake, okay?""No, I want to celebrate with Daddy!" Yelena snapped. She quickly got off her c

Yelena's little face was covered in bubbies as she babbled excitedly, "Mommy!"As Zoe helped Yelena wipe the bubbles off, Yelena asked innocently, "Let's take a bubble bath with Daddy next time, okay?"Zoe felt her good mood killed right then—Yelena really couldn’t get over the whole daddy thing, could she?Zoe scooped Yelena out of the bathtub, quickly rinsing the little girl before coaxing her to sleep.Zoe was going to read Yelena a fairy tale of a prince and a princess, but the latter yawned and instead asked, "Can Daddy read to me next time? I want Daddy to read it to me…"How many times had Zoe told Yelena that she didn’t have one?Fortunately, Yelena was too tired and quickly fell asleep. Even as she closed her eyes, she was still murmuring, "Daddy…"Zoe was genuinely speechless. She tucked Yelena in before going to the living room for a drink of water, where she found Clara cleaning up the room after the little birthday party.The house was always a mess because they

Clara actually regretted doing the dishes instead of staying with Zoe at the time.She missed the opportunity to find out who Yelena's father was!And now, they were never going to make Yelena understand, even if they wanted to.Moreover, judging from Zoe's attitude, she wasn’t going to say anything to Yelena's father. Just then, Zoe's phone rang. She hesitated a while after seeing the caller, but ultimately answered. "Where are you, Zoe?" Candice asked excitedly from the other end. "What is it?""Are you done with whatever you need to do?" Candice pressed."Uh…" Zoe did not respond—experience told her that Candice was definitely asking her out for drinks.And to no surprise, Candice went on, "Come to the karaoke bar! We're changing places now.""I think I'll pass…""Whatever it is that's important to you, you have to come!" Candice exclaimed. "Mr. Parker’s still here. It won't do if you're the only one missing out. Hurry, everyone's waiting! I'm sending you the address n

After all, their victory at the competition was overwhelming.Zoe didn’t hold back either, and poured herself a full glass while toasting Jay. "Sorry for being late, Mr. Parker. Bottom's up. "Zoe chugged her glass right after she spoke, while Jay glanced at her before picking her glass and finishing it in one go.Zoe remembered that he couldn’t hold his liquor.Had he improved so much after they were just years apart?Well, that had nothing to do with her anyway."I thought you were busy?" Jay asked nonchalantly."I was just finished," Zoe replied, not bothering to elaborate."Right." Jay didn’t ask anything further—it was just a polite exchange.After they drank, Candice pulled Zoe along to start drinking with the others. Though she was late, Zoe didn’t try to push them away. However, they were so intoxicated that they promptly joined in once Zoe offered them a toast.And thus it was a massacre in under an hour, with some of them vomiting their stomachs out right then and

Zoe quickly asked, "A-Are you alright? Should I call an ambulance?"Jay's heart rate was frighteningly fast! "I-I'm fine," Jay stammered, working hard to make his voice sound calm. "I just had a little too much to drink.""But your heart’s racing," Zoe said seriously. "You might contract something in your veins, and a blood clot in your brain can lead to stroke."Jay chuckled feebly at her words. "You really want me dead, don't you?"Zoe was speechless—that wasn’t what she meant, but whatever. She didn’t want to waste time on him; they were all adults, and it was his own business to take care of himself."Where's your phone? I'll call your assistant to take you home," she said."I think it's in my pants pocket," Jay replied, but he was not reaching for it.Zoe was speechless—a drunk person was really difficult to deal with.She reached into his pockets, but there was nothing in either of them.Was he messing with her?"There's nothing there," she said, not noticing that t

Jay was more or less keeping himself in line on the way home, saying nothing and not vomiting until they arrived at the destination.Zoe paid the cab fare and helped Jay out of the car, asking, "Can you go upstairs yourself?"Jay's figure wobbled, before he said slowly, "I don't know."That was definitely a no—Zoe knew that much.Jay had always been cunning, always troubling others even though he looked like the type who wouldn’t.Zoe clenched her teeth and helped him into his apartment complex, and up to his unit.Naturally, the man was staying in an affluent district. Zoe opened the door to see a spacious apartment, with glass walls covering three of the four walls. It was an expensive property Zoe hadn’t seen for a while, a little impressed and unable to resist giving it a few more looks.She used to scoff at grand apartments like these, but now, they were her dream house.As she helped Jay into his exceedingly luxurious bedroom, he suddenly said, "I think I'm going to be

Zoe quickly left Jay's bedroom, but she must’ve walked around the apartment twice before finding the laundry room. She threw all her clothes inside and pressed the buttons…only to find that it would take almost two hours for her clothes to dry.She suddenly remembered Jay taking Bob to his house three years ago, and how Bob vomited all over him. Jay waited for two hours at the time, too. The circle of life, indeed.As Zoe stayed in the laundry room, Jay never came to check on her—he probably fell asleep right after taking his shower, since anyone would easily doze off with alcohol.It was especially true for her, since she was already feeling drowsy without getting drunk.Still, it was understandable since it was already past midnight.She yawned endlessly, and checked the time to see that it was already one in the morning. She hesitated for a while before heading to the vast living room, out of the laundry room.The view outside the glass wall was indescribably beautiful

How did Jay get up so early?He really was operating like an elderly person would…"Sorry, I fell asleep without noticing," Zoe apologized. In a sense, she was also saying she didn’t want to stay there."I know," Jay replied. "Your clothes have been cleaned, and I’ve already taken them out. It's on the couch beside you.""I'll get changed right away," Zoe said. She promptly picked up her clothes and headed into the main bathroom, where she found even her underwear stacked neatly on her clothes…She decided to ignore it, and started to leave after changing.Their group was on break today—they all got drunk last night, and after a hellish week of rehearsals, they would all be sleeping in and resting to get themselves sorted on their break. Zoe was planning to go home and sleep the entire day too, but Jay called out to her just as she stepped out of the bathroom."Zoe…""Is there something else?'"Yeah. Have some breakfast before you go.""I'll pass.""It's ready…""I don’t
